The 2015-2 Regular Cycle State-Coordinated Review amendments include three privately-initiated Future Land Use Map Amendments (located in District 1) and one staff-initiated amendment. These proposed amendments are located in the Horizon West Sector Plan, and therefore, are subject to the State-Coordinated Review process. .A second round of public hearings for adoption of these proposed amendments will occur after the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) and other State agencies complete their review of the amendments and provide comments, which are expected in September 2015. Pursuant to 163.3184, F.S., the proposed amendments must be adopted within 180 days of the comment letter. The adoption public hearings are tentatively scheduled for the LPA on October 15, 2015, and the BCC on November 10, 2015. Once the Regular Cycle State-Coordinated amendments have been adopted by the BCC, they will become effective approximately 45 days after the date on which the Notice of Intent (NOI) is posted to the DEO’s Internet site, provided no challenges are brought forth for any of the amendments. These amendments are expected to become effective in January 2016. Any questions concerning this document should be directed to Alberto A. Vargas, MArch., Manager, Planning Division at (407) 836-5308 or [email protected], or Gregory Golgowski, Chief Planner at (407) 836-5624 or [email protected].

Staff Recommendation
Make a finding of consistency with the Comprehensive Plan (see Future Land Use Element Policies FLU1.4.1, FLU1.4.2, FLU4.1.1, FLU8.2.1, FLU8.2.2, FLU8.2.11), determine that the amendment is in compliance, and TRANSMIT Amendment 2015‐2‐A‐1‐2, Horizon West, Village H Specific Area Plan (SAP) – Apartment District (APT) and Wetland/Conservation (CONS) to Horizon West, Village H Specific Area Plan (SAP) – Village Home District (VHD) and Wetland/Conservation (CONS).
Analysis
1. Background Development Program
The applicant has requested to amend the Horizon West Village H Specific Area Plan (SAP) Land Use Map by replacing the existing Apartment District (APT) designation on Parcel 45 with the Village Home District (VHD) designation. The existing Wetland/Conservation area (CONS) will remain as it currently exists.
The parcel is located at 11355 Avalon Road; generally described as located on the east side of Avalon Road, north of Lake Star Road, south of Flamingo Crossings Boulevard, and west of State Route 429. The intermediate area has multiple Planned Developments that contain a mixture of future residential and commercial development, all of which are part of the Horizon West Village H and I Specific Area Plans. The property is surrounded on the north, east, and south by wetlands and by the boundary of Horizon West Village I. There have not been any Planned Developments approved adjacent to the subject parcel within Village I to the east. Additionally, the Reedy Creek Improvement District (RCID) has land nearby to the east that is used for its operational purposes.
This parcel is part of the larger, previously approved Springhill Planned Developemt (PD), approved April 9, 2013. The Springhill PD is a 550.03 acre mixed residential and commercial PD, containing a mixture of Village Center, Neighborhood Center, Apartment, Townhome, Estate, Garden Home, and Village Home Districts on 189.23 net developable acres. The Springhill PD also contains land planned for an elementary school, fire station, and expansion area for the CR 545 (Avalon Road) Right‐of‐Way.
The allowable area density on Parcel 45 within the existing Apartment District (APT) designation is up to 25 dwelling units per net developable acre, with a maximum of 285 dwelling units, though the approved PD proposed 262 units. With the proposed Village Home District (VHD), if approved, the permitted density within the developable area would be up to 7.5 dwelling units per net developable acre, with a maximum of 85 dwelling units. The wetland/conservation area within Parcel 45 is not changing, and a Conservation Area Determination will be performed as the PD goes through the development process.
If this request is approved, a Change Determination Request (CDR) will need to be submitted to amend the approved Springhill PD Land Use Plan (LUP).

2. Project Analysis
Consistency
The proposed Specific Area Plan (SAP) Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment appears to be consistent with the applicable Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. As Comprehensive Plan (CP) Policies FLU1.4.1 and FLU4.1.1.C state, the Village and overall area shall contain a diversity of housing types to enable citizens from a wide range of economic levels and provide for a diversified community, and design should be based on an urban character. The parcel will maintain this diversity as the options for detached and attached single family homes and townhomes will be present; housing diversity will also continue being maintained within the larger Springhill PD and Village H.
Policy FLU4.1.1.I states that, whenever possible, the natural terrain, drainage, and vegetation of the area shall be preserved with superior examples contained within parks or greenbelts. The existing and identified Wetland/Conservation (CONS) area for the natural wetlands will not be modified with this request, and the goal of that policy will be upheld. The proposed change to Village Home District will maintain the exisitng housing diversity within Village H and Horizon West. Additionally, the reduction in housing density caused by this proposed change will reduce the intensity of development along the adjacent wetland and provide an opportunity for better or more efficient conservation of the area.
The proposed change to Village H Specific Area Plan (SAP) on Parcel 45 is also consistent with Policy FLU8.2.2, which states that continous stretches of similar housing types and density of units shall be avoided. As identified on the Future Land Use Map, there are large swaths of Apartment District (APT) designations to the north and south of the subject parcel, which, with the current designation on the parcel, create the possibility for a continuous development of apartments. The requested amendment will eliminate that possability and let the area meet the policy goal.
Compatibility
Policies FLU1.4.2 and FLU8.2.1 require that land use changes be compatible with the existing development and development trends in the area, and Policy FLU8.2.11 states that compatibility may not necessarily be determined to be a land use that is identical to those uses that surround it. The applicant proposes a change to develop the subject site with single‐family residential units.
Compatibility with existing development in the area: Though there is currently no existing developments in the immediate vicinity of the subject parcel, the proposed Village Home District (VHD) SAP designation would allow a variety of single‐family residential development that is compatible with the Horizon West residential developments in the vicinity. This change is also compatible with the existing LUP of the Springhill PD, as it maintains the density requirements and residential character of the neighborhood. Lastly, this change would reduce the impact of development to the adjacent wetland and conservation area as there would be fewer allowed dwellings.
Compatibility with development trend in the area: There have not been any active land developments adjacent to or immediately within the area of the subject parcel, and the current surrounds are all forested area or previously graded, undeveloped land. This amendment is compatible with the future development trends in the area, as this area has been planned for different types of development with the Horizon West Village H SAP, and there will be development
Orange County Planning Division DEO Transmittal Staff Report Steven Thorp, Project Planner Amendment 2015‐2‐A‐1‐2
July 28, 2015 Commission District 1 Page | 6
of different types of residential, village commercial, and school sites in close proximity to the subject site. This change also reflects the trend in Horizon West to have lower impact development adjacent to the wetland areas. The proposed amendment will lower the intensity of development next to the wetland that is adjacent to the developable area on all three sides. Based on the development characteristics and the approved land development plans for the area, the proposed change from Apartment District (APT) to Village Home District (VHD) is compatible with the development patterns of the area.
3. Public Facilities and Services
Environmental. There are wetlands located onsite that extend offsite. Prior to issuance of any Orange County permits or development approvals, the Environmental Protection Division (EPD) will require a completed Conservation Area Determination (CAD), and if encroachments are proposed, a Conservation Area Impact (CAI) Permit, consistent with Chapter 15, Article X Wetland Conservation Areas. This property was not included in CAD 05‐218 completed for the western parcels on the Springhill Planned Development. Approval of this request does not authorize any direct or indirect impacts to conservation areas or protective buffers.
Until wetland permitting is complete, the developable acreage is the gross acreage less wetlands and surface waters. Any plan showing development in a wetland area without Orange County and other jurisdictional governmental agency wetland permits is speculative and may not be approved.
The removal, alteration or encroachment within a Class I Conservation Area shall only be allowed in cases where: no other feasible or practical alternatives exist, impacts are unavoidable to allow a reasonable use of the land, or where there is an overriding public benefit, as determined before the Orange County Board of County Commissioners.
Development of the subject property shall comply with all state and federal regulations regarding wildlife or plants listed as endangered, threatened, or species of special concern. The applicant is responsible for determining the presence of listed species and obtaining any required habitat permits from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and/or the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). This site may be suitable habitat for the sand skink and blue‐tailed mole skink. Note that skink surveys are conducted annually during a specific time period between March and May.
Utilities. The subject property will be served by Orange County Utiltities and any trsmission system improvements and connection points must be in accordance with the approved Horizon West Village H Specific Area Plan (SAP) Master Utilitiy Plan (MUP).
Transportation. The trip generation analysis indicates that the proposed amendment will result in a reduction of pm peak hour trips by 83 trips, or a 48% reduction. Therefore, the potential impact of the proposed development on the surrounding transportation infrastructure is significantly reduced. Final permitting of any development on this site will be subject to further review and approval from the County’s Development Review Committee (DRC) as well as an assessment of roadway capacity constraints based on the Transportation Concurrency Management System, and the applicant will be required to mitigate any deficiencies that may occur from the proposed development.
Schools. The project must have an executed Capacity Enhancement Agreement (CEA) prior to the Board of County Commissioners approval. The applicant has submitted an application (reference #OC‐15‐008) to the Orange County School Board.

4. Policy References
FLU1.4.1 Orange County shall promote a range of living environments and employment opportunities in order to achieve a stable and diversified population and community.
FLU1.4.2 Orange County shall ensure that land use changes are compatible with and serve
existing neighborhoods.
FLU4.1.1 General Village Principles. Each Village Specific Area Plan (SAP) shall be designed based on an urban development pattern, which encourages the formation of a suburban village while ensuring the provision of adequate public facilities and services concurrent with development and protection of environmental quality.
A. Planning for the Village shall be in the form of complete and integrated neighborhoods containing housing, shops, workplaces, schools, parks and civic facilities essential to the daily life of the Village residents.
B. Village size shall be designed so that housing is generally within a 1.2 mile radius of the Village Center (shops, services and other activities). This radius may be relaxed where natural or community facilities and services interrupt the design.
C. A Village shall contain a diversity of housing types to enable citizens from a wide range of economic levels and age groups to live within its boundaries.
D. Wherever possible, as many activities as possible shall be located within an easy walking distance of an existing or designated transit stop.
E. The Village and each neighborhood shall have a center focus that combines commercial, civic, cultural and recreational uses. Higher density residential development should be encouraged in proximity to these centers, with the highest density/attached housing encouraged in proximity to the Village Center.
F. The Village shall contain an ample supply of specialized open space in the form of squares, greens and parks whose frequent use is encouraged through placement and design.
G. Each Village shall have a well‐defined edge, such as greenbelts or wildlife corridors permanently protected from development.
H. Local and collector streets, pedestrian paths and bike paths shall contribute to a system of fully connected and interesting routes from individual neighborhoods to the Village Center and to other villages. Their design should encourage pedestrian and bicycle use by being spatially defined by buildings, trees, and lighting; and by discouraging high speed traffic.
I. Wherever possible, the natural terrain, drainage and vegetation of the area shall be preserved with superior examples contained within parks or greenbelts.
J. The Village Center shall be designed to encourage and accommodate linkage with the regional transit system.
FLU8.2.1 Land use changes shall be required to be compatible with the existing development and
development trend in the area. Performance restrictions and/or conditions may be placed on property through the appropriate development order to ensure compatibility. No restrictions or conditions shall be placed on a Future Land Use Map change.
FLU8.2.2 Continuous stretches of similar housing types and density of units shall be avoided. A
diverse mix of uses and housing types shall be promoted.

FLU8.2.11 Compatibility may not necessarily be determined to be a land use that is identical to
those uses that surround it. Other factors may be considered, such as the design attributes of the project, its urban form, the physical integration of a project and its function in the broader community, as well its contribution toward the Goals and Objectives in the CP. The CP shall specifically allow for such a balance of considerations to occur.

NOTE: The proposed recommendation of Transmittal of Amendment 2015‐2‐A‐1‐4 is subject to adoption of staff‐initiated text Amendment 2015‐1‐B‐FLUE‐4 to the Future Land Use Element. The proposed Amendment 2015‐1‐B‐FLUE‐4 establishes a Reams Road Corridor Study Area (proposed new Future Land Use Policy FLU4.5.4.1) in Lakeside Village in order to achieve the mix of residential uses and to provide a residential transition zone within the largest greenbelt system in Horizon West. The proposed Future Land Use Element Policy FLU4.5.4.1 defines appropriate densities within the Study Area. The proposed staff‐initiated text Amendment 2015‐1‐B‐FLUE‐4 is scheduled for the Board of County Commissioners adoption public hearing on July 28, 2015. Amendment 2015‐1‐B‐FLUE‐4 was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on July 28, 2015.
Analysis
1. Background Development Program
At the July 28, 2015 Board of County Commissioners Transmittal Public Hearing, the Board voted to transmit only the northern portion of the request. Thus, the original request to convert two large swaths of Greenbelt (GB) to Estate District (ED) has been modified to only include the northern tract of existing GB, as shown on the Future Land Use – As Proposed map. The southern portion will remain Greenbelt (GB) and the proposed cross‐wetland connection between the two areas will remain Wetland/Conservation (CONS). The proposed development program of up to 75 single‐family dwelling units will remain unchanged.
The applicant has requested to change the Lakeside Village Specific Area Plan (SAP) designation on the subject site from Greenbelt (GB) and Wetland/Conservation (CONS) to Estate District (ED) and Wetland/Conservation (CONS). The subject site consists of one parcel totaling 306.8 gross acres, of which approximately 70.8 acres are developable. The subject properties are part of the Lake Reams Neighborhood of the Lakeside Village.
The subject site is located on the east side of Ficquette Road, south and west of Winter Garden Vineland Road and north of Center Drive. It is surrounded by vacant lands on the north side; Oasis Cove townhome development (vested development), vacant residential lots, and several single‐family homes on the west side; an existing Church of Jesus Christ of Latter‐Day Saints (vested development) and Lakes of Windermere – Peachtree subdivision consisting of single‐family homes on the south side; and HOA properties/Lake Sawyer subdivision on the east side. Most properties surrounding the subject site are currently designated as Greenbelt (GB), Wetland/Conservation (CONS), Estate District (ED) and Vested Developments (church and Oasis Cove townhomes) on the Lakeside Village SAP. The property across the street, on the west side of Reams Road (consisting of two parcels) have recently obtained the Estate District (ED) designation on the upland portions of both lots (Case #2014‐1‐A‐1‐2). The property directly to the south of those two parcels (consisting of four parcels) is currently in the process of obtaining the Village Home District (VHD) designation on its upland portion (Case #2015‐1‐A‐1‐1). Figure 1 below shows existing SAP designations on the

Project Community Meetings. Two community meetings were held for this project. During the first community meeting, which took place on May 11, 2015, the applicant, Jim Hall, presented his initial request for the Village Home District (VHD) SAP designation to allow for development of up to 284 single‐family dwelling units on approximately 70 acres of uplands. Residents in attendance voiced numerous concerns related to potential development of wetlands, environmental conditions on the property, presence of wildlife habitat, preservation of wildlife corridors, improved access from the surrounding neighborhoods, the proposed development intensity on lands currently designated as Greenbelt (GB) and Wetland/Conservation (CONS), and effect of the proposed development on the nearby properties. The applicant, Jim Hall, clarified that the proposed development will only occur on the upland portions of the property, and the wetlands will not be affected. He also displayed a map identifying the uplands and indicated that uplands account for less than a quarter of the total acreage, or about 70 acres. Mr. Hall added that additional environmental testing is being done on the property and indicated that the application will be adjusted based on the comments received from the community.
At the second community meeting that took place on June 4, 2015 the applicant, Mr. Hall, revealed an updated development program for the subject site. The applicant explained that the originally proposed development program for the site was significantly reduced to address concerns related to the amount of the proposed development, its impacts on the wetland systems present on site, preservation of wildlife habitat, and potential impacts on the surrounding residential developments.
Orange County Planning Division DEO Transmittal Staff Report Janna Souvorova, Project Planner Amendment 2015‐2‐A‐1‐4
July 28, 2015 Commission District 1 Page | 16
The portion of the site’s upland proposed to be developed was reduced from 70.8 acres to 41.5 acres, and the proposed number of units was reduced from 284 to 75 single‐family residential units, which will result in preservation of the majority of the subject site, or about 87%, that will not be developed. Additionally, Mr. Hall noted that the proposed access to this development will be from Reams Road.
To summarize, the applicant is now requesting the SAP designation of Estate District (ED), which has the associated density of 2 DU/acre and will allow for development of 75 single‐family homes. The existing and proposed land use designations are depicted in Figure 2.
Figure 2. Subject Site – Existing and Proposed Land Uses
Existing SAP Designations Proposed SAP Designations
The majority of the subject property is part of Lake Reams Neighborhood Planned Development (PD). On the PD Land Use Plan (LUP), the site is designated as wetlands, Upland Greenbelt, and Adequate Public Facilities/ROW. In accordance with Policies FLU4.5.3 and FLU4.5.4 that provide standards for use of Transfer of Development Rights (TDRs) on properties designated as Greenbelts (GB) and Wetland/Conservation (CONS), Lake Reams Neighborhood PD assigns TDR credits to the subject property is follows:
Lake Reams Neighborhood PD
Parcel No. Assigned TDR Credits
Parcel 22 46 credits
Parcel 23 255 credits
Parcel 24 7 credits
Parcel 28 91 credits
Wetland 72.3 credits
Should this FLUM amendment be adopted, the LUP Amendment to Lake Reams Neighborhood PD will be required in order to add the remainder of the parcel (~3.5 acres) that currently has R‐CE‐2
Orange County Planning Division DEO Transmittal Staff Report Janna Souvorova, Project Planner Amendment 2015‐2‐A‐1‐4

(Rural Residential District) zoning to the existing PD; amend the PD development program; and adjust the TDR use table.
2. Project Analysis
Consistency The requested Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment appears to be consistent with the applicable Comprehensive Plan goals, objectives, and policies, which are specifically discussed in the paragraphs below.
The Horizon West special planning area is based on a number of best planning principles, which include, but are not limited to, diversity of housing types and preservation of Village edges through creation of greenbelts along perimeters of each of the five Villages and the Town Center. The paragraphs below describe how the proposed amendment meets these founding principles of Horizon West.
Horizon West Principles. Future Land Use Element Policy FLU4.1.1 lists a requirement for a diversity of housing types among general village principles while Policy FLU4.1.5 states that the development of a variety of lot sizes and housing types is encouraged within Village neighborhoods, with generally higher densities located in proximity to the village center and neighborhood center. The proposed amendment adds single‐family homes at the density of two dwelling units per acre (2 DU/acre), which is similar to densities associated with Lakes of Windermere subdivision located directly south of the subject site, next to an existing townhome development (Oasis Cove). The properties across the street from the subject site also recently obtained Estate District (ED) SAP designation (case #2014‐1‐A‐1‐2), while other four properties along Reams Road are undergoing a FLUM Amendment process to get the SAP designation of Village Home District (VHD).
Another planning concept essential to implementation of the Horizon West vision is preservation of greenbelts to create Village edges. Future Land Use Element Policies FLU4.1.1, FLU4.5.1, and FLU4.5.6 outline general greenbelt requirements, such as their function and width, as well as greenbelt requirements specific to Lakeside Village. More specifically, the policies state that each village shall have a well‐defined edge (greenbelts or wildlife corridors) permanently protected from development; greenbelts must meet minimum and average width standards, which are set at 300 feet and 500 feet, respectively; and, in Lakeside Village, greenbelt shall be provided by utilizing the environmental systems connecting Lake Speer with the ecosystems within Reedy Creek Improvement District on the west and south. Greenbelt requirements listed in the above‐cited policies were made to discourage sprawl by creating a definable Village and to provide a permanent undeveloped edge.
The Greenbelt system that the subject property is part of is the largest in Horizon West, ranging in width between 3,000 feet along Ficquette Road, which is the village boundary between the Village of Bridgewater and the Lakeside Village, and more than 6,500 feet at its widest point. The Greenbelt buffer provided along Reams Road far exceeds the minimum and average width standards set forth by the Future Land Use Element Policy FLU4.5.1, and the existing Greenbelt (GB) designation of the subject properties, while meeting the intent of Future Land Use Element Policies FLU4.1.1 and FLU4.5.6, exceeds the Village greenbelt requirements set in Policy FLU4.5.1. It should be noted that during the 2nd community meeting the applicant stated that the majority of the subject site will be preserved (~87%), with only 41.5 acres out of 306.8 total acres proposed to be developed at the density of 2 DU/acre. The applicant has also suggested that, at the time of development, the existing
Orange County Planning Division DEO Transmittal Staff Report Janna Souvorova, Project Planner Amendment 2015‐2‐A‐1‐4
July 28, 2015 Commission District 1 Page | 18
wetlands on the property could potentially be enhanced to create a better overall ecosystem on site.
Reams Road Corridor Study Area. In 2013, the Small Area Study that resulted in the staff‐initiated amendment establishing the Reams Road Corridor Study Area was conducted. The Study aimed at determining the feasibility of changing the Lakeside Village SAP designation from Upland Greenbelt (GB) to some of the residential SAP designations established by Comprehensive Plan policies related to Horizon West. The Study included 28 properties totaling 749 acres located along Reams Road, of which approximately less than 200 acres were designated as Greenbelts (GB) at that time. Together, the properties included in the study area represented the largest and widest greenbelt system in Horizon West. The Small Area Study indicated that most of the properties in the Lake Reams Neighborhood of the Lakeside Village have already been developed or approved for development, and, as approved, the Lake Reams Neighborhood falls short of the planned maximum number of units. The study concluded that the proposed conversion of properties included in the Small Area Study from the existing Greenbelt (GB) designation to a residential designation will contribute to increasing densities within the Lakeside Village to better meet planned maximums. It will also more accurately reflect recent changes in the surrounding area and its transition to more urban and dense uses.
As a result of that study, staff initiated a map and text amendment (Case #2015‐1‐B‐FLUE‐4 scheduled for the BCC adoption hearing on July 28, 2015) that establishes the Reams Road Corridor Study Area (proposed new Future Land Use Policy FLU4.5.4.1) in Lakeside Village in order to achieve the mix of residential uses and to provide a residential transition zone within the largest greenbelt system in Horizon West. The proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements for Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Amendments within the Reams Road Corridor Study Area that are being established in the proposed Policy FLU4.5.4.1. First, the subject site is located within the Corridor Study Area, and it is the largest parcel that is part of the Study Area. Second, the proposal is for a residential land use on a portion of the subject site that is currently designated as Upland Greenbelt (GB) on the Lakeside Village SAP. Finally, the maximum residential density associated with the requested Estate District (ED) designation is two dwelling units per acre (2 DU/ac), which is well below the maximum residential density of 6 DU/acre considered to be appropriate within the Corridor Study Area.
To summarize, the proposed amendment appears to be consistent with founding principles of Horizon West and ensures that the intent of the newly proposed Future Land Use Element Policy FLU4.5.4.1, which provides a residential transition zone within the largest greenbelt system in Horizon West while protecting the local environmental systems, is still being met.
Compatibility
The proposed Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Amendment appears to be compatible with the development trends in the surrounding area. The Orange County Comprehensive Plan requires all FLUM Amendments to be compatible with existing neighborhoods and surrounding uses. More specifically, Future Land Use Element Policies FLU1.4.2 and FLU8.2.1 require land use changes to be compatible with the existing character and evolving development trends in the area. The subject property is surrounded by vacant residential parcels, several estate homes, Oasis Cove townhome development and an existing church (both are vested developments), and two subdivisions – one, Lakes of Windermere subdivision, located directly to the south of the subject site, and another – Lake Sawyer subdivision, located east of the
Orange County Planning Division DEO Transmittal Staff Report Janna Souvorova, Project Planner Amendment 2015‐2‐A‐1‐4
July 28, 2015 Commission District 1 Page | 19
subject site and separated from it by an existing wetland. The existing and proposed SAP designations of the surrounding properties are Estate District (ED), Vested Development, Village Home District (VHD), Greenbelt (GB), and Wetland/Conservation (CONS). The proposed amendment would result in development of up to 75 single‐family dwelling units, which is compatible with housing types already in existence in the immediate vicinity of the subject site.
In accordance with Future Land Use Policy FLU8.2.11, which states that compatibility may also be determined by the design attributes of a project and its urban form, the proposed request for Estate District (ED) designation would have to comply with site development standards established in Section 38‐1385 of the Orange County Land Development Code. These standards establish, among other requirements, residential density of two dwelling units per acre (2 DU/acre) and a minimum average lot size of 10,000 square feet that are compatible with larger lot residential estate homes currently in existence nearby. Therefore, the size and character of the proposed residential development associated with this request will be compatible with the surrounding uses. In addition, in accordance with the newly proposed Policy FLU4.5.4.1, the future development on the subject site will have to meet a requirement for provision of cross‐access to adjacent developments and connectivity of recreational facilities, which will further its compatibility with the surrounding neighborhoods by allowing for a cohesive development approach, and it might also help address issues of access to the surrounding existing communities that was brought up during the community meetings for the project.
Public Facilities and Services Environmental. The developable area of the subject property is limited by the presence of extensivewetlands. The property was included in the Conservation Area Determination (CAD 98‐045), andsubsequent modifications, completed for the Lake Reams Neighborhood Planned Development (PD).Approval of this request does not authorize any direct or indirect impacts to conservation areas orprotective buffers.
Until wetland permitting is complete, the developable acreage is the gross acreage less wetlandsand surface waters. Any plan showing development in a wetland area without Orange County andother jurisdictional governmental agency wetland permits is speculative and may not be approved.
The removal, alteration or encroachment within a Class I Conservation Area shall only be allowed incases where: no other feasible or practical alternatives exist, impacts are unavoidable to allow areasonable use of the land, or where there is an overriding public benefit, as determined before theOrange County Board of County Commissioners.
Development of the subject property shall comply with all state and federal regulations regardingwildlife or plants listed as endangered, threatened, or species of special concern. The applicant isresponsible to determine the presence of listed species and obtain any required habitat permitsfrom the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and/or the Florida Fish & Wildlife ConservationCommission (FWC).
Transportation. The proposed use (analysis is based on the previously submitted development program of 140 single family dwelling units; this program has since been reduced) will generate 142 pm peak hour trips resulting in a net increase of 127 pm peak hour trips. The proposed use of 75 single‐family homes will generate 81 pm peak hour trips resulting in a net increase of 64 pm peak hour trips. Analysis of existing pm peak hour conditions indicates that all roadway segments within the project impact area currently operate at an acceptable level of service except Winter Garden‐
Orange County Planning Division DEO Transmittal Staff Report Janna Souvorova, Project Planner Amendment 2015‐2‐A‐1‐4
July 28, 2015 Commission District 1 Page | 20
Vineland Road from Tilden Road to Ficquette Road Ficquette Road from Reams Road to Winter Garden‐Vineland Road and Reams Road from Lake Hancock Road to Cast Drive.
The short term or year 2020 analysis was based on daily conditions. The analysis needs to be revised to reflect PM peak conditions based on reasonable annual growth rates. A minimal 1% growth rate was applied to project future traffic conditions, which is not acceptable since the traffic growth on the adjacent study roadways show annual growths of 6.33% and 9.27%. At a minimum, the growth rate should be consistent among the adjacent roadways. In addition, the trip distribution needs to be verified on the roadway segment between the north property boundary and the northbound segment of Ficquette Road.
The long term or year 2040 analysis also needs to be updated to include pm peak hour conditions. In addition, where the 2040 model traffic volumes are less than existing traffic volumes, a projection based on historical growth patterns should be used. Table 6 in the report needs to be revised.
Overall, the transportation facilities analysis has not demonstrated that the propose land use change will not significantly impact the transportation network within the project impact area. A revised study is required.
The short term or year 2020 roadway volumes were projected using historical growth rates based on data obtained from Orange County’s traffic database. Analysis of the projected traffic on the area’s transportation network indicates that the segments of Reams Road and Ficquette Road will continue to operate below the adopted level of service with and without the proposed amendment
Analysis of long term or year 2030 conditions which included all planned roadway improvements within the project impact area indicated that all roadways segments are projected to operate within the adopted level of service standard.
The planned roadway inmprovements within the impact area of the proposed amendment include the following:
Ficquette Road – Ficquette Road from Overstreet Road to Winter Garden‐Vineland Road. This roadway is planned to be widened from 2 to 4 lanes. Construction is scheduled to be completed July 2016.
Reams Road from Old Reams Road to Lake Hancock Road. This roadway is planned to be widened to 4 lanes. This is a planned partnership project, and it is included in the County’s 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan.
Seidel Road – Planned roadway improvement to widen to 4 lanes from Avalon Road to Summerlake Boulevard. This is a planned partnership project, and it is included in the County’s 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan.
It should be noted that, per the 2005 Reams Road Study, right‐of‐way is required from this project for the future widening of Reams Road. The applicant will be required to coordinate with the County’s Road Agreement Committee regarding the donation of right‐of‐way. A road agreement detailing the terms and conditions of the right‐of‐way donation for the widening of Reams Road will be required.
Final permitting on the subject site will be subject to further review and approval from the County’s Development Review Committee (DRC), as well as an assessment of roadway capacity constraints based on the Transportation Concurrency Management System. The applicant will be required to mitigate any deficiencies that may occur from the proposed development.

Schools. The applicant must obtain an executed Concurrency Enhancement Agreement (CEA) prior to the final approval of the proposed amendment. The CEA application (Reference #OC‐15‐005) has been submitted to the Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) for review.
3. Policy References
FLU1.4.2 Orange County shall ensure that land use changes are compatible with and serve existing neighborhoods.
FLU4.1.1 General Village Principles. Each Village Specific Area Plan (SAP) shall be designed based on an
urban development pattern, which encourages the formation of a suburban village while ensuring the provision of adequate public facilities and services concurrent with development and protection of environmental quality.
A. Planning for the Village shall be in the form of complete and integrated neighborhoods containing housing, shops, workplaces, schools, parks and civic facilities essential to the daily life of the Village residents.
B. Village size shall be designed so that housing is generally within a 1.2 mile radius of the Village Center (shops, services and other activities). This radius may be relaxed where natural or community facilities and services interrupt the design.
C. A Village shall contain a diversity of housing types to enable citizens from a wide range of economic levels and age groups to live within its boundaries.
D. Wherever possible, as many activities as possible shall be located within an easy walking distance of an existing or designated transit stop.
E. The Village and each neighborhood shall have a center focus that combines commercial, civic, cultural and recreational uses. Higher density residential development should be encouraged in proximity to these centers, with the highest density/attached housing encouraged in proximity to the Village Center.
F. The Village shall contain an ample supply of specialized open space in the form of squares, greens and parks whose frequent use is encouraged through placement and design.
G. Each Village shall have a well‐defined edge, such as greenbelts or wildlife corridors permanently protected from development.
H. Local and collector streets, pedestrian paths and bike paths shall contribute to a system of fully connected and interesting routes from individual neighborhoods to the Village Center and to other villages. Their design should encourage pedestrian and bicycle use by being spatially defined by buildings, trees, and lighting; and by discouraging high speed traffic.
I. Wherever possible, the natural terrain, drainage and vegetation of the area shall be preserved with superior examples contained within parks or greenbelts.
J. The Village Center shall be designed to encourage and accommodate linkage with the regional transit system.
FLU4.1.5 Neighborhood Development. Residential neighborhoods shall offer neighborhood facilities
and services including passive and active recreation facilities, school sites, sidewalks and bikeways. Each neighborhood shall contain a Neighborhood Center as a central public focal point consisting of an elementary school site, a minimum five (5) acre park in conjunction with the elementary school and may include other public facilities such as churches or community center or neighborhood commercial uses as described in FLU4.1.6. The development of a
Orange County Planning Division DEO Transmittal Staff Report Janna Souvorova, Project Planner Amendment 2015‐2‐A‐1‐4
July 28, 2015 Commission District 1 Page | 22
variety of lot sizes and housing types is encouraged with generally higher densities located in proximity to the village center and neighborhood center (focal point). Public open space shall be provided within each neighborhood. Where physically possible, each neighborhood shall be designed so that most housing units are within a 1/2 mile radius of the Neighborhood Center.
FLU4.5.1 Village Greenbelts. In addition to requirements for formal parks and neighborhood greens,
greenbelts surrounding each Village and the Town Center averaging 500 feet in width shall be required at the perimeter of each Village. This greenbelt must be provided to discourage sprawl by creating a definable Village and provide a permanent undeveloped edge, except as set forth in FLU4.3.2, so that planning a Village within limited spaces takes on meaning. Topography and other physical features may allow this width to be reduced where visual separation can be accomplished with less distance. Where it may be beneficial to concentrate the acreage to enhance wildlife corridors, wetland connections, or preserve valuable uplands and protect sites critical for Floridian Aquifer protection the greenbelt may be concentrated in one section of the Village Perimeter. In no case shall the greenbelt separation between villages be less than 300 feet. Subject to subdivision regulations and conservation area protection requirements, access drives and bicycle/pedestrian paths may be allowed within the greenbelt/buffer to connect properties that would otherwise be denied reasonable access. Development standards for access drives and pedestrian/bicycle paths through greenbelt/buffer shall be addressed in the Village and Town Center Development Codes.
FLU4.5.4.1 Reams Road Corridor Study Area. In Lakeside Village, the Reams Road Corridor Study Area is
established in recognition of the changing character of properties fronting Reams Road, increased densities in the area, and the area’s proximity to a major employment center. The Corridor Study Area is limited to several properties located along Reams Road, which, combined, constitute the largest greenbelt system in the Horizon West Special Planning Area that separates Lakeside Village and Village of Bridgewater. The goal of establishing the Corridor Study Area is to achieve the mix of residential uses and desired minimum overall density of 5 DU/ac within the Village and to provide a residential transition zone within the largest greenbelt system while protecting the local environmental systems by connecting Lake Spear with the ecosystem within Reedy Creek Improvement District on the west and south. The general principles and procedures for acquiring a residential land use designation within the Corridor Study Area are as follows:
The Reams Road Corridor Study Area boundary shall be depicted on the Lakeside Village Specific Area Plan (SAP).
Uses on properties within the Corridor Study Area shall be limited to residential.
Residential uses within the Corridor Study Area shall be limited to areas currently designated as Greenbelt (GB) on the Lakeside Village SAP.
Requesting a residential land use district designation within the Corridor Study Area requires a Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Amendment to the County’s Comprehensive Plan.
The maximum residential density considered to be appropriate within the Corridor Study Area is 6 DU/ac. Additional density increases may be allowed, consistent with the provisions of the Transfer of Development Right (TDR) Ordinance.
At the time of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment, an applicant shall enter into an agreement with the County to provide the right‐of‐way necessary for the Reams Road widening project.
Orange County Planning Division DEO Transmittal Staff Report Janna Souvorova, Project Planner Amendment 2015‐2‐A‐1‐4
July 28, 2015 Commission District 1 Page | 23
Any future development within the Corridor Study Area shall provide cross‐access to adjacent developments, requirements for which shall be determined at the time of PD‐LUP approval. The County might also require connectivity of recreational facilities, including multi‐purpose trails, between the properties included in the Corridor Study Area and development north and south of the study area.
Development proposals that are inconsistent with this policy shall meet the standards of the adopted Future Land Use designation.
FLU4.5.6 Additional greenbelt requirements apply as follows:
Lakeside Village The Village greenbelt requirement for Lakeside Village shall be provided by utilizing the environmental systems connecting Lake Spear with the ecosystem within Reedy Creek Improvement District on the west and south. Village of Bridgewater The Village greenbelt for the Village of Bridgewater shall provide for the connection of the environmental systems connecting Lake Speer and Lake Hancock with the ecosystem within Lakeside Village, and Reedy Creek Improvement District. Golf courses shall be permitted to form a portion of the Village of Bridgewater greenbelt/buffer only where it can be demonstrated that such greenbelt/buffer does not contain environmentally sensitive uplands and where it is not providing connectivity of wetland/wildlife corridors. The golf course within the greenbelt/buffer shall not supplant any requirement to provide connectivity of wetland/wildlife corridors, or protection of environmentally significant uplands elsewhere within the Village. The golf course shall provide public open space as permanent Village edge. The golf course shall provide connectivity and access to other public open spaces within the Village. The golf course shall contribute to compactness of the Village, and not isolate residences from the Village or Neighborhood Centers. Village F The Village F greenbelt shall include the environmental systems connecting Saw Grass Lake and Reedy Lake and the wetlands between Lakeside Village, the Village of Bridgewater and the Reedy Creek Improvement District. Orange County National Golf Course shall be permitted to form a portion of the Village F greenbelt/buffer. Village I The Village I greenbelt shall include the environmental systems connecting Lake Oliver, Lake Gifford, Lake Dennis and Doe Lake and the wetlands between adjacent Horizon West Villages and the Reedy Creek Improvement District. The extensive wetlands, conservation areas and other designated greenbelt areas shall provide a well‐defined edge to Village I and shall be protected from the influence of urban development patterns. Town Center Town Center will develop at urban densities and intensities; therefore, upland greenbelt areas shall not be required as a buffer between SR 429 and development in Town Center.
Orange County Planning Division DEO Transmittal Staff Report Janna Souvorova, Project Planner Amendment 2015‐2‐A‐1‐4
July 28, 2015 Commission District 1 Page | 24
The Upland Greenbelt requirement between the Village of Bridgewater and Town Center Specific Area Plans (SAP’s) may be accomplished as depicted on the adopted Recommended Future Land Use Plan (RFLUP) for both SAP’s or by alternative location within the Village of Bridgewater as may be approved by the Board of County Commissioners through a privately initiated map amendment. The portion of the existing Urban Greenbelt for which an alternative may be proposed shall be limited to adjacency with Parcels CCMU‐1 and CCMU‐3 depicted on the Town Center RFLUP. An alternative location of the Upland Greenbelt shall: a) be consistent with the requirements of FLU4.5.1; b) provide a similar degree of physical separation between the Village of Bridgewater and
Town Center SAP’s as provided through the existing Urban Greenbelt designation; c) include upland areas; d) be fully capable of accommodating any planned trail or pedestrian/bicycle facility
intended for inclusion within the Upland Greenbelt; and e) be planned to minimize impacts to adjoining property owners that may be associated
with any type of public facilities or private development located within the Urban Greenbelt.
FLU8.2.1 Land use changes shall be required to be compatible with the existing development and
development trend in the area. Performance restrictions and/or conditions may be placed on property through the appropriate development order to ensure compatibility. No restrictions or conditions shall be placed on a Future Land Use Map change.
FLU8.2.11 Compatibility may not necessarily be determined to be a land use that is identical to those uses that surround it. Other factors may be considered, such as the design attributes of the project, its urban form, the physical integration of a project and its function in the broader community, as well its contribution toward the Goals and Objectives in the CP. The CP shall specifically allow for such a balance of considerations to occur.

Staff Recommendation
Make a finding of consistency with the Comprehensive Plan (see Future Land Use Policies FLU4.1.1, FLU4.5.1, and FLU4.5.6), determine that the amendment is in compliance, and TRANSMIT Amendment 2015‐2‐A‐1‐7 (fka 2015‐1‐S‐1‐1), Horizon West, Town Center Specific Area Plan (SAP) – Greenbelt (GB), and Bridgewater Village Specific Area Plan (SAP) – Townhome/Apartment District (THD), Wetland/Conservation (CONS), and Greenbelt (GB) to Horizon West, Town Center Specific Area Plan (SAP) – Corporate Campus Mixed Use (CCM‐3), Wetland/Conservation (CONS), and Greenbelt (GB).
Analysis
1. Background Development Program
The subject site is located within the Horizon West sector plan boundary, and it is composed of four parcels (one parcel in its entirety and portions of the additional three parcels) split between two Villages – Village of Bridgewater and Town Center. The applicant has requested to change the Specific Area Plan (SAP) designations on the 9.99‐acre site located in Horizon West from Town Center Specific Area Plan (SAP) – Greenbelt (GB), and Village of Bridgewater Specific Area Plan (SAP) – Townhome/Apartment District (THD), Wetland/Conservation (CONS), and Greenbelt (GB) to Town Center Specific Area Plan (SAP) – Corporate Campus Mixed Use (CCM‐3), Wetland/Conservation (CONS), and Greenbelt (GB). As a result of this request, the Town Center SAP boundary will be moved to the east to incorporate all of the properties subject to this amendment.
The property is currently part of two Planned Developments (PDs) – Hamlin PD located in Town Center SAP and Avalon Woods 1 PD, located in Village of Bridgewater SAP (If this amendment is approved, both PDs would have to be amended). The current SAP designations allow for development of twenty‐six (26) townhomes on the portion located within the Village of Bridgewater SAP, and three (3) single‐family dwelling units on the portions of the site designated as Upland Greenbelt. The proposed amendment does not add any additional entitlements, but rather seeks to spread the approved development program for Corporate Campus Mixed Use (CCM‐3), consisting of fifty (50) residential dwelling units and 92,700 sq. ft. of non‐residential uses, over a larger area.
The subject site is located east of SR 429 and south of New Independence Parkway, and is surrounded by orange groves on the north and west, and water features, stormwater retention, vacant residential, and non‐agricultural acreage on the south and east.
2. Project Analysis
Consistency The requested FLUM amendment appears to be consistent with the applicable Comprehensive Plan goals, objectives, and policies, which are specifically discussed in the paragraphs below.
The Horizon West development is composed of five Villages and a Town Center, which are based on a number of key principles, including planning in a form of complete and integrated neighborhoods, diversity of housing types, preservation of open space and natural vegetation of the area, and creation of well‐defined village edges. Future Land Use Element Policy FLU4.1.1 outlines general village principles and states that each Village shall have a well‐defined edge, which can be accomplished through greenbelts and permanently protected wildlife corridors.
Policies FLU4.5.1 and FLU4.5.6 provide both general and village‐specific Greenbelt requirements. In particular, Policy FLU4.5.1 states that greenbelts should average 500 feet in width, and in no case
Orange County Planning Division DEO Transmittal Staff Report Janna Souvorova, AICP, Project Planner Amendment 2015‐2‐A‐1‐7 (fka 2015‐1‐S‐1‐1)
July 28, 2015 Commission District 1 Page | 31
shall the greenbelt separation between villages be less than 300 feet. The existing greenbelt that is part of the proposed amendment separates the Village of Bridgewater and Town Center and measures approximately 150 feet in width, which does not meet the requirements of the Future Land Use Element Policy FLU4.5.1. In fact, it appears that the large wetland system that runs west of the Signature Lakes Subdivision and east of the approved Avalon Woods 1 PD (located within the Village of Bridgewater) also serves as a buffer between the Village of Bridgewater and the Town Center,with properties within the subdivision developing as attached and detached single‐family homes, while properties to the west of the wetland system are approved residential development similar in character to Town Center. Properties located to the east and north of the subject site are approved for 364 apartment units and twenty‐six (26) townhomes. Therefore, the wetland system effectively serves as a well‐defined edge between the lower densities associated with the Village of Bridgewater and higher densities and intensities envisioned for the Town Center. Figures 1 and 2 below show the location of the described wetland system.
Figure 1. Existing Wetland System – Aerial
Figure 2. Existing Wetland System – SAP Designations
Furthermore, Future Land Use Element Policy FLU4.5.6 states that the Greenbelt requirement between the Village of Bridgewater and Town Center may be accomplished by alternative location within the Village of Bridgewater, as opposed to the location depicted on the respective SAPs,
Orange County Planning Division DEO Transmittal Staff Report Janna Souvorova, AICP, Project Planner Amendment 2015‐2‐A‐1‐7 (fka 2015‐1‐S‐1‐1)
July 28, 2015 Commission District 1 Page | 32
provided the alternative location is approved by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) through a privately‐initiated map amendment. Policy FLU4.5.6 furtherstates that the proposals for alternative Greenbelt locations are limited to parcels adjacent to parcels CCM‐1 and CCM‐3, as depicted on the Town Center SAP. The proposed amendment meets this requirement for alternative Greenbelt location, as the subject site is adjacent to the Corporate Campus Mixed Use (CCM‐3) parcel on its east side. Policy FLU4.5.6 goes on to outline criteria for alternative Greenbelt location, including provision of a similar degree of physical separation between the Village of Bridgewater and Town Center, minimizing impacts to adjacent property owners, and inclusion of upland areas, among others.
If the proposed amendment is approved, the large wetland system, which measures approximately 365 feet in width, will serve as a well‐defined edge between the Village of Bridgewater and Town Center. The applicant has agreed to provide a 20‐foot Greenbelt buffer that, combined with of 110‐foot right‐of‐way of New Independence Parkway, will serve as a separator between the Village of Bridgewater and Town Center to the north of the subject site. The applicant indicated his intent to potentially include the remainder of the Avalon Woods 1 PD (currently approved for multi‐family units) into the Town Center SAP at a later date, which will further highlight the fact that the large wetland system, rather than small pieces of Greenbelt‐designated areas, defines the edge of the Village of Bridgewater.
In summary, the proposed amendment meets the intent of the policies outlining requirements for Upland Greenbelts in Horizon West Villages and provides for the logical extension of mixed use development associated with Corporate Campus Mixed Use designation of the Town Center SAP onto the adjacent properties, while still maintaining the separation between the Village of Bridgewater and Town Center with a well‐defined edge.
Compatibility
The subject site is adjacent to Lake Hancock on the south side and a large wetland system, which will serve as a buffer between the Village of Bridgewater and Town Center, on the east side. The properties located to the west of the subject site are designated as Corporate Campus Mixed Use (CCM‐3) on the Town Center SAP, and the proposed amendment seeks to expand this designation to the subject properties without increasing the current entitlements for the CCM‐3 parcel. The properties to the north are part of the Avalon Woods 1 PD, and currently approved for 364 multi‐family dwelling units. The Corporate Campus Mixed Use designation allows for development of townhomes, apartments, and condominiums, as well as office development that is visually compatible with residential development (Sec. 38‐1390.56 of the Orange County Code). Therefore, the proposed development on the subject site is compatible with approved development on the adjacent properties.
Public Facilities and Services Environmental. The subject site is located within the Avalon Woods 1 and Hamlin Planned Developments (PDs). Orange County Conservation Area Determinations (CAD 11‐020 and CAD‐11‐08‐036) were completed that included the properties located within these PDs.
No construction, clearing, filling, alteration or grading is allowed within or immediately adjacent to a conservation area without first obtaining permission from the Orange County Environmental Protection Division.
Development of the subject property shall comply with all state and federal regulations regarding endangered, threatened, or species of special concern. The applicant is responsible for determining
Orange County Planning Division DEO Transmittal Staff Report Janna Souvorova, AICP, Project Planner Amendment 2015‐2‐A‐1‐7 (fka 2015‐1‐S‐1‐1)
July 28, 2015 Commission District 1 Page | 33
the presence of listed species and obtaining any required habitat permits from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and/or the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission.
Transportation. The proposed amendment will result in a net reduction of 24 pm peak hour trips. Based on the Level of Service information from the County’s Concurrency Management System database dated 03/11/2015, there are no failing roadway segments within the project impact area, and capacity is available to be encumbered. The planned roadway improvements in the vicinity of the subject site include widening of Porter Road to four lanes from Hamlin Groves Trail to Avalon Road.
The properties are subject to several road agreements, including the Road Network Agreement for Town Center east, 1st Amendment to Town Center East Road Network Agreement, the Right‐of‐Way Conveyance Agreement between Orange County and Susan D. Shaw and David Daniels LLC, the Hamlin Groves Trail Northern Extension Term Sheet, and the Road Network Agreement for the Northerly Extension of Hamlin Groves Trail from New Independence Parkway to Tiny Road.
Prior to approval of any development, the applicant will be required to demonstrate that concurrency has been met and provide an Assignment of Vested Trips document with or prior to Development Plan submittal. In addition, the Development Plan must include a trip matrix showing allocations by parcel identification number and development phase.
3. Policy References
FLU4.1.1 General Village Principles. Each Village Specific Area Plan (SAP) shall be designed based on an urban development pattern, which encourages the formation of a suburban village while ensuring the provision of adequate public facilities and services concurrent with development and protection of environmental quality.
A. Planning for the Village shall be in the form of complete and integrated neighborhoods containing housing, shops, workplaces, schools, parks and civic facilities essential to the daily life of the Village residents.
B. Village size shall be designed so that housing is generally within a 1.2 mile radius of the Village Center (shops, services and other activities). This radius may be relaxed where natural or community facilities and services interrupt the design.
C. A Village shall contain a diversity of housing types to enable citizens from a wide range of economic levels and age groups to live within its boundaries.
D. Wherever possible, as many activities as possible shall be located within an easy walking distance of an existing or designated transit stop.
E. The Village and each neighborhood shall have a center focus that combines commercial, civic, cultural and recreational uses. Higher density residential development should be encouraged in proximity to these centers, with the highest density/attached housing encouraged in proximity to the Village Center.
F. The Village shall contain an ample supply of specialized open space in the form of squares, greens and parks whose frequent use is encouraged through placement and design.
G. Each Village shall have a well‐defined edge, such as greenbelts or wildlife corridors
Orange County Planning Division DEO Transmittal Staff Report Janna Souvorova, AICP, Project Planner Amendment 2015‐2‐A‐1‐7 (fka 2015‐1‐S‐1‐1)

permanently protected from development.
H. Local and collector streets, pedestrian paths and bike paths shall contribute to a system of fully connected and interesting routes from individual neighborhoods to the Village Center and to other villages. Their design should encourage pedestrian and bicycle use by being spatially defined by buildings, trees, and lighting; and by discouraging high‐speed traffic.
I. Wherever possible, the natural terrain, drainage and vegetation of the area shall be preserved with superior examples contained within parks or greenbelts.
J. The Village Center shall be designed to encourage and accommodate linkage with the regional transit system.
FLU4.5.1 Village Greenbelts. In addition to requirements for formal parks and neighborhood greens, greenbelts surrounding each Village and the Town Center averaging 500 feet in width shall be required at the perimeter of each Village. This greenbelt must be provided to discourage sprawl by creating a definable Village and provide a permanent undeveloped edge, except as set forth in FLU4.3.2, so that planning a Village within limited spaces takes on meaning. Topography and other physical features may allow this width to be reduced where visual separation can be accomplished with less distance. Where it may be beneficial to concentrate the acreage to enhance wildlife corridors, wetland connections, or preserve valuable uplands and protect sites critical for Floridan Aquifer protection, the greenbelt may be concentrated in one section of the Village Perimeter. In no case shall the greenbelt separation between villages be less than 300 feet. Subject to subdivision regulations and conservation area protection requirements, access drives and bicycle/pedestrian paths may be allowed within the greenbelt/buffer to connect properties that would otherwise be denied reasonable access. Development standards for access drives and pedestrian/bicycle paths through greenbelt/buffer shall be addressed in the Village and Town Center Development Codes.
FLU4.5.6 Additional greenbelt requirements apply as follows:
Lakeside Village The Village greenbelt requirement for Lakeside Village shall be provided by utilizing the environmental systems connecting Lake Spear with the ecosystem within Reedy Creek Improvement District on the west and south.
Village of Bridgewater The Village greenbelt for the Village of Bridgewater shall provide for the connection of the environmental systems connecting Lake Speer and Lake Hancock with the ecosystem within Lakeside Village, and Reedy Creek Improvement District.
Golf courses shall be permitted to form a portion of the Village of Bridgewater greenbelt/buffer only where it can be demonstrated that such greenbelt/buffer does not contain environmentally sensitive uplands and where it is not providing connectivity of wetland/wildlife corridors. The golf course within the greenbelt/buffer shall not supplant any requirement to provide connectivity of wetland/wildlife corridors, or protection of environmentally significant uplands elsewhere within the Village. The golf course shall provide public open space as permanent Village edge. The golf course shall provide connectivity and access to other public open spaces within the Village. The golf

course shall contribute to compactness of the Village, and not isolate residences from the Village or Neighborhood Centers.
Village F The Village F greenbelt shall include the environmental systems connecting Saw Grass Lake and Reedy Lake and the wetlands between Lakeside Village, the Village of Bridgewater and the Reedy Creek Improvement District.
Orange County National Golf Course shall be permitted to form a portion of the Village F greenbelt/buffer.
Village I The Village I greenbelt shall include the environmental systems connecting Lake Oliver, Lake Gifford, Lake Dennis and Doe Lake and the wetlands between adjacent Horizon West Villages and the Reedy Creek Improvement District. The extensive wetlands, conservation areas and other designated greenbelt areas shall provide a well‐defined edge to Village I and shall be protected from the influence of urban development patterns.
Town Center Town Center will develop at urban densities and intensities; therefore, upland greenbelt areas shall not be required as a buffer between SR 429 and development in Town Center.
The Upland Greenbelt requirement between the Village of Bridgewater and Town Center Specific Area Plans (SAP’s) may be accomplished as depicted on the adopted Recommended Future Land Use Plan (RFLUP) for both SAP’s or by alternative location within the Village of Bridgewater as may be approved by the Board of County Commissioners through a privately initiated map amendment. The portion of the existing Urban Greenbelt for which an alternative may be proposed shall be limited to adjacency with Parcels CCMU‐1 and CCMU‐3 depicted on the Town Center RFLUP. An alternative location of the Upland Greenbelt shall:
1. be consistent with the requirements of FLU4.5.1; 2. provide a similar degree of physical separation between the Village of Bridgewater
and Town Center SAP’s as provided through the existing Urban Greenbelt designation;
3. include upland areas; 4. be fully capable of accommodating any planned trail or pedestrian/bicycle facility
intended for inclusion within the Upland Greenbelt; and 5. be planned to minimize impacts to adjoining property owners that may be
associated with any type of public facilities or private development located within the Urban Greenbelt.

A. Background Horizon West, located in southwest Orange County, is the first sector plan in the State of Florida. Future Land Use Element Goal FLU4 and associated objectives and policies establish a framework for implementation of the Village concept that Horizon West is based on. All Horizon West policies are organized by topic‐specific objectives, with Objective OBJ FLU4.3 being focused on transportation.
The Community Planning Act (Laws of Florida Chapter 2011‐139) included changes to Section 163.3245, Florida Statutes (F.S.), relative to the requirements for sector plans. Objective FLU4.3 and Policies FLU4.3.10, 4.3.11, and 4.3.12 are being updated to reflect the legislative changes to Section 163.3245(3)(b), F.S., relative to the requirements for a Detailed Specific Area Plan. To summarize, the proposed policy changes update the transportation planning requirements for Village I to be consistent with those of the other villages within Horizon West. The proposed amendment also corrects scrivener errors for consistency with the original Stipulated Settlement Agreement between the County and the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity.
B. Policy Amendments
Following are the policy changes proposed by this amendment. The proposed policy changes are shown in underline/strikethrough format. Staff recommends transmittal of the amendment.
OBJ FLU4.3 TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM. Within each SAP, there shall be a balanced transportation system that offers, with equal priority, multiple transportation options. This will include local and regional transit options, bicycle and pedestrian ways, and both higher speed thoroughfares and lower speed local roads for automobiles.
FLU4.3.10 Village I. Consistent with Section 163.3245(3)(b)43. and 6., Florida Statutes (F.S.), prior to commencing development beyond Phase I per Table 7.5 of the Village I Specific Area Plan, Village I developers/owners will reassess the projected cumulative transportation impacts of Village I and demonstrate that any significant and adverse impacts, including impacts outside Orange County’s jurisdiction, will be mitigated to meet Rule 9J‐2, Florida Administrative Code, requirements. The SAP will be amended pursuant to Section 163.3184, F.S., to reflect any improvements needed consistent with Section 163.3245(3)(b)4., F.S. Development of Phase I consistent with Table 7.5 of the Village I Specific Area Plan, adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on June 10, 2008, may continue beyond through 2013 upon the effectiveness of the adopted amendment. Development beyond year 2015 in Phase I shall not commence without a Road Network Agreement and unless public facilities are demonstrated to be available or planned to be available in a financially feasible manner in Orange County’s Capital Improvements Element as these terms are defined in consistent with Sections 163.3164(24) and (32) 163.3245(3)(b)6. and Section 163.3164(38), Florida Statutes F.S.
FLU4.3.11 In order to account for extra‐jurisdictional transportation impacts, for development that otherwise would be subject to the provisions of Section 380.06, F.S., except for the exemption set forth in Section 163.3245, Florida Statutes F.S., the County may require, in all villages except Village H, in addition to the requirements of Future Land Use Element FLU4.1.8 IV 2.b., monitoring and modeling for transportation facilities impacted

by an SAP. In addition, future SAPs shall include as part of their comprehensive amendment a list of candidate roadways for such monitoring and modeling. The County may require mitigation based on the SAP or subsequent monitoring and modeling. Any required monitoring and modeling will be in addition to concurrency requirements otherwise required by the Orange County Code.
FLU4.3.12 Orange County shall coordinate with Osceola County regarding significant and adverse impacts to extra‐jurisdictional roadways related to development in Village I, which summarized in Table 7.5 of the Village I Specific Area Plan adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on June 10, 2008. Pursuant to Policy FLU4.3.101, a transportation analysis will be performed to identify these impacts within both Orange and Osceola cCounties. Osceola County will be provided a copy of the analysis by Orange County and will be given 30 days upon receipt to respond with comments. Upon determination by Orange County of the transportation impacts and mitigation for substantial impacts to regional roadways within both jurisdictions, consistent with Sections 163.3245(3)(b)34. and 5., F.S., Florida Statutes, Orange County shall amend the SAP to include the agreed‐upon mitigation including the identified improvements, timing of construction, and funding of such improvements. consistent with Rule 9J‐2, F.A.C.

Meeting Summary:
Mr. Thorp opened the meeting at 6:05 p.m. with introductions of the Planning staff, Commissioner Boyd, and the applicant, Dana Boyte of Dewberry, to the people in attendance. Mr. Thorp then proceeded with a review of the applicant’s request to change the Apartment District (APT) area on Parcel 45 in Horizon West Village H to Village Home District (VHD), while also explaining that the Wetland/Conservation area will not be modified with this request. Mr. Thorp explained what this meant in regards to the development of the property, and Ms. Boyte also included their intent of this request, as the applicant believed that the Apartment District was unfit for this parcel due to the property location.
Mr. Thorp explained the approval timeframe and noted that the transmittal hearings will be on June 18, 2015 for the Planning and Zoning Commission/Local Planning Agency and July 28, 2015 for the Board of County Commissioners. The adoption hearings were noted for October 15, 2015 for the Planning and Zoning Commission/Local Planning Agency and November 10, 2015 for the Board of County Commissioners. It was also stated by Ms. Boyte that the property will later come through with a rezoning and change to the approved land use plan, and it will run concurrently towards the end of the approval process for this property. Mr. Thorp explained that this property was part of the previously approved Springhill Planned Development and that is why the Land Use Plan will need to be changed to accommodate this request.
A question was asked whether or not there were wetlands on the property, and Mr. Thorp answered that yes, there were wetlands, and the Wetland/Conservation designation on the map will not be changing. Another question was asked regarding the number of units to be built on the property. Mr. Thorp responded that currently, with the allowable density, up to 285 dwelling units could be constructed; with the proposed change, the reduced density will allow for up to 85 dwelling units to be built. Ms. Boyte also recited the size of the parcel for clarification.
An additional question was posed regarding which elementary school will students go to and what the timeframe for development will be. Ms. Boyte responded with possibly Bridgewater and Commissioner Boyd responded with a review of all of the planned and proposed schools in the area. He also noted that Orange County Public Schools have the ultimate say in where students will be placed and suggested contacting them for further details. Mr. Thorp also noted that Village H, and specifically the Springhill PD, has an elementary school parcel on the map near the subject parcel and that there may be a school there, if and when the subject parcel is developed. Ms. Boyte also stated that there is no current timeframe for the development of this parcel, and the property owner is only doing entitlement work at this time.
The last question was asked regarding the inclusion of native versus non-native landscaping in development. Commissioner Boyd responded that there are no current regulations regarding the inclusion of native, “Florida Friendly” landscaping. Mr. Thorp aladded that the Planning Division is working with developers to encourage Florida Friendly landscaping in the development plans of Planned Developments.
Mr. Thorp closed the meeting with a review of the timeframe of the approval process of this amendment. No additional questions were asked.
The meeting adjourned at approximately 6:25 p.m. The overall tone of the meeting was NEUTRAL.

Diana Almodovar, with Orange County Development Engineering Division, introduced Commissioner Boyd, gave a brief overview of the proposal and explained the CP amendment process, including the schedule for the LPA and BCC public hearings. The applicant, Mr. Hall, then explained the proposal. Area residents had the following questions and comments: Residents in attendance voiced numerous concerns related to potential development of wetlands, environmental conditions on the property, presence of wildlife habitat, preservation of wildlife corridors, and the proposed development intensity on lands currently designation as Greenbelt and Wetland/Conservation. The applicant, Jim Hall, clarified that the proposed development will only occur on the upland (dry) portions of the property, and the wetlands will not be affected. He also displayed a map identifying the uplands and indicated that uplands account for less than a quarter of the total site, or about 70 acres. Questions were raised about soils conditions, potential flood issues, presence of a bold eagle nest on site, the timing of a built-out, improved access from surrounding neighborhoods, lack of supporting infrastructure (schools, roads), and how the nearby properties will be affected by the proposed development. Mr. Hall replied that timing has not yet been determined, and it is likely to become more clear after the transmittal (if this request is transmitted). One of the residents, who identified himself as an environmental expert, noted that there are more than 100 species of birds in the area (including bold eagle), black bears, and Florida panthers; additionally, water impacts of the proposed development could also be significant. He mentioned that a wildlife crossing sign was recently installed on Reams Road, near the subject site, and a crossing signal should also be put in to alert the drivers of this crossing. The applicant replied that additional environmental testing is being done on the property, and this application will be adjusted based on the comments received from the community.
As a result, Commissioner Boyd proposed a second community meeting to be held before the June 18 LPA transmittal public hearing to give the applicant time to bring additional information to the community. The meeting adjourned at approximately 8:00 PM. The overall response from the community was NEGATIVE. Meeting #2 Summary (June 4, 2015): The meeting began at 6:07 PM. Janna Souvorova, with Orange County Planning Division, introduced District 1 Commissioner Scott Boyd, his aide Diana Garcia, PZC Commissioner James Dunn, Orange County and OCPS staff, and the applicant. Ms. Souvorova gave a brief overview of the proposal and explained the CP amendment process, including the schedule for the LPA and BCC public hearings. She highlighted the reason for the second meeting, to address some of the residents’ concerns brought up during the 1st community meeting and to provide additional information prior to the first public hearing, June 18 with the LPA. Ms. Souvorova then introduced the applicant, Jim Hall. Mr. Hall summarized the proposal and explained that the originally proposed development
Page 3 of 4
program for the subject site was significantly reduced to address concerns related to the amount of the proposed development, its impacts on the wetland systems present on site, preservation of wildlife habitat, and potential impacts on the surrounding residential developments. He showed a map depicting upland areas that are proposed to be developed and comparing them to the original proposal. Mr. Hall stated the portion of the site’s upland proposed to be developed was reduced to ~41 acres (from 70.8 acres), and the proposed number of units was reduced from 284 to 75 single-family residential units. He also highlighted the fact that the majority of the subject site – about 87%, will be preserved, and it will not be developed. Additionally, Mr. Hall noted that the proposed access to this development will be from Reams Road. Area residents had the following questions and comments: Residents inquired about potential future development of a wetland on site and if some assurances could be given that the rest of the property will not be developed later (such as designating it as a conservation easement). The applicant and John Geiger, with Orange County Environmental Protection Division, responded that wetlands could potentially be developed if proper permits are obtained; however; in many cases it is very expensive and cost-prohibitive. The proposed connection between two upland areas on site will go though a wetland and will require an approved permit. Mr. Hall also stated that, if the property is developed, wetlands could be enhanced to become an eco system that is more diverse than it is today. Mr. Geiger stated that a Conservation Area Determination application was received for the subject site, and it will delineate on-site wetlands. He also added that, in some cases, upland buffers might be required to preserve a function of a wetland. One of the attendees noted that the FL Audubon society submitted a public record against the proposed request. Another set of questions related to transportation issues including an overall traffic situation on Reams Road, lack of sidewalks, safety and access issues, and timing of potential improvements. Renzo Nastasi, with Transportation Planning Division, stated that a number of transportation studies were done for the area, which identified potential future public/private partnership improvements. He also mentioned that portions of Reams Road are scheduled to be 4-laned, and addition intersection improvements are planned. Comm. Boyd added that, as new developments are being approved in the area, they are required to provide sidewalks and connections to the surrounding developments; however, there are still many missing links. Additional Comments/Questions:
• Will a stormwater pond be located on uplands? Applicant replied yes, there will be wet stormwater ponds.
• What is the nature of the proposed development? Need more details on what the applicant is trying to do.
• The Horizon West master plan is too old and does not reflect the reality. • Where would the kids go to school? OCPS staff replied – New Independence
Elementary School (opening in August 2015). • Can the County condemn a ROW for the public safety purposes? Staff replied that in
Horizon West ROW cost is capped at $22.5K; when condemned, this cost can drastically increase.
• As approvals are granted for properties along Reams Road, there have not been any roadway improvements. Why not plan for the roads first, before giving approvals for more residential units? Comm. Boyd replied that the County is currently studying

District: 1 Area: 67.10 gross acres EPD Comments: This property was previously reviewed for Comprehensive Plan Amendment #2008-1-A-1-3 and for the Crosland Land Use Plan (DRC #5037241). There are wetlands and surface waters located onsite, including a portion of Hickory Nut Lake. Orange County Conservation Area Determination CAD 07-056 was completed in 2007 that delineated the wetlands on site, but this determination expired in 2012. A new CAD application will need to be completed prior to requesting any Orange County permits or development approvals, consistent with Chapter 15, Article X Wetland Conservation Areas. Approval of this request does not authorize any direct or indirect impacts to conservation areas or protective buffers. The Normal High Water Elevation (NHWE) of Hickory Nut Lake was established at 101.5 feet NGVD 29 in the Lake Index of Orange County. Clearly label and indicate the NHWE of the lake on all development plans or permit applications, in addition to any wetland and setback lines. Until wetland permitting is complete, the developable acreage is the gross acreage less the wetlands and surface waters. Any plan showing development in a wetland area without Orange County and other jurisdictional governmental agency wetland permits is speculative and may not be approved. The removal, alteration or encroachment within a Class I Conservation Area shall only be allowed in cases where: no other feasible or practical alternatives exist, impacts are unavoidable to allow a reasonable use of the land, or where there is an overriding public benefit, as determined before the Orange County Board of County Commissioners. Development of the subject property shall comply with all state and federal regulations regarding wildlife or plants listed as endangered, threatened, or species of special concern. The applicant is responsible to determine the presence of listed species and obtain any required habitat permits from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and/or the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). This site may be suitable habitat for the sand skink and blue-tailed mole skink. Note that skink surveys are conducted annually during a specific time period between

Developer’s Agreement - This site shall comply with the "Agreement Concerning Development of Cloyd Landfill" as approved by the Orange County Board of County Commissioners on June 10, 2008. Orange County Legal will determine if this document is still valid and in effect considering this proposed change determination to the previously approved plan. Susceptible populations - At this time EPD does not support any residential use (see exception below but no single family residential due to potential for ground disturbance), or any other uses that may be perceived as having the potential to increase the future risks to susceptible populations such as children, the elderly, or the infirmed on top of former landfills and waste disposal areas. This reflects a belief that the level of engineering controls that would be required to address those concerns, possibly including removal of all of the waste in a controlled manner, would be cost-prohibitive. However, if any owner/developer determines that it is financially feasible, following due diligence including consideration of: site geophysical challenges, potential of uneven settlement, development of a excavation and disposal plan to be approved by the FDEP and agreed to by EPD, gas vapor barriers under the buildings, long term gas monitoring and groundwater monitoring to be determined in coordination with FDEP,

stormwater management (removal of waste or lined ponds), utility distribution systems and the unique structural design features necessitated by construction on former landfill areas, then development on former waste disposal sites will be considered through the County development review processes. Landfill Gas Emissions – The applicant is directed to note that in, "Guidance for Disturbance and Use of Old Closed Landfills or Waste Disposal Areas in Florida" published by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection there is specific mention of landfill gas concerns including but not limited to: 6.0 Construction Over Waste-Filled Areas, 6.1 Cautions for Construction, 6.1(a) The Department strongly discourages the construction of residential structures over old waste-filled areas (this is if landfill gases are currently present or caused by disturbance activities) and 6.1(b) construction projects should consider potential impacts from combustible gas inside structures unless designed against gas intrusion. Well Restriction - The covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) shall include notification to potential purchasers, builders, tenants and Property Owner Associations of this development that neither potable wells nor irrigation wells using local groundwater will be allowed on site. Dewatering - Prior to any dewatering activities occurring on site, the applicant shall provide the Orange County Environmental Protection Division copies of the St. John’s River Water Management District and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection approved dewatering plans. Fugitive Dust Emissions - Site development activity shall comply with State recommended Best Management Practices to protect soils during clearing, earthwork and construction. Fugitive dust emissions shall not be allowed from any activity including: vehicular movement, transportation of materials, construction, alteration, loading, unloading, storing or handling; without taking reasonable precautions to prevent such emissions. Reasonable precautions include application of water, dust suppressants, and other measures defined in Orange County Code Chapter 15 Environmental Control, Article III Air Quality Control, Division 2 Rules, Section 15-89.1 Air Pollution Prohibited. Contamination Disturbance - No activity will be permitted on the site that may disturb, influence, or otherwise interfere with: areas of soil or groundwater contamination, or any remediation activities, or within the hydrological zone of influence of any contaminated area, unless prior approval has been obtained through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and such approval has been provided to the Environmental Protection Division (EPD) of Orange County. An owner/operator who exacerbates any existing contamination or does not properly dispose of any excavated contaminated media may become liable for some portion of the contamination pursuant to the provisions in section 376.308, F.S. Previous Land Use Plan (LUP) Conditions – The BCC of April 28, 2009 had several conditions on the LUP as a result of concern due to the buried waste including some of the findings outlined above but also: Condition #11 An FDEP (Florida Department of Environmental

EPD comments for Amendments 2015-2-A-5-1 and 2015-2-A-5-2: Wetland Conservation Areas There are wetlands and surface waters located within the subject properties amounting to approximately 1,000 acres that will require protection per Orange County Code (OCC) Chapter 15, Article X Wetland Conservation Areas. Approval of this request does not authorize any direct or indirect impacts to conservation areas. Prior to any development plan or preliminary subdivision plan submittal, the Environmental Protection Division (EPD) will require a completed Conservation Area Determination (CAD). CAD 07-134 was completed for the properties located north of Lake Pickett Road. This determination is valid through February 11, 2018. All other properties will require completion of the CAD application process. [Reference OCC Chapter 34 Subdivision Regulations, Article IV Specifications for Plans and Plats, Section 34-131, Preliminary Subdivision Plan and Supporting Data, 34-131(d) Physical/environmental conditions, 34-131(d)(2) An approved conservation area determination. ] All development shall be consistent with the conservation element of the county comprehensive plan and the conservation regulations. [Reference OCC Chapter 30 Planning and Development, Article VIII Site Development, Division 1, Section 30-246 Conservation Areas.] All acreages regarding conservation areas and wetland buffers are considered approximate until finalized by a Conservation Area Determination (CAD) and a Conservation Area Impact (CAI) Permit. Every application for activity subject to Orange County Code Chapter 15 Environmental Control shall be reviewed to determine the functional significance, scarcity, replaceability, vulnerability and productivity of the habitat on the lands to be considered in both the pre- and post-development condition. The applicants are advised not to make financial decisions based upon a presumption of approved conservation encroachment by development within the wetland or the upland protective buffer areas. Any plan showing development in a wetland or protective upland buffer area without Orange County and other jurisdictional government agency wetland permits is speculative and may not be approved. The removal, alteration or encroachment within a Class I Conservation Area shall only be allowed in cases where: no other feasible or practical alternatives exist, impacts are unavoidable to allow a reasonable use of the land, or where there is an overriding public benefit, as determined before the Orange County Board of County Commissioners. [Reference OCC Chapter 15 Environmental Control, Article X Wetland Conservation Areas, subject to, but limited to, 15-396 Compensation required for unavoidable loss and 15-419 Evaluation Criteria.] Surface waters located on these properties include Lake Paxton, Lake Tanner, Corner Lake, a portion of the Big Econ River and unnamed tributaries. Clearly label and indicate the Normal High Water Elevation (NHWE) lines of the lakes on all development plans or permit applications, in addition to any wetland and setback lines. [Reference OCC Chapter 38 Zoning, Article VIII P-D Planned Development District, Division 1 Generally, Section 38-1206 Development Plan shall include identification of land and water bodies and show natural features. Reference OCC Chapter 34 Subdivision Regulations, Article IV Specifications for Plans and Plats, Section 34-131 Preliminary Subdivision Plan Supporting Data shall include information (identification and contour line) on the normal high water elevation.]

Econlockhatchee River Basin These properties are located within the geographical limits of the (Big) Econlockhatchee River Protection Ordinance. Basin-wide regulations apply which include but are not limited to, wetland buffers, habitat preservation and wildlife management, stormwater management, and landscaping with native plant species. [Reference OCC Chapter 15 Article XI Econlockhatchee River Protection, Section 15-442 Basin-wide regulations.] Habitat Protection Development of the subject property shall comply with all state and federal regulations pertaining to wildlife or plants that are listed as endangered, threatened, or species of special concern by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and/or the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). The Preliminary Environmental Assessment reports submitted with these requests indicated evidence of several protected wildlife species in the area such as gopher tortoise, Sherman's fox squirrel, American bald eagle, Florida sandhill crane, little blue heron and white ibis. It appears that portions of the plans have been identified as part of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Priority Ecological Greenway Network 2013. This project of the Florida Ecological Greenway Network (FEGN) identifies areas of opportunity for protecting a statewide network of ecological hubs and linkages designed to maintain large landscape-scale ecological functions including focal species habitat and ecosystem services throughout the state. The FEGN aggregates various data identifying areas of ecological significance from the Florida Natural Areas Inventory, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, existing and proposed conservation lands, and other relevant data. These data were combined to identify large, landscape-scale areas of ecological significance (ecological hubs), and a network of landscape linkages and corridors connecting the hubs into a statewide ecological greenways system (ecological greenways and wildlife corridors). Based on our experience with similar projects, developing potions of this area of ecological significance would diminish the functionality of the area as a greenway and move the land use from a state of higher sustainability to a state of lower sustainability in terms of the resources needed to sustain the lower state. Please provide reasonable assurance that the habitat and ecological function of this ecosystem will not be diminished as a result of the proposed development. Design Considerations The natural topography, soils and vegetation should be preserved and utilized, where possible through the careful location and design of all elements such as circulation ways, buildings, open space and drainage facilities. Designation and use of conservation areas must be consistent with adopted growth management policy. [Referencer OCC Chapter 38 Zoning. Article VIII PD Planned Development District, Division 2 General Site Development Standards, Section 38-1228.] Approval of this request does not constitute approval of a permit for the construction of boat docks (including but not limited to boardwalks or observation piers) or a boat ramp. Any person desiring to construct a boat dock or boat ramp within Unincorporated Orange County shall first apply for a permit prior to the installation. [A boat dock requires additional permitting under OCC Chapter

15, Article IX, Dock Construction. A boat ramp requires additional permitting under OCC Chapter 15, Article XV, Boat Ramps. Application shall be submitted to the Orange County Environmental Protection Division.] This site is adjacent to lands that are managed by the St Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD). The covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) shall contain notification to potential purchasers, builders or tenants of this development that the adjacent land use includes publicly managed property. The notice shall indicate that the adjacent property will require the use of resource management practices that may result in periodic temporary conditions that may limit outdoor activities. These practices will include, but not be limited to, ecological burning, pesticide and herbicide usage, exotic plant and animal removal, usage of heavy equipment and machinery, and other practices as may be deemed necessary for proper resource management. Development shall coordinate the proposed trail system with the SJRWMD to ensure that it connects with the trail system already established within the Econ Sandhills Conservation Area. Pollution Prevention Pollution abatement swales shall be provided and maintained upland of streams and canals and the NHWE on all lakes, inclusive of wetlands connected to lakes. If wetland protection buffers are present, then the swale shall be located upland of the buffer. Areas that drain away from lakes do not require a swale. [Reference OCC Chapter 34 Subdivision Regulations, Article IV Specifications for Plans and Plats, Section 34-132(c)(2). ] Portions of the Lake Pickett North and South development will discharge into an impaired water body. The Impaired Waters Rule, Chapter 62-303 of the Florida Administrative Code may increase the requirements for pollution abatement treatment of stormwater as part of future approvals of related Basin Management Action Plans currently in development by the state Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). The applicant is advised to follow related legislation in order to assure compliance with future regulations. If on-site sewage treatment disposal systems (OSTDS) are installed, nutrients passing through septic drainfields shall be detected prior to their transport to the Econlockhatchee River basin, as well as other water bodies and wetlands in the vicinity of the project. The developer is responsible for addressing adverse impacts to existing water quality. The development shall include measures to prevent excess nutrients from entering water bodies via storm water run-off or base flow. Preventive measures that may be required by the Impaired Waters Rule through Basin Management Action Plans may include the County to require proper fertilizer management and the installation of curb inlet baskets to prevent entrained litter and other debris from entering the stormwater system. Some areas of the subject properties have a prior land use that may have resulted in petroleum spills, agricultural related contamination (including cattle operations), and fertilizer, pesticide or herbicide spillage. No activity will be permitted on the site that may disturb, influence or interfere with: areas of soil or groundwater contamination, any remediation activities, or within the hydrological zone of influence of the contaminated area, unless prior approval has been

obtained through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). An owner/operator who exacerbates the existing contamination, introduces contamination into previously uncontaminated media, or does not properly document and dispose of any excavated or extracted media that is contaminated may become liable for some portion of the contamination pursuant to the provisions in section 376.308, F.S. Additional Regulations This review does not release the applicant from complying with all other Federal, State, and Local rules and regulations. If this review conflicts with those of any other Agency, Department or Division, the permittee must comply with the most stringent requirements.

INTRODUCTION The Developco Property consists of one parcel totaling 306.73 acres± (Figure 1). It is located within Sections 26, 27, 34, and 35, Township 23 South, Range 27 East, Orange County, Florida. The property is bounded on the north by cypress, the east by high density residential housing, lake Reams, and cypress, to the south by high density residential housing, and to the west by Reams Road. The project area consists of undeveloped uplands and wetlands (Figure 1). This Environmental Assessment report is being prepared on behalf of Developco Properties, LLC per the Orange County Comp Plan Amendment Application. EXISTING ECOLOGICAL CONDITIONS Vegetative Communities Vegetative and land use cover types were classified and mapped using the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Land Use, Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCFCS), January 1999 (Figure 2). The limits of the onsite jurisdictional wetlands and surface waters were obtained from a combination of St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) GIS data, National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) GIS data and interpretation of high resolution aerial photography. The wetland and surface water boundaries have not been flagged in the field and have not been approved by any federal, state or county permitting agency. There are eleven (11) FLUCFCS classifications identified on the project site (Figure 2). A description along with acreage and percent cover of each classification type is provided below. FLUCFCS 310 – Non-forested Herbaceous Upland (0.92 acres) This FLUCFCS land use comprises 0.3% of the project area. These areas are typically dominated by prairie grasses including bluestem (Andropogon spp), wiregrass (Aristida spp.), and dropseed (Sporobolus spp.). Typical forbs found within this habitat include slender flattop goldenrod (Euthamia caroliniana), chaffhead (Carphephorus spp.), and gayfeather (Liatris spp.). Shrubs present within these areas include saw palmetto (Serenoa repens), gallberry (Ilex glabra), wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera), lyonia (Lyonia spp.), and winged sumac (Rhus copallinum). FLUCFCS 411 – Pine Flatwoods (68.14 acres) This FLUCFCS land use comprises 22.2% of the project area. Pine flatwoods is the dominant upland community within the property and is present along the west boundary. This community is typified by an open canopy of pine trees including slash pine (Pinus elliottii), longleaf pine (Pinus palustris), and loblolly pine (Pinus taeda). The understory is composed primarily of grass and forb species similar to those present within the non-forested herbaceous uplands described above and may include clustered or dense saw palmetto or other shrubs. FLUCFCS 434 – Upland Mixed Coniferous/Hardwood (2.11 acres) This FLUCFCS land use comprises 0.7% of the project area. It is typically dominated by a combination of pine and hardwood tree species including slash pine, longleaf pine, live oak (Quercus virginiana), laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia), southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora), and pignut hickory
2
(Carya glabra). The understory is often dominated by dense saw palmetto and may also include American beautyberry (Callicarpa americana) and winged sumac. FLUCFCS 617 – Mixed Wetland Hardwoods (6.27 acres) This FLUCFCS land use comprises 2.0% of the project area. This community is found along the eastern edge of the parcel. Within this habitat the canopy is dominated by a diverse mixture of wetland hardwood trees including red maple (Acer rubrum), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), sweetbay (Magnolia virginiana), swamp tupelo (Nyssa sylvatica var. biflora), and American elm (Ulmus americana). Slash pine and bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) may be scattered throughout. Typical shrub species include wax myrtle, Virginia willow (Itea virginica), possumhaw (Viburnum nudum), and common buttonbush. Groundcover is typically dominated by ferns and other shade tolerant plant species. FLUCFCS 621 – Cypress (187.62 acres) This FLUCFCS land use comprises 61.2% of the project area. This habitat dominates the large central swamp within and immediately west of the property. It is dominated by bald-cypress, and minor associates in the canopy community may include red maple, swamp tupelo, and sweetbay. Typical shrub species include dahoon holly (Ilex cassine), common buttonbush, shiny lyonia (Lyonia lucida), and possumhaw. Typical groundcover includes herbaceous species tolerant of shade and high water levels such as royal fern (Osmunda regalis subsp. spectabilis), maidencane (Panicum hemitomon), golden club (Orontium aquaticum), and lizard’s tail (Saururus cernuus). FLUCFCS 625 – Wet Pine Flatwoods (11.54 acre) This FLUCFCS land use comprises less than 3.8% of the project area. Within the project area, these areas are found at the interface between cypress and pine flatwoods communities. They are dominated by pine, typically slash pine in this region of Florida. Common associates in the canopy community include loblolly bay (Gordonia lasianthus), red bay (Persea borbonia), sweetbay, and red maple. The understory is typically dominated by water tolerant grasses and forbs such as bushy bluestem (Andropogon glomeratus), wiregrass (Aristida stricta), and maidencane. Shrubs are generally sparse and may include shiny lyonia, shiny blueberry (Vaccinium myrsinites), wax myrtle, and Walter’s viburnum (Viburnum obovatum). FLUCFCS 646 – Mixed Scrub – Shrub Wetland (30.13 acres) This FLUCFCS land use comprises 9.8% of the project area. These areas are found in the northern portion of the parcel. They are typically dominated by a mixture of wetland shrubs including common buttonbush, wax myrtle, shiny lyonia, dahoon holly, possumhaw, and swamp dogwood (Cornus foemina). Disturbed areas may include Carolina willow (Salix caroliniana). On-site shrub wetlands include low to moderate densities of bald-cypress. Groundcover species typical of shrub wetland include arrowhead (Sagittaria spp.), pickerelweed (Pontederia cordata), and maidencane. Soils Based on the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey of Orange County, four (4) soil types are mapped on the project site (Figure 3). The mapped units include the following:
3 – Basinger fine sand, depressional (Hydric)
3
20 – Immokalee fine sand (Non-hydric) 41 – Samsula – Hontoon – Basinger association, depressional (Hydric) 44 – Smyrna fine sand (Non-hydric)
Basinger fine sand, depressional, and Samsula – Hontoon – Basinger association compose the majority of the site area, 44.11 acres and 203.43 acres, respectively. Although not considered hydric soil map units, Immokalee fine sand and Smyrna fine sand both may contain hydric soil inclusions. Hydric and non-hydric soil designations are based on the NRCS National List of Hydric Soils, April 2012. Wetlands and Surface Waters National Wetlands Inventories identify a total of 252.66 acres of jurisdictional wetlands located within the Developco property (Figure 4). Based on aerial interpretation as provided on the land use map, Figure 2, the estimated wetland area on the property is 235.56 acres. The final wetland area will be determined by field delineation of the wetland boundaries and will be contingent upon agency approval. Onsite wetlands and surface waters will be under the jurisdiction of SJRWMD, Army Corps of Engineers and Orange County Environmental Protection Division. Protected Wildlife and Plant Species A review of publically-available databases was conducted to determine the potential for the occurrence of protected species listed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Figure 5. The FNAI online Biodiversity Matrix database was searched to determine if there are any documented protected plant or wildlife species or critical habitats that may be located within or adjacent to the subject parcels. Results of this database query revealed no documented elements found within or adjacent to the subject parcels (Appendix A). The following paragraphs describe the protected species with the potential to occur onsite. Sherman's Fox Squirrel The Sherman's fox squirrel (Sciurus niger shermani) is listed as a Species of Special Concern by the FWC, but not listed by the USFWS. Fox squirrels were listed in the FNAI report as potentially occurring on site. Suitable habitat may be present within the pine flatwoods areas. Florida Mouse The Florida mouse (Podomys floridanus) is listed as an SSC by the FWC and was listed in the FNAI report as potentially occurring on site. The Florida mouse typically utilizes xeric upland communities where they inhabit gopher tortoise burrows. No xeric habitat is present within the project area, and it is unlikely the Florida mouse will occur on-site. Wood Stork The wood stork (Mycteria americana) is state and federally protected as Endangered and consultation with the USFWS is required for any proposed work that impacts wood stork core foraging habitat. The subject property is not located within Core Foraging Areas (CFA) for active wood stork
4
breeding colonies. However, the property provides excellent habitat, and it is likely wood storks utilize the site for foraging. Red-cockaded Woodpecker The red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis) is listed as Endangered by the USFWS and FWC. The project site is located within the USFWS red-cockaded woodpecker consultation area. The FWC Red-cockaded Woodpecker Nest Locator Database was reviewed to determine the proximity of recorded active red-cockaded woodpecker nests to the Developco property. According to the database, the closest red-cockaded woodpecker nest was located approximately 5.5 miles to the south. A field review of the site will be conducted to determine the present of red-cockaded woodpeckers within the pine flatwoods located within the project area. Snail Kite The snail kite (Rostrhamus sociabilis) is listed as Endangered by the FWC and USFWS. The subject property is located within the snail kite consultation area. Suitable habitat includes freshwater marshes and shallow wetlands with vegetated edges in which apple snails can be found. Habitat potentially exists onsite; however, it is unlikely snail kites utilize the project area due to the dense canopy cover. Also no snail kite nesting areas are recorded in Orange County. Florida scrub jay The Florida scrub-jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens) is listed as threatened by FWC and USFWS. The project area is located within the USFWS scrub-jay consultation area, but no scrub-jay habitat, consisting primarily of oak scrub, is located on-site. It is unlikely scrub-jays will be present within the project area. Audubon’s Crested Caracara Audubon’s crested caracara (Caracara cheriway audubonii) is listed as Threatened by the FWC and USFWS. The subject properties are not located within the caracara consultation area, and no suitable nesting habitat is located within the project area. Bald Eagle The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is not listed by either the FWC or the USFWS but is protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. The FWC Bald Eagle Nest Locator Database was reviewed to determine the proximity of recorded active bald eagle nests to the Developco property. According to the database, the closest bald eagle nest was OR007, located approximately 1.5 miles to the north, see Figure 5. The USFWS indicates that all projects greater than 660 feet from a bald eagle nest tree do not require USFWS review. Florida Sandhill Crane The Florida sandhill crane is listed as Threatened by the FFWCC and is not listed by the USFWS. Sandhill cranes prefer to nest in shallow wetlands with maidencane or pickerelweed. Few, if any, wetland areas suitable for nesting occur within or adjacent to the project boundary. Florida Burrowing Owl The Florida burrowing owl is listed as a Species of Special Concern by the FFWCC and is not listed by the USFWS. Burrowing owls prefer dry prairie or Sandhill habitat with low canopy cover and
5
densely-vegetated, sandy ground. Habitats suitable for burrowing owls do not occur within or adjacent to the project boundary. Gopher Tortoise The gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) is listed as Threatened by the FWC, but not listed by the USFWS. It was listed by the FNAI report as potentially occurring within the project area. Although the dry sandy habitats preferred by gopher tortoises are not present within the project area, tortoises may still be found within the upland habitats located on-site. Eastern Indigo Snake The Eastern indigo snake (Drymarchon corais couperi) is listed as Threatened by the FWC and USFWS. Indigo snakes were also listed in the FNAI report as potentially occurring on site. Indigo snakes are a commensal species in gopher tortoise burrows. Indigo snakes utilize a wide range of habitats, and suitable habitat exists on-site. Florida Pine Snake The Florida pine snake (Pituophis melanoleucus mugitus) is listed as a Species of Special Concern by the FFWCC and is not listed by the USFWS. It was listed in the FNAI report as potentially occurring on site. The Florida pine snake prefers dry sandy soils with open canopies. Florida pine snakes often coexist with gopher tortoises and may be found within the uplands located on-site. Sand Skink and Blue-tailed Mole Skink The subject property is located within the sand skink (Neoseps reynoldsi) and blue-tailed mole skink (Eumeces egregious lividus) consultation area, and the property is above 82 feet mean sea level (MSL), the elevation above which sand skinks are generally found. However, no soils considered sand skink soils are located on-site. Therefore, sand skinks are not expected to utilize the property, based upon the sand skink survey protocol of the USFWS Species Conservation and Consultation Guide. The range of the blue-tailed mole skink is generally limited to the Lake Wales Ridge, and therefore is unlikely to be found within the project area. Gopher Frog The gopher frog (Lithobates capito) is listed as a Species of Special Concern by the FWC and is not listed by the USFWS. It was listed in the FNAI report as potentially occurring on site. The gopher frog utilizes sandy uplands that include isolated wetlands or large ponds within close proximity (~1 mile). Gopher frogs are known commensals of gopher tortoise burrows and will utilize other burrows or stump holes as a daytime refuge. Wading Bird Rookeries According to FWC data, no wading bird rookeries are located within or immediately adjacent to the project area. The closest recorded location of a wading bird colony, no. 612033, is mapped approximately 4.9 miles west of the properties, Figure 5. This rookery was last determined as “Active” during the 1970’s survey. No wading bird rookeries should be affected by the development of these properties. Listed Plant Species

west of Turkey Lake Road to west of John Young Parkway to 6 lanes. Construction to be determined.
• International Drive – Planned roadway improvement to widen International Drive from Sand Lake Road to Kirkman Road to 6 lanes by 2030.
Right of Way Requirements: None Summary
• The allowable development based on the approved future land use will generate 2,034 pm peak hour trips
• The proposed use will generate 196 pm peak hour trips resulting in a net reduction of 1,838 pm peak hour trips.
• Analysis of existing pm peak hour conditions indicates multiple failing roadway segments within the project impact area. As the table indicates, the following roadways are currently operating below the adopted level of service:
a. Sand Lake Rd. from I-Drive to Kirkman Rd.
b. Turkey Lake Rd. from Sand Lake Commons Blvd. to Sand Lake Rd.
c. Wallace Rd. from Dr. Phillips Blvd. to Turkey Lake Rd.
d. Universal Blvd. from Sand Lake Rd. to Pointe Plaza Ave.
• The short term (2020) analysis indicates that the existing failing roadway segments continue to operate below the adopted level of service with and without the proposed amendment.
• The long term (2030) analysis indicate the same level of roadway deficiencies including International Drive from Sand Lake Road to Kirkman Road and Sand Lake Road from Turkey Lake Road to International Drive.
• Roadway deficiencies are projected for the short term and long term scenarios with and without the proposed amendment. In addition, trip generation estimates of the proposed land use amendment versus the currently approved land use result in a reduction of trips. Therefore, the proposed amendment will not adversely impact the area’s transportation facilities.
Final permitting of any development on this site will be subject to review and approval under capacity constraints of the county’s Transportation Concurrency Management System. Such approval will not exclude the possibility of a proportionate share payment in order to mitigate any transportation deficiencies. Finally, to ensure that there are no revisions to the proposed development beyond the analyzed use, the land use will be noted on the County’s Future Land Use Map or as a text amendment to the Comprehensive Policy Plan.

• The allowable development based on the approved future land use will generate 17 pm peak hour trips
• The proposed use of 75 single family dwelling units will generate 81 pm peak hour trips resulting in a net increase of 64 pm peak hour trips. Based on the Concurrency Management System (CMS) database dated 06/11/15 analysis of existing pm peak hour conditions indicates that there are two failing roadway segments within the project impact area. Ficquette Rd. from Reams Road to Winter Garden-Vineland Road and Reams Road from Lake Hancock Road to Cast Drive are currently operating below the adopted level of service standard.
• The short term or year 2020 roadway volumes were projected using historical growth rates based on data obtained from Orange County’s traffic database. Analysis of the projected traffic on the area’s transportation network indicates that the segments of Reams Road and Ficquette Road will continue to operate below the adopted level of service with and without the proposed amendment
• Analysis of long term or year 2030 conditions which included all planned roadway improvements within the project impact area indicated that all roadways segments are projected to operate within the adopted level of service standard.
Final permitting of any development on this site will be subject to review and approval under capacity constraints of the county’s Transportation Concurrency Management System.

This study site is a 38-unit student village that houses boarding students attending the Lake Mary Preparatory School. Traffic counts we conducted from September 2 thru Spetember 8, 2014 when the facility was fully occupied. Based on the survey, this facility generates approximately 173 daily and 20 pm peak hour trips resulting in an average rate of 4.55 daily and .53 pm peak hour trips per unit. Using this surveyed rate, it is estimated that the proposed 65 unit student housing facility will generate 34 pm peak hour trips and 296 daily trips. It should be noted that all students living at the proposed facility will be restricted from owning or keeping personal cars at the facility.

Summary
• The maximum allowable development for this site is 2,000,000 square feet which the developer proposes to split evenly between office use and commercial use.
• The requested amendment will result in an additional 2,947 pm peak hour trips on the surrounding transportation network.
• Analysis of existing conditions indicates that all roadway segments currently operate at an acceptable level of service.
• Analysis of the short term or year 2020 conditions indicate the proposed amendment will impact several roadway segments within the project impact area. Chickasaw Trail from Valencia College Lane to Colonial Drive, Econlockhatchee Trail from Lake Underhill Road to Valencia College Lane and Valencia College Lane from the Central Florida Greeneway to Goldenrod Road are all projected to operate at Level of service F.
• In the long term or 2030 horizon year, the roadway network in the study area is projected to operate at adequate level of service except Colonial Drive and Chickasaw Trail.
• This parcel in located in the Alternative Mobility Area (AMA) and per Objective T.2.3.2 of the County’s comprehensive Plan, the proposed development is exempt from meeting transportation concurrency requirements. To assess the extent of the alternative transportation network within the project impact area, a review of these facilities was conducted in accordance with Policy 2.3.7 of the Comprehensive Plan to determine the availability of these alternative modes in the area. Based on this review, it was determined that the sidewalk network along the frontage of the site is incomplete and connections will be required at the time of site development. To accommodate bicyclists, on road bicycle lanes are present on the 4-lane section of Valencia College Lane to the east and on the SR408 spur connector to the south however, there are no bicycle lanes to the west of the site. Public transportation is available within a quarter mile walk distance. The site is served by Link 15 which travels along Valencia College Lane adjacent to the property and there is a bus stop located approximately 500 feet to the west of the site. There is also a stop on eastbound leg which is improved with a shelter, and bench. The west bound stop however, has no amenities and consists of a pole sign. Link 104 is also available at the nearby Community College campus.
Final permitting of any development on this site will be subject to further review and approval from the County’s Development Review Committee (DRC) and by Transportation Planning. The applicant will be required to include site level mobility enhancements on the development plan for this project.

MEMORANDUM April 3, 2015 Re: Spring Grove Village H Traffic Review for Comp Plan Amendment Project № 15-029
This analysis was conducted to support an application to amend the future land use designation of the Spring Grove property located on Avalon Road, south of Siedel Road, in Village H of Horizon West, as illustrated in Figure 1. Description The proposed amendment will modify the FLU designation of the property from PD-Apartment District to PD-Village Home District. The site is approximately 25 acres, of which the net developable area is 11.4 acres. The maximum allowable development under the current FLU designation is 285 multi-family dwelling units. Under the proposed FLU designation the maximum allowable development is 85 single family dwelling units. Therefore, the proposed amendment will significantly reduce the development density proposed at the site. Trip Generation The trip generation analysis was conducted using information published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) in the Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition. Table 1 summarizes the resulting trip generation analysis conducted. The ITE Trip Generation graphs are attached for reference.
Table 1 Trip Generation Comparison
Spring Grove Village H Traffic Review for Comp Plan Amendment Project №15-029 April 3, 2015 Page 2 of 2 The trip generation analysis reveals that the proposed amendment will significantly reduce the trip generation of the site. The daily trips are reduced from 1,850 trips to 904 trips, a 51% reduction. The peak hour trips are reduced from 174 trips to 91 trips, a 48% reduction. Based on this analysis, the proposed amendment will reduce the potential impact of the site on the surrounding transportation infrastructure. Therefore, no further capacity analysis is necessary for the proposed amendment. Road Agreement As the site undergoes additional approvals, the proposed development program will be subject to the Village H road network agreement to mitigate its capacity demands on the transportation network. This agreement replaces the typical concurrency process for development on the site. Therefore, the impact generated by the development is addressed through the development process. The first page of the road agreement is attached for identification/reference.

Introduction
This traffic study is for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment associated with one parcel
(27‐23‐27‐0000‐00‐020) within Horizon West in Orange County. The subject parcel is
located north of Reams Road and east of Ficquette Road in western Orange County,
Florida. Figure 1 shows the project location. Reams Road will provide access to the
parcels from the east and south while Ficquette Road will provide access from the west
and north.
Study Area of Influence
Consistent with Orange County’s methodology for transportation analysis for
Comprehensive Policy Plan Amendments, the primary study area for this traffic
assessment includes the directly impacted collectors or arterials, which, at a minimum,
includes a one mile radius around the project site. The area includes each roadway where
the daily project trips on the roadway segments are greater or equal to 3% of the
minimum service volume at the adopted level of service. Based on this review, roadway
segments that are within the traffic impact assessment area include the following:
Ficquette Road from Winter Garden‐Vineland Road (CR 535) to Overstreet Road
Ficquette Road from Overstreet Road to Lake Hancock Road
Lake Hancock Road from Seidel road to Reams Road
Overstreet Road from Ficquette Road to Londale Boulevard
Overstreet Road from Londale Boulevard to Winter Garden‐Vineland Road
(CR 535)
Porter Road from Lake Hancock Road to Phil Ritson Way
Reams Road from Lake Hancock Road to Cast Drive

Analysis Results
Per Orange County requirements, a transportation analysis was completed for existing
conditions, five‐year conditions (Year 2020), and Year 2040 conditions. The conclusions of
this analysis are as follows:
The proposed land use change will result in a net increase of 2,578 daily trips and
251 PM peak trips in comparison to the currently approved land use.
The existing conditions analysis shows that all of the roadways within the study
area of influence operate within the acceptable Level of Service capacity
standards and have excess capacity.
The five‐year analysis shows that all of the roadways within the study area are
projected to operate within the acceptable Level of Service capacity standards.
The Year 2040 analysis shows that all of the roadways within the study area of
influence are projected to operate within the acceptable Level of Service capacity
standards.
The analysis assumptions and results are discussed in the remainder of this report.

Existing Conditions Roadway Analysis
Table 3 presents the existing conditions analysis for daily conditions. The traffic counts
were obtained from the most recent (year 2013) traffic count data published by Orange
County. This analysis shows that all of these roadway segments currently meet Orange
County’s adopted Level of Service standards and have excess capacity.

Planned and Programmed Improvements
Programmed improvements are those with funding commitments within the next five
years. According to the MetroPlan Orlando Transportation Improvement Program (TIP),
the segment of Ficquette Road from Overstreet Road to Winter Garden‐Vineland Road (CR
535) is scheduled to be widened from two lanes to four lanes in 2015.
Planned improvements are those that fall outside the five‐year window but are identified
in the MetroPlan Orlando Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). There are no roadways
within the study area that are identified in the Cost Feasible Projects list. The widening of
Reams Road to four lanes is identified on the Unfunded Needs List; however,
improvements that do not have committed funding sources are not considered in the
future conditions analysis.

Five Year Analysis
To estimate Year 2020 background roadway volumes for the analysis area, historical
growth rates were calculated based on historical data and used to project Year 2020
volumes. The growth rate calculations are shown in Exhibit A. The historical data was
obtained from the Orange County traffic count database. The latest available volumes are
from 2013. The calculations indicate that there is variability in growth rates among the
segments in the analysis area, but there is positive growth along all of the segments
between 2008 and 2013. A minimum growth rate of 1.0% was used to provide a
conservative estimate for future volumes. In the case of Reams Road, when the historical
growth rate was applied to exiting volumes, the forecasted 2020 volume resulted in a
2020 AADT that was higher than the 2040 model forecasted AADT. Therefore, for this
segment, 2020 AADT was obtained by interpolating (Linear) between existing traffic
volumes and 2040 model forecasted volumes.
Table 4 shows the AADT for each segment from the past five years, the forecasted 2020
volumes, and the annual growth rates calculated from these volumes.
The trips associated with the buildout of the parcel were added to the background
volumes for each segment. The MetroPlan Orlando travel demand model was used to
determine the project traffic distribution including the revised development program.
While the travel demand model provides a good estimation for how traffic will be
distributed across the roadway network, there are assumptions in the model that can
create scenarios that may not accurately reflect project traffic travel patterns. For
example, the subject parcel is located within close proximity of Disney World, which is a
large employment site. The trip distribution produced by the model assumes that 40.5
percent of the trips from the parcel will be attracted by Disney World. While it is
reasonable to assume that project traffic will be attracted by Disney World, 40.5 percent
seems excessive; therefore, project traffic distribution was adjusted to reduce the number
of trips attracted by Disney World to ten percent of the project trips. The remaining 30.5
percent of trips were allocated proportionately throughout the network. The project trips
for each segment were calculated based on the adjusted distributions. Figure 2 shows the
adjusted distribution of the project trips along the segments within the analysis area. The
raw trip distribution can be found in Exhibit B.

Table 5 provides the 2020 background traffic and project traffic for each segment within
the study area. The analysis of the traffic volumes shows that all of the roadways within
the study area are projected to operate within the Level of Service capacity standards.

Year 2040 Analysis
Table 6 summarizes the roadway analysis completed for long‐term (Year 2040) conditions
assuming the proposed land use change. Year 2040 background volumes for the
roadways within the study area of influence were obtained from the MetroPlan Orlando
travel demand model and are provided in Exhibit B. These raw modeled volumes (RMV)
were then multiplied by the model output conversion factor (MOCF) for Orange County to
get the average annual daily traffic (AADT) for each segment. As shown in Table 6, the
2040 modeled volumes for the segments along Overstreet Road and Winter Garden‐
Vineland Road (CR 535) are lower than the existing volumes. For these segments, and to
provide for a more conservative analysis, the projected 2020 volumes were used instead
of the lower 2040 modeled volumes.
The project trips for the 2040 condition were calculated by using the same distribution
used in the 2020 analysis. The total 2040 volumes are a combination of the background
volumes and the project trips. The analysis shows that all of the roadway segments within
the study area of influence will operate within the acceptable Level of Service capacity
standards.

Conclusions and Recommendations
A transportation analysis was completed for existing conditions, five‐year conditions (year
2020), and Year 2040 conditions. The conclusions of this analysis are as follows:
The proposed land use change will result in a net increase of 2,578 daily trips and
251 PM peak trips in comparison to the currently approved land use.
The existing conditions analysis shows that all of the roadways within the study
area of influence operate within the acceptable Level of Service capacity
standards and have excess capacity.
The five‐year analysis shows that all of the roadways within the study area are
projected to operate within the acceptable Level of Service capacity standards.
The Year 2040 analysis shows that all of the roadways within the study area of influence are projected to operate within the acceptable Level of Service capacity standards.

Appendix B: Environmental Conditions
As shown on Figure 6, the majority of the Developco Parcel falls within the 100-year floodplain.
Figure 7 shows that the Developco Parcel is relatively flat with little to no elevation changes throughout the property. The soils are primarily very well drained. The soils associated with the wetlands are hydric in nature. A master drainage system was constructed under SFWMD Application Number 061009-7. A SFWMD Letter Modification will be required for the site plan changes.
