A. Background The Innovation Way Overlay was adopted in 2006 by Amendment 2006-1-B-FLUE-2. The Innovation

Way policies and overlay envisioned balancing high value economic development with

environmental protection through innovative urban form, multimodal transportation concepts and

infrastructure, and sustainable development practices. While market forces and other externalities

have led staff to reevaluate the implementation of the Innovation Way vision, the goals for

economic development, environmental sustainability, and an urban form that supports multimodal

transportation options has not changed.

Staff is evaluating the Innovation Way policies and development framework, and where necessary

suggesting revisions to allow for an incremental urbanism approach. This differs from the existing

Innovation Way approach by recognizing that communities develop and mature over time, such that

urban densities and intensities, a robust mix of land uses and extensive transit use are realized –

incrementally – over time as the market responds to development opportunities. The policy

framework through which incremental urbanism is implemented shares many common features

with the existing Innovation Way policies however, the focus is a transect-based form comprised of

zones that have different functions.

Consistent with the recommendations of the Regulatory Streamlining Task Force, staff is proposing

the use of a form-based regulating plan/code to create the desired urban form and economic

development in Innovation Way. The proposed policy revisions and update to Future Land Use Map

Series Map 4 included in Amendment 2014-2-C-CP-1 represent a streamlined approach to the

application and review submittal requirements. In addition to streamlining and redirecting the

policy framework to implement a transect-based approach, the proposed policies refer to a multi-

modal transportation network instead of the currently adopted multi-modal transportation district

(MMTD). The multi-modal transportation network is predicated on the use of transportation

network agreements to address the physical requirements, phasing and funding of transportation

facilities within Innovation Way.

Work sessions related to the proposed text amendments were conducted with the LPA on April 24,

2014, and June 19, 2014, respectively. A community meeting regarding the effect of the proposed

Innovation Way text amendments was held on July 9, 2014. Staff anticipates the proposed text

amendments will go before the Board of County Commissioners on August 5, 2014. If the

amendments are transmitted, the LPA and BCC adoption public hearings are tentatively scheduled

for October and November.

Policy Amendments Following are the policy changes proposed by this amendment. A separate document showing the

changes in a strike-through/underlined format is included.

FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT TEXT AMENDMENTS

GOAL FLU5 INNOVATION WAY. Orange County continues to recognize the importance of a

diverse local economy and the need to protect sensitive resources, specifically as

they relate to high tech/clean tech jobs and the protection and preservation of the

Econlockhatchee River Basin within the Innovation Way Overlay. The Innovation

Way Overlay is illustrated on MAP 4 of the Future Land Use Map Series.



OBJ FLU5.1 The Innovation Way Overlay is a conceptual transect-based overlay designation

where the County envisions a transit-ready, multi-modal mixed-use, walkable

community with sustainable economic development, adequate public

infrastructure, and the protection and resource management of environmentally

sensitive areas. The Innovation Way policies, Environmental Land Stewardship

Program (”ELSP”) and Jobs-to-Housing Linkage Program (“Linkage Program”)

ordinances provide the foundation necessary to support and guide the

implementation of the Innovation Way vision.

FLU5.1.1 Prior Development Approvals in the Innovation Way Overlay. Properties located in

the Innovation Way Overlay with development that meets one of the criterion listed

below shall not be required to comply with the Innovation Way Policies.

1. Development that has approval as of June 13, 2006, and is developed

consistent with such approval; or

2. Development with a consistency vested rights determination, provided the

vested rights do not expire and the development occurs in a manner that is

consistent with the vested rights determination; or

3. Development that is consistent with the uses, densities and intensities

allowed by CP as of June 13, 2006.

FLU5.1.2 Innovation Way Conceptual Urban Form. Map 4 of the Future Land Use Map Series

is intended to provide for the generalized and illustrative location and extent of

transect zones that collectively depict the desired urban form for Innovation Way.

This map will guide the preparation of Conceptual Regulating Plans and Planned

Development Regulating Plans. Final boundaries and configurations of transect

zones, and the specific location and type of Innovation Way land use districts, road

alignments and trails, shall be determined through the adoption of an Innovation

Way Planned Development Regulating Plan for individual properties within the

Overlay.

The Innovation Way overlay (MAP 4) does not provide any entitlements beyond the

underlying future land use map designations and zoning classifications. As such,

Orange County shall, in conjunction with a transect-based approach, use Conceptual

Regulating Plans (CRP), the Innovation Way (IW) Future Land Use map designation,

and Innovation Way Planned-Development-Regulating Plans (IW-PD-RP) to

implement the long range planning vision for Innovation Way. Proposed Future

Land Use Map amendments and rezonings in the Innovation Way Overlay, except as

permitted by FLU5.1.1 and OBJ FLU5.14, must follow the process as outlined in the

associated policies.

FLU5.1.3 Implementation General Process. Development within the Innovation Way Overlay



requires a Future Land Use Map designation of Innovation Way (IW) and a zoning

designation of Innovation Way-Planned Development-Regulating Plan (IW-PD-RP). A

Conceptual Regulating Plan shall be submitted in conjunction with a Future Land

Use Map amendment application to change the underlying future land use map

designation to IW. The requested Future Land Use Map designation to IW must be

approved by the Orange County Board of County Commissioners and processed as a

Comprehensive Plan amendment pursuant to Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. A

rezoning to IW-PD-RP is also required and may be processed concurrently with a

Future Land Use Map amendment. A PD-Regulating Plan shall be submitted in

conjunction with a rezoning application to IW-PD-RP, and must be approved by the

Orange County Board of County Commissioners. Future Land Use Map amendment

and rezoning applications shall be submitted in accordance with the established

application submittal requirements.

FLU5.1.4 Innovation Way Study. Future Land Use Map amendments and Rezonings shall

make reference to the Innovation Way Economic Development and Resource

Management Study, dated December 15, 2005 (The Innovation Way Study) as a

non-binding resource to define the purpose and intent of the Overlay. The

Innovation Way Study serves as a tool to guide decision making and interpretation

of the Future Land Use map amendments and land development code as it relates

to the Innovation Way Overlay.

The vision for the Innovation Way Overlay incorporates the high-technology corridor

concept and includes protection of ecologically important lands. This balancing of

high technology/high value economic development with environmental protection

requires innovative urban form, multimodal transportation concepts and

infrastructure, and sustainable development practices.

FLU5.1.5 Implementation and Transect-Based Approach. Transect-based planning shall be

used to design complete communities requiring walkable streets, mix of uses,

transportation options, and housing diversity. Transect-based planning and

incremental urbanism allows for communities to evolve sustainably over

generations. The IW-PD-RP shall identify and locate transects and districts to

ensure the basis for a complete neighborhood structure within which a

development program is planned that includes a mix of residential and non-

residential uses and furthers the Innovation Way vision. Development programs are

based on the net developable land area which excludes natural water bodies and

conservation (wetland) areas. The Innovation Way transect zones and

corresponding Innovation Way districts are outlined in FLU5.1.5A and FLU5.1.5B,

respectively.



FLU5.1.5.A The Innovation Way transects shall be defined for the Innovation Way Overlay and

shall be used as a mechanism to allow development to increase in complexity,

density, and intensity over a period of years.

1. T-1 (Transect Zone -1) Natural Zone (NZ) includes lands approximating or

reverting to a wilderness condition, including lands unsuitable for settlement

due to topography, hydrology or vegetation.

2. T-2 (Transect Zone-2) Rural Development Zone (RDZ) includes sparsely settled

lands in open or cultivated state. These include woodland, agricultural land,

grassland. Typical buildings are single-family detached dwellings, farmhouses,

and agricultural buildings that are designed consistent with other Innovation

Way policies. The RDZ is intended to provide a transition from rural to urban,

and, as such, may be located within the Urban Service Area.

3. T-3 (Transect Zone-3) Innovation Way Low-Medium Density Zone (IW-LMDZ)

includes lower density neighborhood development beyond the boundaries of

the TSAC and IWAC zones, but not within the Rural Development or Natural

zones.

4. T-4 (Transect Zone-4) Medium Density Zone (IW-MDZ) includes a full range of

medium density/intensity residential, commercial and workplace uses that

serve the daily needs of residents and employees from nearby neighborhoods

and workplaces. When located in conjunction with a T-5 zone, the T-4 zone will

occupy an area between 1/4 to 1/2 mile radius from the transit

station/discernible center identified on the IW-PD-RP.. When the T-4 zone is

established without a companion T-5 zone, the Activity Center will occupy an

area within one-half mile of a discernible center.

5. T-5 (Transect Zone-5) Transit Station Area Core (TSAC) includes a full range of

high density/intensity residential, commercial and workplace uses intended to

support a high level of transit service in the future. The TSAC includes an area

within one-quarter mile of a discernable center that may include a transit

station, central park or open space, or other development/feature that is

identified as the center of the TSAC on the IW-PD-RP.

6. T-SD (Transect Zone - Special District) provides the opportunity to plan an area

for one or more types of uses in a unified manner. Such uses may include, but

are not limited to high-tech/clean tech industrial parks, medical/research



catalytic parks, tourist/resort centers, and major public works activities.

Generally, T-SD zones will include uses that by their function, disposition, or

configuration cannot, or should not, conform to one or more of the five

Innovation Way normative Transect Zones.

FLU5.1.5.B The Innovation Way districts provide the means to implement the transect based

policies through the identification of a variety of urban or rural development

standards that address land use, transportation, green infrastructure, utility, site

design and permitting procedures. The Innovation Way districts will function to

ensure a compatible transition from rural to urban and facilitate a mix of uses that

support multi-modal transportation. With the exception of Special Districts, all

other districts are intended to be located within a transect zone with which it is

compatible.

1. Transit Station Area Cores(TSAC) are consistent with the T-5 transect zone and

are connected to each other by way of an Innovation Way Multi-modal

Transportation Network. These centers are generally located where access is

provided through at least one of the Multimodal Corridors, and has been

identified as a location to be served by a high-capacity transit service. High

tech/clean industry jobs shall be located in the TSAC consistent with the Jobs to

Housing Linkage Ordinance. Other permitted uses include support

commercial/retail, personal and business services, office, light

industrial/research, hotel, high-density residential, civic, and parks/open space.

Walkable blocks and compact high density/intensity mixed use development

characterize this type of district. Vertical mixing of uses shall be highly

encouraged within the TSACs. The average perimeter of blocks within each

(TSAC) shall be sized to achieve a 5-minute walk.

2. Town Centers and Innovation Way Activity Center districts are consistent with

the T-4 transect zone and are intended to include a variety of uses that support

the daily needs of residents within adjoining neighborhoods. When collocated

with a TSAC district, the IWAC shall be the appropriate district to provide the

land uses necessary to support high capacity transit service. Alternatively, when

located independently of a TSAC zone, the Town Center district shall be the

appropriate option and be located with multimodal access serving the civic,

commercial and personal service needs of a larger market area. These districts

shall provide a place for a mix of residential, office, retail, light industrial uses,

and high tech/clean tech uses at a scale that should not be permitted in the T-3

(Transect Zone-3). IWAC and Town Center districts must be designed to

encourage and accommodate linkage with the regional transit system and must

provide for connections to, and be integrated with, the collector streets and



pedestrian and bike path systems. The average perimeter of blocks within each

Town Center and IWAC shall be sized to achieve a 5 to 10-minute walk.

3. The Neighborhood district is consistent with the T-3 transect zone and is

intended to be walkable, highly connected by streets, trails and pedestrian

paths, and adequately served by parks and open space. Standards and

requirements for neighborhood development will vary based on several criteria

including the mix of housing types provided, overall residential density,

inclusion of non-residential uses permitted by location, and placement of

dwellings relative to street frontages. The following policy elements provide

direction for standards that will be developed for inclusion in an Innovation Way

Sustainable Development Code and the Regulating Plans for individual

Innovation Way projects.

a. Individual neighborhoods should be sized so that dwellings are generally

within a maximum five-minute walk of a central focal point or neighborhood

node.

b. Developments within neighborhoods that are proposed to develop within a

density range of 6-10 dwellings per net developable acre should be located

in close proximity to a neighborhood node, or a location that would serve as

a transition between a T-3 zone and T-4 or T-5 zone.

c. An elementary school site shall be provided for each 2,500 dwellings and

school sites should be centrally located to serve up to four (4) typical

neighborhoods.

d. Each Neighborhood may contain a maximum of one Neighborhood Node,

but shall be required to include a central neighborhood focal point in a form

determined through the adopted Regulating Plan Residential

Neighborhoods can be clustered particularly in proximity to the transit

corridors.

e. Neighborhoods shall not be gated and perimeter walls will not be

permitted.

f. Neighborhoods should be planned with at least seventy-five (75) percent of

the blocks having a perimeter length that does not exceed a distance

associated with a ten-minute walk

4. Neighborhood Nodes may contain a mix of neighborhood serving commercial,

business personal service, and civic uses to provide for daily commercial and

service needs of a residential neighborhood. Neighborhood retail and office

uses shall be characterized by small-scale units, organized in compact nodes,

designed to be visually compatible with surrounding development. The

following standards shall apply to Neighborhood Nodes:



Centrally located and grouped as nodes of non-residential or mixed-use

development easily accessible on foot or by bicycle to neighborhood

residents;

Use type and size shall be limited to neighborhood scale commercial,

personal service and civic uses, which are designed primarily to serve the

needs of residents and/or employees within the immediate area;

Residential uses shall be encouraged to be built above ground floor

commercial or office uses;

Designs shall incorporate access to transit, and bicycle-related facilities; and

Additional standards regarding design, specific use types, size, and location

criteria, shall be adopted in the land development code to ensure

compatibility with surrounding development and consistency with the

urban development patterns envisioned for the Innovation Way Overlay.

FLU5.1.6 Within the Innovation Way Overlay, each IW-PD-RP adopted after November 11,

2014 shall identify the Innovation Way transect zones, districts, and uses and shall

contribute to accomplishing an overall mix of residential and non-residential uses.

The following correlation table shall be used in connection with the evaluation of a

proposed development’s consistency and compatibility with the Innovation Way

Overlay policies, the conceptual development framework depicted on Future Land

Use Map Series Map 4, and the Innovation Way Regulating Plan Structure

document.

OBJ FLU5.2 Innovation Way FLUM and IW-PD-RP. The approval of development in the

Innovation Way Overlay, shall require an IW Future Land Use Map designation and

an approved IW-PD Regulating Plan, which determines the adopted boundaries and

location of the transect zones. The proposed location of the transects is illustrated

on the CRP during the Future Land Use Map amendment process and finalized in the

approved IW-PD-RP. Nothing in this policy is intended to supersede the exceptions

as outlined in FLU5.1.1 and OBJ FLU5.14 and the associated policies.

FLU5.2.1 Innovation Way Future Land Use Map Amendment. A Future Land Use Map

amendment for properties within the Innovation Way Overlay shall require the

following:

A. Conceptual Regulating Plan (CRP): The CRP is a general and illustrative

representation of the proposed development and location of transects, and

is precursory to the IW-PD-RP. The CRP is provided during the transmittal

phase of the Future Land Use Map amendment application and review

process, and will be refined throughout the review process. When a CRP is

approved by the Board of County Commissioners, the net developable land

area allocated for urban development by the CRP shall be counted against

the amount of additional land identified by FLU1.2.4. The following items

shall be depicted on the CRP or included with as an attachment:

1. General location of transect zones



2. Location of existing and planned major roadways, trails or other

transportation modes that are included in the applicable Innovation

Way Transportation Term Sheet

3. General location of public school sites and a copy of the application

for a Capacity Enhancement Agreement with Orange County Public

Schools

4. Identify amount of net developable land area for each transect zone

5. Proposed development program

6. Environmental Land Stewardship Program lands

7. Existing and/or planned potable water, sanitary sewer and/or

reclaimed water utility corridors

B. Transportation Analysis: Prior to submittal of an application for IW FLUM or

IW PD, a pre-application meeting shall be required with the Transportation

Planning Division to determine the methodology required for the traffic

study. The traffic study shall be submitted in accordance with the deadlines

for the associated IW FLUM and will serve as the data and analysis for the

requisite Multi-modal Transportation Network Agreement.

C. Environmental Land Stewardship: Identification of the amount and type of

land to be dedicated to Orange County to satisfy the requirements of the

Environmental Land Stewardship Program, consistent with Ordinance 2010-

04. Data must be based on professionally acceptable standards and analysis

and identification of ELSP lands consistent with the following sources: the

Innovation Way Study, Florida Natural Areas Inventory, St. Johns River and

South Florida Water Management District Databases, Florida Land Use

Cover Classification Systems, National Soil Conservation Service, Federal

Emergency Management Agency, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation

Commission Habitat Model Data, and specific site indicators such as

topography, vegetation, soils data, floodplain information, and other field

observations.

D. Jobs-to-Housing Balance Analysis: Identification of the number and type of

planned jobs, by land use category, to satisfy the requirements of the Jobs

to Housing Linkage Program ordinance and policies of the Comprehensive

Plan.

E. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The justification statement

should identify relevant Comprehensive Plan policies and explain how the

proposed request is consistent with the identified policies. Any privately-

initiated text amendments related to the application should also be



included and explained as part of the justification statement. Proposals for

privately-initiated text amendments must also include an evaluation of

consistency with the Comprehensive Plan.

F. Infrastructure and Public Services: Development within Innovation Way is

subject to the requirements of Orange County’s Concurrency Ordinance and

the Capital Improvements Element.

G. Coordinated Development: Although there is separate property ownership

within the Innovation Way Overlay, planning for development will occur in a

coordinated, comprehensive, and integrated manner. The CRP will establish

a general guide for connectivity and coordinated development.

H. Community Meetings/Public Participation: A minimum of two community

meetings/public workshops shall be held. All workshops are subject to the

County’s notification requirements. The County maintains the discretion to

require additional community meetings/workshops as part of the

application review process.

Future Land Use Map Amendment: The first community meeting is intended

to provide an overview of the proposed change and to present the

proposed development program and CRP and receive feedback from

residents and property owners.

Rezoning/Planned Development Regulating Plan: The purpose of the second

community meeting is to present the IW PD-RP which should incorporate

and acknowledge the community input received on the CRP.

Previous Submittals: If a Future Land Use Map amendment application was

previously submitted to the County for review and workshops were held

consistent with the requirements of the Comprehensive Plan policies

requiring a Detailed Area Plan, only one workshop is necessary to explain

the proposed revisions from the previous submittal. If the Comprehensive

Plan amendment and IW-PD-RP are not processed concurrently, however,

the County shall require an additional community meeting when the PD-

Regulating Plan is submitted.

FLU5.2.2 The IW-PD-RP requires the following during the rezoning phase of a proposed

development in Innovation Way:



A. Regulating Plan: The Regulating Plan shall finalize the specific transect

locations and establish detailed development performance standards. The

performance standards in the regulating plan shall be consistent with the

Innovation Way Regulating Plan Structure Guide and, at a minimum, address

the following:

1. Classification of streets/street hierarchy

2. Location, boundaries and land area of transect zones

3. Location, boundaries and land area for land use districts within the

respective transect zones

4. Block and intersection density standards within the transect zones

5. Open space requirements

6. Identification of ELSP lands

7. Maximum building heights by districts/transects

8. Building frontage and placement standards

9. Landscape and streetscape requirements

10. Proposed location of major infrastructure components including

water, wastewater, reclaimed water and stormwater

11. General location of public school sites

12. General location and size of proposed parks and open space based

on development standards and park and open space types

13. Storm water management and low impact development standards

and facilities where appropriate

14. General location of police substations, fire stations, and government

buildings (if any)

B. Planned Development-Land Use Plan: The IW-PD-RP shall be used as a

mechanism to facilitate coordinated development that allows for a transit-

ready development pattern and a comprehensive provision of infrastructure

and services within the Innovation Way Overlay.

C. Development Program: The proposed development program shall be

included and adopted as part of the IW-PD-RP. The development program

shall be substantially consistent with the program submitted with the CRP

and approved with the IW FLUM amendment, with revisions necessary to

reflect any changes to the boundaries of transect zones or as required for

consistency with the provisions of the Regulating Plan and required

Agreements.

D. Connectivity: All development within the Innovation Way Overlay shall

provide for an interconnected transportation network. The intersection

density shall range between 100 and 140 intersections per square mile.

Compliance with the intersection density requirements shall be a condition

placed on the IW-PD-RP and subsequent PSPs, DPs and amendments to the

IW-PD-RP must meet the intersection density requirements.



E. Infrastructure Agreements: To facilitate coordinated roadways, utilities, and

school locations, the following is required prior to or concurrent with the

adoption of the IW-PD-RP:

1. OCPS Capacity Enhancement or Mitigation Agreement

2. Roadway Agreement

3. Adequate Public Facilities Agreement for sheriff, fire, utilities,

parks and recreation

4. Prior to approval of the IW-PD-RP, the developer shall meet with

Orange County Utilities to discuss connection points for water,

wastewater, and reclaimed water.

F. Environmental Land Stewardship Program Compliance: Proposed ELSP lands

shall be identified on the PD-IW-RP. If a proposed stewardship land is either

partially or completely within the Econlockhatchee Basin, the land to be

protected or development rights to be dedicated shall be uplands within or

abutting the River Protection Zone as defined by Chapter 15, Article XI.

Section 15-443(1), as amended from time to time.

FLU5.2.3 Changes to and Consistency with an existing CRP. Upon adoption of a

Comprehensive Plan Amendment establishing a CRP , any addition or deletion of

property or substantial changes to the CRP boundaries shall be processed as an

amendment to the Comprehensive Plan and shall include an evaluation and analysis

of the impacts to the approved or planned land uses, overall densities, adequate

public facilities, green belts, schools and other general urban community principles

and the ability to meet the conceptual prototypical urban form size and density

requirements. Subject to approval by the Board of County Commissioners, the uses

within any particular IW-PD-RP may vary in arrangement from the adopted CRP,

provided that the overall density for the CRP continues to meet or exceed the

minimum density requirements specified in Policies FLU5.1.6 and FLU5.1.7.

Approval of variations shall be based on consistency with the CRP, Map 4 of the

Future Land Use Map Series, and the Innovation Way policies. The process for the

review or approval of those variations shall be established in the Innovation Way

land development code.

FLU5.2.4 Each CRP shall indicate the timing for the provision of adequate public facilities such

as school sites, rights-of-way, utility facilities and parks/trails consistent with

requirements in Chapter 163, F.S. In addition, the CRP shall demonstrate how it is

consistent with the County’s Econlockhatchee River Protection regulations.

OBJ FLU5.3 HOUSING. Orange County will promote the provision of workforce housing units within the Study Area to ensure a diverse mix of housing types and prices. Granny flats and garage apartments will not be included in unit or density calculations. Loft apartments and rental units over retail or office may be considered for an



exemption from unit calculations for density purposes as a substantial change request to the IW-PD-RP. The criteria for consideration will include: proposed rental rates that ensure low income affordability for a majority of the units affected by the change request (as determined through the Affordable Housing Methodology adopted by the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council); the method of ensuring that the rental rates qualifying the low income affordable units will be maintained for a minimum of ten years from date of issuance of certificate of occupancy; the number of units; and, location preferably within a T-4 or T-5 transect zone Any exemptions associated with this objective do not pertain to school impact calculations or school impact fees.

FLU5.3.1 All IW-PD-RPs shall include provisions ensuring an adequate number of workforce

housing units. Such provisions may include, but are not limited to, requiring a

specific percentage and mix of affordable housing units, housing trust funds, linkage

fee or other appropriate mechanisms.

FLU5.3.3 Consistent with the adopted Orange County Workforce Housing Task Force Report

(May 22, 2007), Planned Developments within Innovation Way shall provide a

minimum of ten (10) percent of their total housing inventory in the form of

workforce housing, of which at least 50% shall be rental workforce housing, as

defined by the County. Until the County develops provisions for preserving the

affordability of the workforce housing units, these provisions shall be incorporated

as conditions to the planned development.

OBJ FLU5.4 ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT. To ensure that viable environmental communities are sustained during and after development, Orange County has developed a Natural Resources Conservation Program that includes adoption of an Environmental Land Stewardship Program for the Innovation Way Study Area for key environmental features and existing protected areas. Key unprotected areas have been identified for protection through mechanisms including development buffers, acquisition, conservation easement, and/or requiring that all development use ecologically friendly design at the neighborhood level by promoting conservation, creating nature trails and boardwalks, providing educational opportunities, and promoting expedited design reviews for projects that are environmentally friendly. Designs will create a friendlier pedestrian environment (walking and biking), create a wider variety of active and passive recreational uses, maintain large patches of natural vegetation, and minimize fragmentation of natural resources. Designs will maintain viable habitat areas to include natural vegetation, transitioning through passive uses, and avoid fragmentation of natural resources.

FLU5.4.1 Orange County’s land development code will be amended, if applicable, by July 1,

2016 to consider and implement appropriate mechanisms to preserve Ecologically

Important Lands through acquisition and/or conservation easements. Ecologically

Important Lands are defined as lands, with a qualifying environmental characteristic



or function based on scientific data or study. Lands that should be protected

include key wildlife corridors and key habitat, which are defined as follows:

contiguous stands of natural plant communities that have the potential to support

healthy and diverse populations of plants and animals, including, but not limited to,

state and federal Threatened and Endangered Species of Special Concern. Orange

County has addressed the protection of state and federal Threatened and

Endangered Species and Species of Special Concern with the implementation of

Objective FLU5.5 and the underlying policies.

FLU5.4.2 The County will collaborate with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation

Commission (FFWCC) to develop site development standards that promote

preservation of wildlife during construction and focus on the provision of useable

habitat post-development. Such site development standards shall include but are

not limited to monitoring, low voltage lighting, berms, and fencing. Post-

construction measures may include, but are not limited to native plantings, low

voltage lights, berms, fencing and controlled burns. This policy will be implemented

through the amendment of the land development code by July 1, 2016.

FLU5.4.3 Orange County will collaborate with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation

Commission, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), the Orlando-Orange County

Expressway Authority, and Florida Department of Transportation to establish

development standards to ensure that wildlife crossings are provided at public

roads that cross river systems, wetlands, and other potential wildlife corridors. This

policy will be implemented through the amendment of the land development code

by July 1, 2016. To facilitate these wildlife crossings, Orange County shall require

appropriately sized crossings and fencing to direct species to the crossings.

FLU5.4.4 Orange County will continue to use the County’s clustering policies to encourage the

preservation of native uplands and to further minimize wetland and floodplain

impacts.

FLU5.4.5 Orange County shall identify density zones through the CRP and IW-PD-RP approval

process that establish appropriate densities for lands abutting the Econlockhatchee

River Corridor and other regionally significant wetland/environmentally sensitive

areas. The density zones would be implemented through continued use of

appropriate low density type land use designations (e.g., 1 DU/acre), clustering

and/or through environmental overlay areas. Density and intensity of development

permitted on parcels or property wholly or partially within the corridor are

encouraged to concentrate or cluster on the most landward portions of the parcel

or parcels.



FLU5.4.12 The County shall consider amending the land development code by July 1, 2016 to

require upland buffers for environmentally sensitive areas within the Innovation

Way Study Area and determine the appropriate criteria for such buffers, which may

be similar to those used in the Econlockhatchee River Protection Area.

FLU5.4.13 Orange County will continue to coordinate with the Water Management Districts on

all development approvals to ensure the continued protection of the water quality

standards of the Econlockhatchee River as an Outstanding Florida Water.

FLU5.4.14 To promote wildlife usage and corridors, all proposed development within the

Innovation Way Study Area shall incorporate the use of native vegetation in the

landscaping. The land development code will be amended by July 1, 2016, to

implement this policy.

OBJ FLU5.5 ENVIRONMENTAL LAND STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM. In fulfillment of Objective

FLU5.4, the following Environmental Land Stewardship Program is established to ensure that a viable network of environmentally sensitive lands is sustained during and after development of approved sites within Innovation Way.

FLU5.5.1 The Program shall include measures to ensure perpetual protection of certain

ecologically important lands within the Innovation Way Study Area consistent with

the principles of the ELSP. These lands include conservation areas, certain

developable areas, stewardship lands and preservation areas. The Innovation Way

ELSP Conceptual Map 2009 is a guiding document that conceptually shows the

location of lands to be included in the ESLP, project by project. The proposed

boundaries of stewardship lands shall be identified by a sketch and on all CRPs and

IW-PD-RPs, Applications for Development Approval (ADA)/ Development of Regional

Impact (DRI), construction approvals and applicable regulatory permits. The review

process for these applications shall refine the amount and type of land or

development rights that will be required to be dedicated to Orange County or

County-approved entity.

FLU5.5.2 Orange County shall coordinate with the owners of land within the Innovation Way

Study Area to establish alternative uses consistent with the goals of Innovation Way

and the Program. Such alternative uses may include, but are not limited to:

1. Option agreements for sale to public entities or recognized conservation-related

land acquisition agencies. These agreements may be in the form of fee simple

ownership or conservation easement;

2. Stewardship lands may be used as passive recreation and open space if

designed in an environmentally friendly manner; and

3. Use of stewardship lands as recipient sites for gopher tortoises and/or other

protected species.



FLU5.5.3 All property owners seeking a, CRP and/or IW-PD-RP, DRI Development Order (DO),

or rezoning within the Innovation Way Study Area, must commit to the protection

of stewardship lands or dedicate suitable lands to the County or a County-approved

conservation-related public or private entity. The proposed stewardship lands also

shall be reflected on all relevant rezoning applications. If the proposed stewardship

land is either partially or completely within the Econlockhatchee Basin, the land to

be protected or development rights to be dedicated shall be uplands within or

abutting the River Protection Zone as defined by Chapter 15, Article XI, Section 15-

443(1), as amended from time to time.

FLU5.5.4 The Innovation Way ELSP Conceptual Map 2009, is hereby incorporated into the

Future Land Use Element Map Series as Map 20.

OBJ FLU5.6 Green Infrastructure. Orange County shall develop a coordinated Green Infrastructure program for Innovation Way to address requirements for the provision of parks and open space, stormwater management and low impact development practices, energy conservation, and site lighting.

FLU5.6.1 Orange County will amend the land development code by July 1, 2016 2010. to

include “Green Development” practices to guide sustainable development, such as,

but not limited to the Florida Green Development Designation Standard, innovative

mechanisms to preserve environmentally sensitive areas that consider development

siting and land use issues; energy conservation; water; and, energy- and resource-

efficient products.

FLU5.6.2 Orange County shall develop education programs and requirements for Innovation

Way that encourage xeric and waterwise landscaping and other water conservation

measures. The County will, through development approvals and regulation changes,

minimize the amount of impervious surface area for development in the Innovation

Way Study Area.

FLU5.6.3 Master planning stormwater requirements shall be the preferred method to address

the permitting requirements of Orange County and the South Florida Water

Management District. Wherever feasible, stormwater facilities should be located

and sized to accommodate stormwater from multiple basins. Joint use stormwater

facilities intended to serve drainage requirements associated with major

thoroughfares as well as adjoining development should also be planned to provide

the maximum benefits associated with master planning. It is the County’s desire to

reduce the number of stormwater facilities for which maintenance is required, and

to increase opportunities to utilize master planned facilities as site amenities and as

focal points for development within Innovation Way.



FLU5.6.4 The use of Low Impact Development (LID) practices will be encouraged by Orange

County, particularly for basins that drain to an impaired water body for which a

BMAP is applicable and for land use districts that are intended for intense

residential and non-residential development. LID practices should be utilized, at a

minimum, to improve water quality of receiving bodies, limit the amount of gray

infrastructure required, and to reduce the amount of post development stormwater

discharge.

FLU5.6.5 Parks and open space shall be provided for use by residents, employees, and the

general public for many different functions, requiring a range of sizes and types. All

parks shall be connected to each other by the network of sidewalks, trails, and

streets. These spaces should be integrated into the fabric of the community along

with other public infrastructure systems such as streets, utilities, and stormwater

drainage. Therefore, a multitude of parks of different size and character is better

than a small number of larger parks. Different elements of each park fall along a

spectrum as described below and standards for these elements will be developed

and included in the Regulating Plans for Innovation Way planned developments:

Design ranging from formal to informal;

Use ranging from active to passive;

Activities ranging from planned and structured to spontaneous and

unstructured; and,

Sizes ranging from tiny to expansive.

FLU5.6.5.1 In order to accommodate a wide range of park sizes and types, all development

within Innovation Way land use districts shall provide park space classified in the

following levels:

A. Level 1 – Adequate Public Facilities (APF) Parks – APF parks are intended to be

community-scale parks with a target size of at least twenty (20) acres,

representing three to five percent of developable land within the T-3, T-4 and T-

5 zones established within an Innovation Way project area. The locations of APF

parks are identified as part of the IW-PD-RP. These parks are intended to be

scaled and designed to ultimately fall under County ownership and maintenance

and they are included in an “Adequate Public Facilities Agreement”.

B. Level 2 – District Parks – This level of parks is intended to serve day-to-day park

needs, provide for spatial community organization and link homes, offices and

workplaces with outdoor spaces. These park types shall make up at least seven

(7) percent of the net developable acreage of a land use district, and their type

and location will be determined based on a service radius linked to the size of

the park and other criteria as defined in the standards associated with the IW-

PD-RP. These parks shall be owned and maintained by a Home Owners’



Association or other similar entity.

OBJ FLU5.7 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. Orange County shall promote economic development within Innovation Way through strategic job creation linkages to the University of Central Florida and Medical City/Orlando International Airport and the provision of incentives to attract High-Tech/Clean-Tech industries. These actions are intended to create economic diversification and increased average annual salaries while making Orange County a recognized national leader in merging development need with transportation system availability and environmental sustainability.

FLU5.7.1 All lands located within the Innovation Way Overlay (Map 4 of the Future Land Use

Map Series) and designated on the Future Land Use Map as Innovation Way or

Innovation Way Activity Center shall collectively be responsible for insuring that a

balance of housing and jobs is achieved. Lands included within the designated

areas will be subject to: jobs-to-housing balance and high-tech/clean-tech targets;

requirements for the type, location and timing of jobs required to satisfy the

targets; and, program implementation options.

FLU5.7.2 By July 1, 2016, Orange County will develop a program that includes: incentives to

promote Innovation Way as a premiere high-tech/clean-tech community; the

identification of public/private partnership opportunities for infrastructure planning

and development supporting sites intended for high-tech/clean-tech industries; and,

a target industry analysis of high-tech/clean tech companies that provides a

framework for economic development strategies designed to attract and site such

industries. Orange County will coordinate with affected property owners in the

development of the program.

FLU5.7.3 Orange County shall develop programs that provide expedited site and

development plan review for Innovation Way development proposals that include

high-tech/clean-tech users, similar to the expedited development review process

used for certified affordable housing projects. Orange County shall coordinate with

appropriate state or regional entities in the expedited processing of approvals and

permits for high tech/clean-tech uses.

OBJ FLU5.12 WATER, WASTEWATER, AND RECLAIMED WATER. Orange County will provide a reliable water supply for the Innovation Way Study Area and will provide adequate wastewater treatment capacities.

FLU5.12.2 Orange County will require connection to central water, wastewater and reclaimed

water collection and transmission infrastructure for all new development approved,



pursuant to Policy FLU5.2.11.

FLU5.12.3 Water, wastewater, and reclaimed water transmission and collection infrastructure shall

be sized to accommodate the ultimate flows at build-out associated with each Future

Land Use Map Amendment Area (i.e. Starwood, ICP, IWE, and Camino Real). Sizes and

connection points to existing utilities shall be in accordance with a detailed Master

Utility Plan approved by Orange County Utilities. Water, wastewater and reclaimed

water systems shall be designed to facilitate future extensions.

development may qualify for designation as an Urban Center MMTD, Regional Center MMTD, or Village MMTD provided it generally conforms to the characteristics of that

category as specified below:

1. Urban Center. The Urban Center MMTD is characterized by intense development

and major employment supported by residential uses that produce a significant amount of multimodal activity because walking, bicycling, and transit are more

convenient than using the automobile. This category is typically reserved for

existing urban core or downtown areas.

2. Regional Center. The Regional Center MMTD is characterized by a significant area of development that is smaller than an Urban Center and provides

convenient daily retail and personal service within walking distance of

surrounding residential areas. This category is typically most appropriate for newly developing areas and proposed or existing activity centers other than

urban core areas.

3. Village. The Village MMTD is characterized as a traditional “Main Street”

community organized around a focal point with a sense of community identity. This category is typically applied to historic neighborhoods or smaller town

environments with a main street.

A. B Financial Feasibility. MMTNs MMTD shall be approved only in conjunction

with the approval of financially feasible plans for bicycle, pedestrian and transit systems that reduce reliance on automobiles for access and internal circulation.

B. C Preservation of SIS Facilities. Proposed MMTNs MMTD shall not significantly

degrade the adopted level of service standards for facilities designated as part of the

Florida Strategic Intermodal System – major arterial roadways that have the primary function of moving high volumes of statewide and regional traffic – without

2

appropriate mitigation. Any impacts outside the MMTN MMTD shall be mitigated

within the MMTN MMTD to the extent possible.

C. D Required Design Elements. Proposed MMTNs MMTD shall exhibit the following community design elements:

1. An interconnected network of streets and paths designed to encourage walking and bicycle use, with traffic calming where desirable;

2. A complementary mix and range of land uses, including residential, employment, educational, recreational and cultural;

3. Appropriate densities and intensities of land use within walking distance of transit

stops;

4. Daily activities within walking distance of residences and public uses, streets and

squares that are safe, comfortable and attractive for the pedestrian, with adjoining buildings open to the street and parking designed so as not to interfere

with all transportation modes.

T2.5.2 Organization of Land Uses. Each MMTD or Subdistrict will provide for an appropriate

density, intensity and mix of land uses to support multimodal transportation. Performance standards for Innovation Way Subdistricts and land uses are found in

Policies FLU5.1.5 through FLU5.1.8 in the Future Land Use Element.

A. Transit Station Area Core (TSAC), which shall extend ¼ mile walking distance from a

passenger rail station, bus station and/or transit superstop and contain the highest densities and intensities of land use in an MMTD or Subdistrict and be located along

a major arterial at key crossings of perpendicular routes (generally minor arterials or

collectors, or transit service routes) or on one side of a major arterial along roadway facilities parallel or perpendicular to the major arterial.

B. Medium Density Subdistrict (MDS) surrounding the central core area shall extend

between ¼ and ½ mile walking distance from a passenger rail station, bus station or

transit superstop, in which densities may decline but shall have sufficient densities and intensities to support transit use.

C. Low-Medium Density Subdistrict (LMDS) in which lower densities are permitted shall

be located beyond the 1/2-mile walking boundary. (Added 09/11, Ord. 2009-28)

T2.5.3 Relationship to Major Thoroughfares. MMTD shall be planned in a manner that

maximizes internal circulation and minimizes conflicts on the major arterial roadways that have the primary function of moving high volumes of statewide and regional traffic.

Where such roadways are included in a MMTD, an appropriate number of safe pedestrian

crossings per mile shall be provided, based on surrounding land use context.

T2.5.4 Transportation Quality/Level of Service.

A. Orange County establishes the following minimum quality/level of service standards

for transit, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities and roadways within an MMTN MMTD. LOS shall be measured in accordance with the methodology established in the FDOT

network of local and collector streets that supports walking, bicycling, and transit use, while avoiding excessive automobile through traffic in residential neighborhoods. , in

accordance with the following:

A. The street network shall be comprised of a system of interconnected and direct

routes with a connectivity index of 50 or more polygons per square mile.

The connectivity index is calculated by identifying all street facilities and then drawing polygons over the complete network. The higher the number of closed

polygons, the greater the connectivity.

B. For MMTD with a street connectivity index less than 50, the missing links in the

street network shall be identified and eliminated where feasible through the development and capital improvement process.

C. Each MMTD shall be subject to a maximum block length, which will be adopted in the land development code (LDC), to advance connectivity as development and

redevelopment occurs, except where additional spacing is required to comply with FDOT or Orange County access management standards and unless the developer

demonstrates that a block length must be greater due to the existence of one or

both of the following conditions:

1. Physical conditions, buildings or other existing development on adjacent lands physically preclude a block length below the maximum; or,

2. An existing public street terminating at the boundary of the development site has a block length exceeding the maximum, or is situated such that the extension of

established and identified on the Future Land Use Map as a Multimodal

11

Transportation Network District for the purpose of promoting walking,

bicycling and transit use and reducing dependence on the automobile.

POLICIES

T2.6.1 The Innovation Way MMTD is comprised of Subdistricts. Development within Innovation

Way that is proceeding substantially in accordance with a Development Order approved prior to June 13, 2006, shall be exempt from the design requirements of the MMTN

MMTD. Such exemption shall not relieve the developer from meeting all conditions of approval in the Development Order. In other areas of Innovation Way, development will

be guided by a Regulating Plan that describes each transect and associated development

requirements.

T2.6.2 Each Innovation Way MMTD Subdistrict shall follow the design principles of:

recreational and cultural;

Appropriate densities and intensities of land uses within walking distance of transit

stops;

Daily activities within walking distance of residences and public uses, streets and

squares that are safe, comfortable and attractive for the pedestrian, with adjoining buildings open to the street and parking designed so as not to interfere with all

transportation modes.

T2.6.3 Transit Station or Superstop. Streets within this ½ mile shall have the shortest block

length, widest sidewalks, and highest level of pedestrian amenities in the Subdistrict.

T2.6.4 Street Function and Type. Characteristics shall be appropriate to Innovation Way’s

context and multimodal planning objectives, as described below and in corresponding roadway network agreements, as applicable. Additional street types will be are defined in

the Innovation Way Code.

Innovation Way: Two spine roads, limited to 4 travel lanes with a planned

dedicated transit envelope and 8 to 1210 -foot wide multi-purpose paths on both

sides.

Four-Lane Avenue: Roadways shall be limited to four travel lanes and may include

wide sidewalks, on-street parking, and enhanced features for pedestrians, bicyclists,

and transit users.

T2.6.5 Street Intersections. Intersections are the primary location for pedestrian crossing of streets. Curb extensions (bulb-out) shorten crossing distances and provide sidewalk

space for curb ramps and landings. Installing curb extensions physically deters parking at

intersections corners and improves the visibility of pedestrians.

A. Bulb-out intersection corners shall be used on all streets that have a parking

lane, except where longer turning radii are required for frequent truck traffic.

B. Where larger radii are required, consideration shall be given to alternative paving

to simulate a small turning radius.

C. In commercial areas, crosswalks shall be marked by paving that is clearly

different from the street paving.

T2.6.6 Dimensional Standards (setbacks, height, lot coverage). All uses in the Innovation Way MMTD shall comply with the dimensional standards set forth in the LDC. The

standards shall address maximum building length, minimum first floor ceiling height, setbacks, lot coverage and space between buildings, and building and street wall

12

requirements.

TRANSMITTAL PUBLIC HEARING JULY 18, 2014

Amendment 2014-2-C-CP-1 Innovation Way Policies (Strike-through version)

1

GOAL FLU5 INNOVATION WAY. Orange County continues to recognize the importance of a diverse local economy and the need to protect sensitive resources,

specifically as they relate to high tech/clean tech high value jobs and the protection and preservation of the Econlockhatchee River Basin within the

Innovation Way Overlay. The Innovation Way Overlay is illustrated on MAP 4 of the Future Land Use Map Series. on map 4 of the Future Land Use Map

Series – Innovation Way Scenario 5 Conceptual Plan [also known as the

Innovation Way Economic Development and Environmental Resource Management Study – Development Scenario 5, previously adopted as

Exhibit B (Ordinance 2006-8)]. The Innovation Way Overlay is bordered by the Beachline Expressway on the north, the Osceola County/Orange

County boundary on the south, Narcoossee Road and SR 417 on the west

and the Econlockhatchee River channel on the east. (revised)

OBJ FLU5.1 Innovation Way Overlay LAND USE AND URBAN FORM. The Innovation

Way Overlay is a conceptual transect-based overlay designation where the County envisions a transit-ready Orange County shall use Detailed Area

Plans (DAPs), Planned Development (PD) future land use designations, and Planned Development-Land Use Plans (PD-LUP) to realize the long

range planning vision for southeast Orange County through adoption of

the Innovation Way Overlay. Orange County adopted a conceptual prototypical urban form overlay designation, and corresponding

Development Framework policies, through a comprehensive plan amendment, which furthers the vision of a multi-modal mixed-use,

walkable community, with sustainable economic development, adequate

public infrastructure, and the protection and resource management of environmentally sensitive areas. and other “Smart Growth” principles. The

Innovation Way policies, Environmental Land Stewardship Program (”ELSP”) and Jobs-to-Housing Linkage Program (“Linkage Program”)

ordinances are also found to be essential tools to realize the provide the

foundation necessary to support and guide the implementation of the Innovation Way vision. (revised)

POLICIES

FLU5.1.1 The Innovation Way Overlay and review process is modeled after the Horizon West Village Classification and Specific Area Plan (SAP) process adopted in Future Land

Use Element Objective FLU4.1 and FLU4.1.7 (policy). Innovation Way includes a similar two-step process whereby the Overlay boundary for the Innovation Way

Overlay (Map 4) is adopted pursuant to Chapter 163 Florida Statutes. The Overlay

does not create any entitlements beyond what is currently shown on the FLUM. Included in the Overlay is a conceptual prototypical urban form, which includes Map

4 (adopted as Exhibit B; Ord. 06-08) and framework policies (FLU5.1.4 through FLU5.1.10) and principles to guide the overall development of the Innovation Way

Overlay. The Overlay (including Exhibits A and B) and framework policies were adopted with Amendment 2006-1-B-FLUE-2. Second, in order to move forward with

development, a Detailed Area Plan (DAP) must be completed pursuant to FLU5.1.3

and Objective FLU5.2 and be consistent with the conceptual prototypical urban form shown on the Innovation Way Overlay Map (Map 4) and also be processed as a

comprehensive plan amendment. The adopted comprehensive plan amendment shall be depicted on the Future Land Use Map as Planned Development. Nothing in these




2

policies is intended to supersede Orange County’s existing environmental regulations or the Econlockhatchee River Protection regulations. The Innovation Way Corridor is

generally depicted within the bold black lines shown on the Innovation Way Overlay Map (Map 4). (revised and renumbered as FLU5.1.2)

FLU5.1.1 Prior Development Approvals in the Innovation Way Overlay. Properties located in the Innovation Way Overlay with development that meets one of the

criterion listed below shall not be required to comply with the Innovation Way

Policies.

1. Development that has approval as of June 13, 2006, and is developed

consistent with such approval; or

2. Development with a consistency vested rights determination, provided the

vested rights do not expire and the development occurs in a manner that is

consistent with the vested rights determination; or

3. Development that is consistent with the uses, densities and intensities

allowed by CP as of June 13, 2006. (revised and renumbered as FLU5.1.1, formerly FLU5.1.4 )

FLU5.1.2 Innovation Way Conceptual Urban Form. Map 4 of the Future Land Use Map Series is intended to provide for the generalized and illustrative location and extent

of transect zones that collectively depict the desired urban form for Innovation Way.

This map will guide the preparation of Conceptual Regulating Plans and Planned Development Regulating Plans. Final boundaries and configurations of transect

zones, and the specific location and type of Innovation Way land use districts, road alignments and trails, shall be determined through the adoption of an Innovation

Way Planned Development Regulating Plan for individual properties within the

Overlay.

The Innovation Way overlay (MAP 4) does not provide any entitlements beyond the underlying future land use map designations and zoning classifications. As such,

Orange County shall, in conjunction with a transect-based approach, use Conceptual

Regulating Plans (CRP), the Innovation Way (IW) Future Land Use map designation, and Innovation Way Planned-Development-Regulating Plans (IW-PD-RP) to

implement the long range planning vision for Innovation Way. Proposed Future Land Use Map amendments and rezonings in the Innovation Way Overlay, except as

permitted by FLU5.1.1 and OBJ FLU5.14, must follow the process as outlined in the

associated policies. (new policy language, former FLU5.1.2 revised and renumbered to FLU5.1.4)

FLU5.1.3 Implementation General Process. Development within the Innovation Way

Overlay requires a Future Land Use Map designation of Innovation Way (IW) and a zoning designation of Innovation Way-Planned Development-Regulating Plan (IW-

PD-RP). A Conceptual Regulating Plan shall be submitted in conjunction with a Future Land Use Map amendment application to change the underlying future land use map

designation to IW. The requested Future Land Use Map designation to IW must be

approved by the Orange County Board of County Commissioners and processed as a Comprehensive Plan amendment pursuant to Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. A

rezoning to IW-PD-RP is also required and may be processed concurrently with a




3

Future Land Use Map amendment. A PD-Regulating Plan shall be submitted in conjunction with a rezoning application to IW-PD-RP, and must be approved by the

Orange County Board of County Commissioners. Future Land Use Map amendment and rezoning applications shall be submitted in accordance with the established

application submittal requirements. (new policy language, former FLU5.1.3 deleted)

FLU5.1.3 General Prototypical Principles. All Detailed Area Plans (DAPs) and/or Planned Development-Land Use Plans (PD-LUPs), within the Innovation Way Overlay adopted

after June 13, 2006, must adhere to the following Innovation Way Community Planning Principles:

1. DAPs and/or PD-LUPS shall be planned as Urban Community Villages (UCVs),

which shall be complete and integrated villages containing housing, shops, workplaces, schools, parks and civic facilities essential to the daily life of

Innovation Way Overlay residents. DAP and/or PD-LUP planning also shall ensure that there is a development program that includes a mix of residential

and non-residential uses consistent with FLU5.1.5 and FLU5.1.6.

2. DAPs and/or PD-LUPs shall be designed so that housing is generally within a 1.2

mile radius of the Innovation Way Activity Center (IWAC), Town Center or Village

Center (mixed-use center with shops, services and other activities). This radius may be relaxed where natural or community facilities and services interrupt the

design.

3. A DAP and/or PD-LUP 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.

4. As many activities as possible shall be located within an easy walking distance of

an existing or designated multi-modal transit corridor and/or transit stop.

5. The DAP and/or PD-LUP and each mixed-use center and residential

neighborhood shall have a center focus that combines commercial, civic, cultural

and/or recreational uses. Higher density residential development should be encouraged in proximity to these centers, with the highest density encouraged in

proximity to transit corridors and the IWAC; High-Tech, Town, and Village Centers; and/or Neighborhood Nodes.

6. The DAP and/or PD-LUP shall contain an ample supply of specialized open space in the form of, but not limited to, urban squares, plazas and greens, and parks

whose frequent use is encouraged through placement and design.

7. Each DAP and/or PD-LUP shall preserve and manage existing environmentally sensitive areas in accordance with Environmental Land Stewardship policies

(FLU5.4 and FLU5.5) and implementing ordinances. These areas will be permanently protected from development, and appropriately buffered and

protected from development impacts through transitional buffer areas of low-

density type housing, greenbelt/recreational park areas, and passive recreational areas transitioning into targeted preservation areas. Where feasible, open space

areas should be interconnected throughout the DAP and/or PD/LUP. This open space includes, but is not limited to, lands that remain undeveloped or minimally

developed (trails and boardwalks) and are part of a natural resource area or




4

passive recreation system.

8. To the maximum extent possible, the natural terrain, drainage and vegetation of

the area shall be preserved, with superior examples contained within parks or greenbelts.

9. Local and collector streets, pedestrian paths and bike paths shall contribute to a system of fully-connected and interesting routes from individual mixed-use

centers and residential neighborhoods to other centers and use districts within

the DAP and/or PD-LUP and to other urban communities. Their design should encourage pedestrian and bicycle use by being spatially defined by buildings,

trees, and lighting; and by discouraging high speed traffic.

10. The DAP and/or PD-LUP shall be designed to encourage and accommodate

linkage with the regional transit system.

11. Road crossings shall be minimized over wetlands and floodplains, and such crossings shall be designed to allow for unimpeded passage of wildlife. The

design of the road shall be such that the pre-development hydrological conditions shall be maintained.

12. Protection of the Econlockhatchee River Corridor Protection Zone (RCPZ), as defined in Chapter 15 of the Orange County Code, with conservation easements

or similar mechanisms and continued acquisition of land abutting the RCPZ

should be a priority.

13. Forested habitat fragmentation shall be limited.

14. Within the Econlockhatchee RCPZ, recreation and nature trails shall be unsurfaced and vehicle access shall be limited to existing river crossings and

approved access points. There shall be no additional crossing by road, rail or

utility corridors of the RCPZ unless three (3) conditions are met:

There is no feasible and prudent alternative to the crossing;

All possible measures to minimize harm to the resources of the basin will be

implemented; and

The crossing supports an activity that is clearly in the public interest as determined by the Board of County Commissioners. The use of additional

crossing co-located with existing crossings shall be presumed to be the least

harmful alternative. The expansion of existing crossings shall be presumed to be less harmful to the resources than the construction of new crossings.

Adequate wildlife underpasses shall be provided at all new or expanded river crossings. Aerial crossings of the protection zone by roads and utilities shall

be encouraged. Where avoidance is impossible, the roadway shall bridge

named tributaries. Nothing in the Innovation Way objectives and policies shall be read, construed, or interpreted as meaning that any new crossing of

the Econlockhatchee River to facilitate or support private development must be allowed. (revised and renumbered as FLU5.1.5)

FLU5.1.4 Innovation Way Study. Future Land Use Map amendments and Detailed Area Plans Rezonings shall make reference to the Innovation Way Economic Development

and Resource Management Study, dated December 15, 2005 (The Innovation Way




5

Study) as a non-binding resource to define the purpose and intent of the Overlay. The Innovation Way Study serves as a tool to guide decision making and

interpretation of the Future Land Use map amendments and land development code as it relates to the Innovation Way Overlay.

The vision for the Innovation Way Overlay incorporates the high-technology corridor concept and includes protection of ecologically important lands. This balancing of

high technology/high value economic development with environmental protection

requires innovative urban form, multimodal transportation concepts and infrastructure, and sustainable development practices. Planned Development (PD)

designations shall be implemented through Planned Development-Land Use Plans (PD-LUPs). (revised and formerly FLU5.1.2)

FLU5.1.4 Innovation Way Conceptual Urban Form. All development occurring after June 13, 2006, located within the Innovation Way Overlay, shall be developed in a manner that supports and

furthers the Compact Village Conceptual Urban Form Scenario that is adopted as the Innovation Way Overlay (Map 4; formerly Exhibit B), except:

1. Development that has approval as of June 13, 2006, and is developed consistent with such approval; or

2. Development with a consistency vested rights determination, provided the vested

rights do not expire and the development occurs in a manner that is consistent with the vested rights determination; or

3. Development that is consistent with the uses, densities and intensities allowed by CP as of June 13, 2006.

This conceptual prototype scenario (Map 4) is intended to provide for the generalized

and illustrative location and extent of urban land uses, and the specific location of land uses, road alignments and trails, shall be determined through adoption of a

DAP. (Added 08/08, Ord. 06-08, Policy 8.2.4-r; Amended 10/10, Ord. 2010-13,

FLU5.2.4-r) .(revised and renumbered as FLU5.1.1)

FLU5.1.5 Implementation and Transect-Based Approach. Transect-based planning shall be used to design complete communities requiring walkable streets, mix of uses,

transportation options, and housing diversity. Transect-based planning and incremental urbanism allows for communities to evolve sustainably over generations.

The IW-PD-RP shall identify and locate transects and districts to ensure the basis for

a complete neighborhood structure within which a development program is planned that includes a mix of residential and non-residential uses and furthers the

Innovation Way vision. The Innovation Way transect zones and corresponding Innovation Way districts are outlined in FLU5.1.5A and FLU5.1.5B, respectively. (new policy language replacing the former language in FLU5.1.5)

FLU5.1.5.A The Innovation Way transects shall be defined for the Innovation Way Overlay and shall be used as a mechanism to allow development to increase in complexity,

density, and intensity over a period of years.


reverting to a wilderness condition, including lands unsuitable for settlement due




6

to topography, hydrology or vegetation.

2. T-2 (Transect Zone-2) Rural Development Zone (RDZ) includes sparsely settled lands in open or cultivated state. These include woodland, agricultural land,

grassland. Typical buildings are single-family detached dwellings, farmhouses, and agricultural buildings that are designed consistent with other Innovation Way

policies. The RDZ is intended to provide a transition from rural to urban, and, as

such, may be located within the Urban Service Area.

3. T-3 (Transect Zone-3) Innovation Way Low-Medium Density Zone (IW-LMDZ) includes lower density neighborhood development beyond the boundaries of the

TSAC and IWAC zones, but not within the Rural Development or Natural zones.

4. T-4 (Transect Zone-4) Innovation Way Activity Center Zone (IW-MDZ) includes a

full range of medium density/intensity residential, commercial and workplace uses that serve the daily needs of residents and employees from nearby

neighborhoods and workplaces. When located in conjunction with a T-5 zone, the T-4 zone will occupy an area between 1/4 to 1/2 mile radius from the transit

station/discernible center identified on the IW-PD-RP.. When the T-4 zone is

established without a companion T-5 zone, the Activity Center will occupy an area within one-half mile of a discernible center.


high density/intensity residential, commercial and workplace uses intended to support a high level of transit service in the future. The TSAC includes an area

within one-quarter mile of a discernable center that may include a transit station,

central park or open space, or other development/feature that is identified as the center of the TSAC on the IW-PD-RP.



are not limited to high-tech/clean tech industrial parks, medical/research catalytic parks, tourist/resort centers, and major public works activities. Generally, T-SD

zones will include uses that by their function, disposition, or configuration cannot, or should not, conform to one or more of the five Innovation Way

normative Transect Zones. (new policy language)

FLU5.1.5.B. The Innovation Way districts provide the means to implement the transect based

policies through the identification of a variety of urban or rural development standards that address land use, transportation, green infrastructure, utility, site

design and permitting procedures. The Innovation Way districts will function to

ensure a compatible transition from rural to urban and facilitate a mix of uses that support multi-modal transportation. With the exception of Special Districts, all other

districts are intended to be located within a transect zone with which it is compatible.

1. Transit Station Area Cores(TSAC) are consistent with the T-5 transect zone and




7

are connected to each other by way of an Innovation Way Multi-modal Transportation Network. These centers are generally located where access is

provided through at least one of the Multimodal Corridors, and has been identified as a location to be served by a high-capacity transit service. High

tech/clean industry jobs shall be located in the TSAC consistent with the Jobs to Housing Linkage Ordinance. Other permitted uses include support

commercial/retail, personal and business services, office, light

industrial/research, hotel, high-density residential, civic, and parks/open space. Walkable blocks and compact high density/intensity mixed use development

characterize this type of district. Vertical mixing of uses shall be highly encouraged within the TSACs. The average perimeter of blocks within each


2. Town Centers and Innovation Way Activity Center districts are consistent with

the T-4 transect zone and are intended to include a variety of uses that support the daily needs of residents within adjoining neighborhoods. When collocated

with a TSAC district, the IWAC shall be the appropriate district to provide the land uses necessary to support high capacity transit service. Alternatively, when


appropriate option and be located with multimodal access serving the civic, commercial and personal service needs of a larger market area. These districts

shall provide a place for a mix of residential, office, retail, light industrial uses, and high tech/clean tech uses at a scale that should not be permitted in the T-3


encourage and accommodate linkage with the regional transit system and must provide for connections to, and be integrated with, the collector streets and

pedestrian and bike path systems. The average perimeter of blocks within each Town Center and IWAC shall be sized to achieve a 5 to 10-minute walk.

3. The Neighborhood district is consistent with the T-3 transect zone and is intended to be walkable, highly connected by streets, trails and pedestrian paths,

and adequately served by parks and open space. Standards and requirements for neighborhood development will vary based on several criteria including the

mix of housing types provided, overall residential density, inclusion of non-residential uses permitted by location, and placement of dwellings relative to

street frontages. The following policy elements provide direction for standards

that will be developed for inclusion in an Innovation Way Sustainable Development Code and the Regulating Plans for individual Innovation Way

projects.


within a maximum five-minute walk of a central focal point or neighborhood node.

b. Developments within neighborhoods that are proposed to develop within a density range of 6-10 dwellings per net developable acre should be located

in close proximity to a neighborhood node, or a location that would serve as a transition between a T-3 zone and T-4 or T-5 zone.





8

school sites should be centrally located to serve up to four (4) typical neighborhoods.

d. Each Neighborhood may contain a maximum of one Neighborhood Node, but shall be required to include a central neighborhood focal point in a form

determined through the adopted Regulating Plan Residential Neighborhoods can be clustered particularly in proximity to the transit corridors.

Overlay Urban Community Villages (UCV), except as exempted in FLU5.1.4 and Objective FLU5.14. Each Urban Community Village shall be designed so that it

includes no less than one thousand (1,000) and no greater than three thousand five hundred (3,500) acres of developable land area. The minimum overall net density

shall be five (5) units per net developable acre. Net density refers to the total number of units divided by the net developable land area. Net developable land area

excludes natural water bodies, conservation (wetland) areas, land for adequate

public facilities, public open space, and upland greenbelts, as well as stormwater retention when incorporated into a publicly accessible open space system and

landscape amenity. Development within the Innovation Way Overlay shall also be designed so that it supports transit, and is consistent with applicable Multi-Modal

Transportation District (MMTD) objectives and policies. All development along the

multimodal transit corridor within or along the northern or southern Innovation Way

roadway alignments (Innovation Way Multi-Modal Transit Corridors) shall be oriented to the Transit Stations, with the highest densities and intensities within a quarter-

mile of the stations and decreasing density and intensity further from the stations. The term Transit Stations shall be used to refer to existing or planned transit

boarding locations that provide connections to several transit routes, access to multiple modes of transit, and provide larger shelters or larger passenger facilities,

such as Superstops and Transit or Intermodal Centers. Each DAP and/or PD-LUP

shall contain at least one Mixed-Use Center as described below. In coordination with Orange County Public Schools, proposed development shall ensure that sufficient

acreage is reserved for elementary, middle and high schools. Activity-based community park sites shall be evaluated with the adoption of any DAP and/or PD-

LUP. Residential densities with ¼ mile of the Innovation Way Multi-modal Transit

Corridor shall have a minimum average density of eight (8) units per net developable acre. (Added 08/08, Ord. 06-08, Policy 8.2.5; Amended 10/10, Ord. 2010-13,

to the policies of the Orange County Comprehensive Plan Conservation Element. This overlay designation does not provide any entitlements beyond the existing

underlying future land use designation. A FLUM amendment is required in order for a property to take advantage of the Overlay designation. When a DAP is approved

by the Board of County Commissioners, the net developable land area allocated for urban development by the DAP shall be counted against the amount of additional

land identified by FLU1.2.4.

Projects that are being processed as Developments of Regional Impact (DRI) as of June 13, 2006, or are processed as a DRI after such date shall be developed

consistent with the intent of the Innovation Way Goals, Objectives and Policies, including the conceptual prototypical scenario. The County, at its discretion, may

require such projects to include all or portions of the information and analysis

required pursuant to Policy FLU5.2.1 (Detailed Area Plan) and its associated policies as part of the DRI and/or Comprehensive Plan Amendment, provided such

information and analysis does not duplicate requirements found in the DRI statutes and regulations.

A DAP may be prepared by Orange County or under the direction of Orange County by individual property owner(s) or some other cooperative venture provided it

complies with the requirements of Policy FLU5.2.1. A DAP will not be effective until

approved by the Orange County Board of County Commissioners and processed as an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, pursuant to Chapter 163, Florida

Statutes.

A. Detailed Area Plan Public Participation and Workshop Process. The DAP

process must include three public workshops to create the DAP. The workshops

shall include following presentations 1) Site analysis; 2) Three differing Plan options; and 3) Recommended DAP Master Plan. All workshops shall be subject

OBJ FLU5.4 ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT . To ensure that viable environmental communities are sustained during and after development,

Orange County has developed a Natural Resources Conservation Program that includes adoption of an Environmental Land Stewardship Program for the

Innovation Way Study Area for key environmental features and existing protected areas. Key unprotected areas have been identified for protection

through mechanisms including development buffers, acquisition, conservation

easement, and/or requiring that all development use ecologically friendly design at the neighborhood level by promoting conservation, creating nature

trails and boardwalks, providing educational opportunities, and promoting expedited design reviews for projects that are environmentally friendly.

Designs will create a friendlier pedestrian environment (walking and biking),

create a wider variety of active and passive recreational uses, maintain large patches of natural vegetation, and minimize fragmentation of natural

resources. Designs will maintain viable habitat areas to include natural vegetation, transitioning through passive uses, and avoid fragmentation of

natural resources.

OBJ FLU5.6 Green Infrastructure. Orange County shall develop a coordinated Green Infrastructure program for Innovation Way to address requirements for the

provision of parks and open space, stormwater management and low impact

development practices, energy conservation, and site lighting,

FLU5.6.1 Orange County will amend the land development code by July 1, 2016 2010. to include ―Green Development‖ practices to guide sustainable development, such as, but not

limited to the Florida Green Development Designation Standard, innovative mechanisms

to preserve environmentally sensitive areas that consider development siting and land use issues; energy conservation; water; and, energy- and resource-efficient products.

FLU5.6.2 Orange County shall develop education programs and requirements for Innovation Way that encourage xeric and waterwise landscaping and other water conservation measures.

The County will, through development approvals and regulation changes, minimize the amount of impervious surface area for development in the Innovation Way Study Area.

FLU5.6.3 Master planning stormwater requirements shall be the preferred method to address the

permitting requirements of Orange County and the South Florida Water Management District. Wherever feasible, stormwater facilities should be located and sized to

accommodate stormwater from multiple basins. Joint use stormwater facilities intended to serve drainage requirements associated with major thoroughfares as well as adjoining

development should also be planned to provide the maximum benefits associated with




31

master planning. It is the County’s desire to reduce the number of stormwater facilities for which maintenance is required, and to increase opportunities to utilize master

planned facilities as site amenities and as focal points for development within Innovation Way.

FLU5.6.4 The use of Low Impact Development (LID) practices will be encouraged by Orange County, particularly for basins that drain to an impaired water body for which a BMAP is

applicable and for land use districts that are intended for intense residential and non-

residential development. LID practices should be utilized, at a minimum, to improve water quality of receiving bodies, limit the amount of gray infrastructure required, and to

reduce the amount of post development stormwater discharge.

FLU5.6.5 Parks and open space shall be provided for use by residents, employees, and the general

public for many different functions, requiring a range of sizes and types. All parks shall be

connected to each other by the network of sidewalks, trails, and streets. These spaces

should be integrated into the fabric of the community along with other public

infrastructure systems such as streets, utilities, and stormwater drainage. Therefore, a

multitude of parks of different size and character is better than a small number of larger

parks. Different elements of each park fall along a spectrum as described below and

standards for these elements will be developed and included in the Regulating Plans for

Innovation Way planned developments:

Design ranging from formal to informal;

Use ranging from active to passive;

Activities ranging from planned and structured to spontaneous and unstructured;

and,

Sizes ranging from tiny to expansive.

FLU5.6.5.1 In order to accommodate a wide range of park sizes and types, all development within

Innovation Way land use districts shall provide park space classified in the following levels:

A. Level 1 – Adequate Public Facilities (APF) Parks – APF parks are intended to be community-scale parks with a target size of at least twenty (20) acres, representing

three to five percent of developable land within the T-3, T-4 and T-5 zones established within an Innovation Way project area. The locations of APF parks are

identified as part of the IW-PD-RP. These parks are intended to be scaled and

designed to ultimately fall under County ownership and maintenance and they are included in an ―Adequate Public Facilities Agreement‖.

B. Level 2 – District Parks – This level of parks is intended to serve day-to-day park needs, provide for spatial community organization and link homes, offices and

workplaces with outdoor spaces. These park types shall make up at least seven (7)

percent of the net developable acreage of a land use district, and their type and location will be determined based on a service radius linked to the size of the park

and other criteria as defined in the standards associated with the IW-PD-RP. These parks shall be owned and maintained by a Home Owners Association or other similar

entity.

OBJ FLU5.7 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. Orange County shall promote economic




32

development within Innovation Way through strategic job creation linkages to the University of Central Florida and Medical City/Orlando International

Airport and the provision development of incentives to attract the Innovation Way High-Tech/Clean-Tech High Value Corridor industries,. These actions are

intended to which create economic diversification and increased average annual salaries while making Orange County a recognized national leader in

merging development need with transportation system availability and

environmental sustainability. (revised and renumbered as OBJ FLU5.7)

FLU5.6.1 As a condition of approval for an Urban Community Village DAP, all proposed

development plans for lands within the corridor defined by the solid black lines depicted on the Innovation Way Overlay (Scenario 5) map as the ―Potential Innovation Way Road‖

must provide adequate land inventory for high tech/high value users for a minimum of 25 years. The DAP shall include appropriate data and analysis that forecasts the

appropriate amount of lands needed for projected high tech/high value uses in the

planning timeframe. Orange County shall include conditions in the approval of high tech/high value uses that limit their conversion to other land uses. (deleted)

Staff Recommendation

Make a finding of consistency with the Comprehensive Plan (see Future Land Use Element Policies FLU1.1.1, OBJ FLU1.2, FLU1.2.1 FLU1.2.2, OBJ FLU1.3, FLU1.3.1A, FLU1.3.2(f), GOAL FLU5, OBJ FLU5.1, FLU5.1.2, FLU5.1.5, FLU5.1.5A, FLU5.1.5B, FLU5.1.6, OBJ FLU5.2, FLU5.2.1, FLU5.2.2, FLU8.2.1, and Capital Improvements Element Policy CIE1.6.6, and Transportation Element OBJ T2.5 and OBJ T2.6), determine that the amendment is in compliance, and TRANSMIT Amendment 2014-2-A-4-4, Rural (R) to Innovation Way (IW).

Analysis

1. Background & Development Program

The applicant proposes to build up to 3,000 residential units and 330,000 square feet of commercial retail development and general office. As such, the request is to change the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation on the subject site from Rural (R) to Innovation Way (IW) and to also request an Urban Service Area expansion.

The subject property was previously used as a RV resort. The RV resort consisted of a 7,500 square foot clubhouse, a caretaker residence, and shooting stations for sporting clay. The site contains remnants of the RV resort which ceased to operate in 2003. The International Corporate Park DRI is located to the north of the property, the Orange County Sheriff’s shooting range and the Central Florida Rifle and Pistol Club are to the northwest, vacant land and the Live Oak Estates community border the property to the southwest, and vacant land also borders the property along the eastern boundary. The southern portion is primarily bordered by vacant land, however an estimated 1,100 feet of the southwest portion of the subject is bordered by approximately six single-family residential homes located within the Lake Mary Jane Rural Settlement.

In 2009, a Comprehensive Plan amendment application was submitted for this property, but the applicant subsequently withdrew the request. The 2009 application, amendment 2009-D-4-3, involved a request from R (Rural) to PD-CRUCV-HTC (Planned Development-Camino Reale Urban Community Village-Tech Center). The current application, amendment 2014-2-A-4-4, reduces the residential development program by 25% and the non-residential square footage by 80%.

Project Analysis

Consistency NOTE: Staff evaluated the proposed FLUM amendment for consistency with the currently adopted policies as well as the proposed text amendments included in 2014-2-C-CP-1. 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.

GOAL FLU5 and the associated policies establish the principles and policy requirements for development within the Innovation Way special planning area. As outlined in OBJ FLU5.1, Innovation Way is envisioned as a transit-ready, multi-modal mixed-use, walkable community with sustainable economic development, adequate public infrastructure, and well-integrated, protected and managed environmentally sensitive lands. In order to achieve the desired form in Innovation Way, FLU5.1.2 requires properties subject to the Innovation Way policies to amend the Future Land Use Map designation to Innovation Way (IW) and to rezone to Innovation Way Planned Development Regulating Plan (IW-PD-RP). In conjunction with the request to amend the future land use map designation, the applicant is also requesting an expansion of the Urban Service Area. Although the Innovation Way Overlay is identified as a special planning area, the entire Innovation Way Overlay is not located within the Urban Service Area. This is, in part, because the Innovation Way Overlay encompasses existing rural settlements and lands designated as R (Rural). Per FLU5.1.2, the overlay does not convey any entitlements beyond the existing future land use designations and zoning classifications. As a result, the applicant is requesting a Future Land Use Map Designation change from Rural (R) to Innovation Way (IW). The applicant has indicated an intent to process an IW-PD-RP rezoning concurrent with the Future Land Use Map amendment request. If the Local Planning Agency and the Board of County Commissioners recommend transmittal of amendment 2014-2-A-4-4, the applicant will then submit an application for the IW-PD-RP. In accordance with OBJ FLU5.2 and its associated policies, the IW-PD-RP should be consistent with the Conceptual Regulating Plan that has been submitted in support of the FLUM amendment. Per FLU5.2.2, the IW-PD-RP is where specific and detailed performance standards are established. Of particular interest in this proposed amendment, are proposed lot sizes, buffering and/or type of transition from properties in the Live Oak Estates community, which abuts the western boundary of the subject property, the general manner in which the development will transition from the Lake Mary Jane Rural Settlement to the proposed development, stormwater management, access, and other performance/development standards. Although these items are generally addressed at the IW-PD-RP stage, staff and the applicant have recognized the importance of these issues to the neighboring properties and also to the success of the desired urban form for Innovation Way. Consequently, transmittal of the proposed amendments serves as an initial step that would enable staff and the applicant to continue to work and communicate with the community on these more specific development standards. The Conceptual Regulating Plan and the nature of the transect zones, however, provide a level of predictability that factors into staff’s recommendation of transmittal. FLU5.1.6 outlines the general uses that could occur, allowable use districts, and the preferred mix of uses. The use districts are defined in FLU5.1.5B at a level of detail that is not found for other Future Land Use Map designations in the Comprehensive Plan. The Conceptual Regulating Plan’s consistency with OBJ FLU5, the intent of the applicant to submit an IW-PD-RP concurrent with the Comprehensive Plan, the location of the subject property in Innovation Way, and staff’s analysis of the sprawl criteria serve as the basis for staff’s recommendation to transmit the application. Staff’s recommendation is moderated, in that the following items must be addressed prior to adoption of amendment 2014-2-A-4-4:



1. Innovation Way Multi-Modal Transportation Network Agreement 2. School Capacity/Mitigation Agreement 3. Satisfaction of any Environmental Land Stewardship Program required at the Future

Land Use Map amendment stage 4. If a concurrent rezoning application is submitted, compliance with any Environmental

Land Stewardship Program required at the rezoning stage.

Urban Service Area Expansion and Sprawl Analysis Like other similarly situated properties requesting Urban Service Area expansions, amendment 2014-2-A-4-4 necessitates an evaluation for consistency with OBJ FLU1.2 and OBJ FLU1.3. OBJ FLU1.2 establishes the purpose and function of the Urban Service Area while OBJ FLU1.3 outlines the Urban Service Area expansion application requirements. Consistent with FLU1.1.1, these objectives recognize that the overaching goal of the Comprehensive Plan is to concentrate development within the urban service area. The County, however, has identified Horizon West and Innovation Way as areas where urban development may occur, and this principle is incorporated in FLU1.2.2 and OBJ FLU1.3 which state that urban development will occur only in the Urban Service Area and the established boundary for Innovation Way. Even though the Comprehensive Plan recognizes Innovation Way as an area where urban development may occur, the urban service area expansion request remains subject to the sprawl analysis required by Chapter 163, Florida Statutes and Future Land Use Element policy FLU1.3.1A. The sprawl indicators outlined in FLU1.3.1A include whether the proposed plan amendment promotes single use development, urban development in rural areas at substantial distances from existing urban development, and promotes, allows, or designates urban development in radial, strip, or ribbon patterns. The indicators also consider the efficient use, availability, and cost of providing infrastructure and services. Concomitant with the concept that an urban form that allows for a mix of uses and connectivity is more likely to counter the effects or urban sprawl, the indicators include whether or not the proposed amendment includes a functional mix of uses and discourages or inhibits infill and redevelopment.

Sprawl indicator: Single-use development As noted, the development program includes a mix of residential and non-residential uses, with a south-north transition from rural to urban. The location of the transect zones illustrated on the Conceptual Regulating Plan serve to provide for the transition, while also predicting where a mix of uses may occur. While the specific use and type of development is not finalized until the IW-PD-RP, the Conceptual Regulating Plan for amendment 2014-2-A-4-4 demonstrates that a mix of uses is contemplated. The predictability of the location of mixed use development in the Camino Reale project is supported by the requirements of the T3 (Low Medium Density) and T4 (Medium Density) transect zones and the compatible districts defined in FLU5.1.5A and FLU5.1.5B. While the T3 (Low Medium Density) is largely residential, it is contemplated that residential neighborhoods will contain a neighborhood node to provide for the daily commercial and service needs. The T4 (Medium Density) transect zone is intended to contain a greater mix of uses, with a preferred mix of 55% of the net developable land devoted to non-residential commercial and office uses and 35% to residential uses. The Camino development program indicates that 330,000 square feet of commercial/office uses are planned, which equals approximately 100 square feet per planned dwelling unit. This level of commercial is generally considered to be appropriate to support a wide



range of retail and service needs of the residents who will ultimately live within the project area. The mix and amount of non-residential support uses is the basis for the staff finding that Camino Reale’s Conceptual Regulating Plan indicates that the proposed amendment does not promote single use development. Sprawl indicator: Urban development in rural areas and distance from existing urban development Although the current Future Land Use designation for the Camino Reale subject property is R (Rural), and the property is located within the Rural Service Area, it is also located within the Innovation Way Overlay. FLU1.2.2 and OBJ1.3 identifies Horizon West and Innovation Way as areas where urban development may occur. This is an important distinction between other areas located in the Rural Service Area. Horizon West is identified as such because it is a state-approved sector plan. Innovation Way is not a sector plan, but the state approved the County’s identification of Innovation Way as special planning area. The vision for Innovation Way was and continues to be centered on placemaking, economic development, environmental sustainability, and multi-modal transportation options. The policies within GOAL FLU5 and within Transportation Element OBJ T2.5 and T2.6 are intended to further the Innovation Way vision. In addition, the property’s northern border is adjacent to International Corporate Park, which is an existing DRI within the Urban Service Area approved for over several million square feet of non-residential development. The subject property’s location within Innovation Way, an area identified as a place where urban development may occur, and its proximity to International Corporate Park, an area within the Urban Service Area entitled for intense Industrial uses, distinguishes the subject property from other areas in the Rural Service Area. As such, the property does not appear to indicate the characteristic of sprawl defined by this specific indicator.

Sprawl indicator: Promotes, allows, or designates urban development in radial, strip, or ribbon patterns. Camino Reale is located adjacent to the Urban Service Area. FLU1.3.2(f) requires properties requesting an Urban Service Area expansion to be at least 25% contiguous to the Urban Service Area boundary. If a property has limited contiguity to the Urban Service Area, FLU1.3.2(f) lists criteria that mitigate the limited contiguity. These criteria include placemaking and urban form, economic development, multimodal transportation options, and adequate provision of infrastructure and services. Camino Reale’s location within the Innovation Way Overlay, an area planned for urban development, subjects the application to policies and requirements that function to meet these criteria. Sprawl indicator: Efficient use, availability, and cost of providing infratructure and services OBJ FLU1.2 explains that the Urban Service Area concept is a fiscal and land use technique for managing the location of growth and urban development. FLU1.2.1 further explains that the Urban Service Area boundary takes into account the County’s desired development pattern and the urban strategies to achieve the desired form. FLU1.2.2 then states urban development during the 2007-2030 planning period, as identified in FLU1.2.1, will occur only in the Urban Service Area and the established boundary for the Horizon West and Innovation Way. OBJ FLU1.2 conveys the County’s recognition of the connection between land use and infrastructure planning, and the County’s need to manage growth in order to provide an adequate and appropriate level of infrastructure and



services for areas identified for growth. FLU1.2.1 speaks to the justification for which lands are included in the Urban Service area and generally recognizes urban strategies to achieve the desired urban form, when considered with other factors, as part of the analysis to determine which lands or locations are appropriate for urban development and urban services. FLU1.2.2 then specifically notes that Innovation Way is an area that is appropriate for urban development and urban services. It is important to note that while Innovation Way is an area where the County has anticipated urban development and services, the burden of providing infrastructure and services to any development that may ultimately occur is not solely the burden of Orange County. The County has policies and ordinances in place and the ability to use tools and strategies to ensure that development, even if it is identified in the Urban Service Area, Horizon West, or Innovation Way Overlay, is fiscally sustainable, and as noted in CIE1.6.6 that development is timed and phased consistent with the availability of infrastructure and services. Proposed Text Amendment Urban Service Area Expansion If amendment 2014-2-A-4-4 is adopted, the acreage of the subject property must be included in

FLU1.2.4, which records Urban Service Area Expansions.

FLU1.2.4 The County will continue to monitor the Urban Service Area allocation. Through this

process, the following applicants have satisfied these requirements and are recognized as

expansions to the Urban Service Area.

Compatibility Policy FLU8.2.1 states that land use changes shall be required to be compatible with the existing development and development trend in the area.

Consistent with FLU5.1.2, amendment 2014-2-A-4-4 is requesting the IW FLUM designation. If the FLUMA is transmitted, the applicant plans to submit a rezoning application to be considered for adoption concurrent with the FLUMA. FLU5.2.1 requires the submittal of a Conceptual Regulating Plan, which outlines the general location of the transect zones. The Conceptual Regulating Plan submitted for Camino Reale is provided as an exhibit and indicates the location of the proposed transect zones. In an effort to provide an appropriate transition from the rural settlement, which abuts the southwestern edge of Camino Reale to the proposed development, the proposed Map 4 of the Future Land Use Map Series (which is attached as a part of Amendment 2014-2-C-CP-1) includes notations in areas abutting rural development. These notations indicate that appropriate transitions between the adjoining rural areas and the transect zones associated with the Camino project will be addressed as part of the IW-RP-PD review that will follow transmittal of the FLUMA. The types of transitions that could be considered include like-to-like development restrictions (similar lot sizes,



building setbacks or building heights) along a joint boundary, physical buffers, and alternative transect zones.

FLU5.1.5 explains the use of transect zones to allow for incremental urbanism to create the desired urban form for Innovation Way. The proposed location of the T-3 (Low-Medium Density Development Zone) transect zone shown on the Conceptual Regulating Plan provided with the Camino FLUMA is generally consistent with Map 4 of the Future Land Use Map Series. Although Map 4 depicts only the T-4 and T-5 zones at present, the balance of the Overlay areas included in the Starwood, ICP, IWE and Camino project sites are considered to be appropriate for T3 and, in some locations, T2 zones.

Public Facilities and Services Environmental: The project shall follow the Environmental Land Stewardship Program Policies. There are environmentally sensitive lands within this project area as defined in the Innovation Way Environmental Policies. Crossing of wetlands shall meet all ELSP requirements, and, as applicable, the Econlockhatchee River Protection Ordinance. These lands include, but are not limited to, an existing Water Management District conservation easement, wetlands (reference Orange County Conservation Area Determination CAD-13-10-055 with expiration date of November 4, 2018 previously part of CAD 07-122), wetland buffers and other areas yet to be defined in an analysis of the site uplands for rare habitat and wildlife corridor connectivity.

Schools: The capacity determination for this project indicates that sufficient capacity is available in the affected schools to accommodate the proposed use. Therefore, this project does not require a Capacity Enhancement Agreement (CEA) with Orange County Public Schools at this time. The expiration date for the capacity determination is being extended from August 31, 2014 to December 31, 2014.

Transportation: The applicant is required to enter into a Multimodal Transportation Network Agreement. The County is conducting a study of the proposed Innovation Way transportation network, and this study will serve as the basis for the agreement. The proposed FLUM amendment will not be recommended for adoption without the applicant’s participation in a Multimodal Transportation Network Agreement approved by the Board of County Commissioners.

No new expansions to the Urban Service Area boundary, except for those planned for Horizon West and the Innovation Way Overlay (Scenario 5), shall be permitted unless supported by data and analysis demonstrating consistency with Objectives FLU1.2 and FLU1.3 and associated policies. Orange County shall use the following process to evaluate Urban Service Area expansions, and as a means for achieving its goals with respect to accommodating growth within the USA and implementing the Comprehensive Plan. FLU1.3.1- All amendments to the Urban Service Area shall include a comprehensive review to ensure the efficient provision of infrastructure, protection of the environment, and land use compatibility with adjacent development. A. Per Section 163.3177(6)(a)(9)(a), Florida Statutes, amendments to the Comprehensive Plan,

including Urban Service Area expansion requests, shall discourage urban sprawl. The primary indicators used to evaluate whether a plan or plan amendment encourages the proliferation of urban sprawl are listed below. 1. Promotes, allows, or designates substantial areas of the jurisdiction to develop as low-

intensity, low-density, or single-use development or uses in excess of demonstrated need; 2. Promotes, allows, or designates significant amounts of urban development to occur in rural

areas at 3. substantial distances from existing urban areas while not using undeveloped lands that are

available and suitable for development;

4. Promotes, allows, or designates urban development in radial, strip, isolated or ribbon patterns generally emanating from existing urban developments;

5. Fails to adequately protect and conserve natural resources, such as wetlands, floodplains, native vegetation, environmentally sensitive areas, natural groundwater aquifer recharge areas, lakes, rivers, shorelines, beaches, bays, estuarine systems, and other significant natural systems;

6. Fails to adequately protect adjacent agricultural areas and activities, including active agricultural and silvicultural activities, passive agricultural activities, and dormant, unique, and prime farmlands and soils;

7. Fails to maximize use of existing public facilities and services; 8. Fails to maximize use of future public facilities and services; 9. Allows for land use patterns or timing that disproportionately increase the cost in time,

money, and energy of providing and maintaining facilities and services, including roads, potable water, sanitary sewer, stormwater management, law enforcement, education, health care, fire and emergency response, and general government;

10. Fails to provide a clear separation between rural and urban uses;



11. Discourages or inhibits infill development or the redevelopment of existing neighborhoods and communities;

12. Fails to encourage a functional mix of uses; 13. Results in poor accessibility among linked or related land uses; 14. Results in the loss of significant amounts of functional open space.

FLU1.3.2(f) -The total linear footage of the perimeter of the property to be added to the USA shall be at least 25% contiguous (excluding wetlands and surface water) to the existing USA boundary as shown on the County’s Future Land Use Map. The perimeter of the property shall be measured as a percentage of the total linear footage of the perimeter of the property proposed for inclusion as compared to the perimeter of the parcel that is contiguous. To discourage urban sprawl and reduce enclaves, the proposed development shall not extend into the Rural Service Area in a ribbon like manner or create enclaves or pockets of Rural Service Area.

If the property is contiguous but the contiguity is less than 25%, the following additional criteria must be met:

The subject property shall not leave intervening parcels of developable property between the subject property and the Urban Service Area;

The proposed development shall meet the minimum required site and building placemaking design standards for Mixed-Use Development Activity Centers, consistent with Policy FLU3.2.6; (Amended 10/10, Ord. 2010-13).

The subject property is located within five miles of a regional employment center containing no less than 5,000 existing employees;

The proposed development shall meet the design requirements for a Multimodal Transportation District (MMTD) as outlined in FDOT’s Multimodal Transportation Districts and Areawide Quality of Service Handbook, and the property owner/developer agrees to be included within a proposed MMTD boundary if and when the County proposes an MMTD;

The application demonstrates that the proposed development will not adversely affect the County’s ability to provide public safety services. This shall include a demonstration that adequate police and fire protection facilities are available (consistent with Policies FR1.2.2 and FR1.2.3), that adequate fire flows are or will be available, and that reflex time for fire and EMS response will be consistent with Policy FR1.2.1;

The application contributes to the County’s desired urban form strategies and urban form, consistent with Policy FLU1.3.1C(1); and

The application meets all other requirements addressed in Policies FLU1.3.1A, FLU1.3.1B, and FLU1.3.1C.

Goals, Objectives and Policies included with Amendment 2014-2-C-CP-1 GOAL FLU5 INNOVATION WAY. Orange County continues to recognize the importance of a diverse local economy and the need to protect sensitive resources, specifically as they relate to high tech/clean tech jobs and the protection and preservation of the Econlockhatchee River Basin within the Innovation Way Overlay. The Innovation Way Overlay is illustrated on MAP 4 of the Future Land Use Map Series.



OBJ FLU5.1 The Innovation Way Overlay is a conceptual transect-based overlay designation where the County envisions a transit-ready, multi-modal mixed-use, walkable community with sustainable economic development, adequate public infrastructure, and the protection and resource management of environmentally sensitive areas. The Innovation Way policies, Environmental Land Stewardship Program (”ELSP”) and Jobs-to-Housing Linkage Program (“Linkage Program”) ordinances provide the foundation necessary to support and guide the implementation of the Innovation Way vision. FLU5.1.2 Innovation Way Conceptual Urban Form. Map 4 of the Future Land Use Map Series is

intended to provide for the generalized and illustrative location and extent of transect zones that

collectively depict the desired urban form for Innovation Way. This map will guide the preparation

of Conceptual Regulating Plans and Planned Development Regulating Plans. Final boundaries and

configurations of transect zones, and the specific location and type of Innovation Way land use

districts, road alignments and trails, shall be determined through the adoption of an Innovation Way

Planned Development Regulating Plan for individual properties within the Overlay.

The Innovation Way overlay (MAP 4) does not provide any entitlements beyond the underlying

future land use map designations and zoning classifications. As such, Orange County shall, in

conjunction with a transect-based approach, use Conceptual Regulating Plans (CRP), the Innovation

Way (IW) Future Land Use map designation, and Innovation Way Planned-Development-Regulating

Plans (IW-PD-RP) to implement the long range planning vision for Innovation Way. Proposed Future

Land Use Map amendments and rezonings in the Innovation Way Overlay, except as permitted by

FLU5.1.1 and OBJ FLU5.14, must follow the process as outlined in the associated policies.

FLU5.1.5 Implementation and Transect-Based Approach. Transect-based planning shall be used to

design complete communities requiring walkable streets, mix of uses, transportation options, and

housing diversity. Transect-based planning and incremental urbanism allows for communities to

evolve sustainably over generations. The IW-PD-RP shall identify and locate transects and districts

to ensure the basis for a complete neighborhood structure within which a development program is

planned that includes a mix of residential and non-residential uses and furthers the Innovation Way

vision. Development programs are based on the net developable land area which excludes natural

water bodies and conservation (wetland) areas. The Innovation Way transect zones and

corresponding Innovation Way districts are outlined in FLU5.1.5A and FLU5.1.5B, respectively.

FLU5.1.5.A The Innovation Way transects shall be defined for the Innovation Way Overlay and shall

be used as a mechanism to allow development to increase in complexity, density, and intensity over

a period of years.


reverting to a wilderness condition, including lands unsuitable for settlement

due to topography, hydrology or vegetation.



2. T-2 (Transect Zone-2) Rural Development Zone (RDZ) includes sparsely settled

lands in open or cultivated state. These include woodland, agricultural land,

grassland. Typical buildings are single-family detached dwellings, farmhouses,

and agricultural buildings that are designed consistent with other Innovation

Way policies. The RDZ is intended to provide a transition from rural to urban,

and, as such, may be located within the Urban Service Area.

3. T-3 (Transect Zone-3) Innovation Way Low-Medium Density Zone (IW-LMDZ)

includes lower density neighborhood development beyond the boundaries of

the TSAC and IWAC zones, but not within the Rural Development or Natural

zones.

4. T-4 (Transect Zone-4) Innovation Way Activity Center Zone (IW-ACZ) includes a

full range of medium density/intensity residential, commercial and workplace

uses that serve the daily needs of residents and employees from nearby

neighborhoods and workplaces. When located in conjunction with a T-5 zone,

the T-4 zone will occupy an area between 1/4 to 1/2 mile radius from the transit

station/discernible center identified on the IW-PD-RP. When the T-4 zone is

established without a companion T-5 zone, the Activity Center will occupy an

area within one-half mile of a discernible center.


high density/intensity residential, commercial and workplace uses intended to

support a high level of transit service in the future. The TSAC includes an area

within one-quarter mile of a discernable center that may include a transit

station, central park or open space, or other development/feature that is

identified as the center of the TSAC on the IW-PD-RP.



are not limited to high-tech/clean tech industrial parks, medical/research

catalytic parks, tourist/resort centers, and major public works activities.

Generally, T-SD zones will include uses that by their function, disposition, or

configuration cannot, or should not, conform to one or more of the five

Innovation Way normative Transect Zones.

FLU5.1.5.B The Innovation Way districts provide the means to implement the transect based policies

through the identification of a variety of urban or rural development standards that address land

use, transportation, green infrastructure, utility, site design and permitting procedures. The

Innovation Way districts will function to ensure a compatible transition from rural to urban and

facilitate a mix of uses that support multi-modal transportation. With the exception of Special



Districts, all other districts are intended to be located within a transect zone with which it is

compatible.

1. Transit Station Area Cores (TSAC) are consistent with the T-5 transect zone and

are connected to each other by way of an Innovation Way Multi-modal

Transportation Network. These centers are generally located where access is

provided through at least one of the Multimodal Corridors, and has been

identified as a location to be served by a high-capacity transit service. High

tech/clean industry jobs shall be located in the TSAC consistent with policies

that address Jobs to Housing Linkage requirements. Other permitted uses

include support commercial/retail, personal and business services, office, light

industrial/research, hotel, high-density residential, civic, and parks/open space.

Walkable blocks and compact high density/intensity mixed use development

characterize this type of district. Vertical mixing of uses shall be highly

encouraged within the TSACs. The average perimeter of blocks within each


2. Town Center and Innovation Way Activity Center districts are consistent with

the T-4 transect zone and are intended to include a variety of uses that support

the daily needs of residents within adjoining neighborhoods. When collocated

with a TSAC district, the IWAC shall be the appropriate district to provide the

land uses necessary to support high capacity transit service. Alternatively, when


appropriate option and be located with multimodal access serving the civic,

commercial and personal service needs of a larger market area. These districts

shall provide a place for a mix of residential, office, retail, light industrial, and

high tech/clean tech uses at a scale that should not be permitted in the T-3


encourage and accommodate linkage with the regional transit system and must

provide for connections to, and be integrated with, the collector streets and

pedestrian and bike path systems. The average perimeter of blocks within each

Town Center and IWAC shall be sized to achieve a 5 to 10-minute walk.

3. The Neighborhood district is consistent with the T-3 transect zone and is

intended to be walkable, highly connected by streets, trails and pedestrian

paths, and adequately served by parks and open space. Standards and

requirements for neighborhood development will vary based on several criteria

including the mix of housing types provided, overall residential density,

inclusion of non-residential uses permitted by location, and placement of

dwellings relative to street frontages. The following policy elements provide

direction for standards that will be developed for inclusion in an Innovation Way

Sustainable Development Code and the Regulating Plans for individual



Innovation Way projects.


within a maximum five-minute walk of a central focal point or neighborhood

node.

b. Developments within neighborhoods that are proposed to develop within a

density range of 6-10 dwellings per net developable acre should be located

in close proximity to a neighborhood node, or a location that would serve as

a transition between a T-3 zone and T-4 or T-5 zone.


school sites should be centrally located to serve up to four (4) typical

neighborhoods.

d. Each Neighborhood may contain a maximum of one Neighborhood Node,

but shall be required to include a central neighborhood focal point in a form

determined through the adopted Regulating Plan. Residential

Neighborhoods can be clustered particularly in proximity to the transit

corridors.

e. Neighborhoods shall not be gated and perimeter walls will not be

permitted.

f. Neighborhoods should be planned with at least seventy-five (75) percent of

the blocks having a perimeter length that does not exceed a distance

associated with a ten-minute walk.


business and personal service, and civic uses to provide for daily commercial

and service needs of a residential neighborhood. Neighborhood retail and office

uses shall be characterized by small-scale units, organized in compact nodes,

designed to be visually compatible with surrounding development. The

following standards shall apply to Neighborhood Nodes:



residents;


personal service and civic uses, which are designed primarily to serve the

needs of residents and/or employees within the immediate area;




Additional standards regarding design, specific use types, size, and location

criteria, shall be adopted in the land development code to ensure

compatibility with surrounding development and consistency with the



urban development patterns envisioned for the Innovation Way Overlay.

FLU5.1.6 Within the Innovation Way Overlay, each IW-PD-RP adopted after November 11, 2014 shall identify the Innovation Way transect zones, districts, and uses and shall contribute to accomplishing an overall mix of residential and non-residential uses. The following correlation table shall be used in connection with the evaluation of a proposed development’s consistency and compatibility with the Innovation Way Overlay policies, the conceptual development framework depicted on Future Land Use Map Series Map 4, and the Innovation Way Regulating Plan Structure document.

Executive Summary

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This study was conducted in support of a CP amendment application for the Camino Reale property, located in the Innovation Way area of Orange County. The analysis assessed the impact of the additional traffic resulting from the proposed amendment on the roadway network. The requested amendment is to change the FLUM designation of the property from Rural Agricultural to Urban PD Residential/Commercial. The amendment will allow a total of 3,000 mixed residential units and 330,000 square feet of mixed commercial land uses. The findings of this analysis are as follows:

The requested amendment will result in an additional 33,237 daily trips and 3,060 peak hour trips on the roadway network.

Access to the site is provided primarily from Innovation Way. A secondary access on Lake Mary Jane Road may be provided for limited residential development at the south end of the property.

An analysis of existing conditions indicates that all study segments currently operate within their adopted capacity, except for Alafaya Trail from Lake Underhill Rd to Curry Ford Rd.

Analysis of Interim Year 2018 base conditions indicates that all roadways are projected to continue to operate with their capacity in 2018, except for the 4-lane section of Alafaya Trail from Lake Underhill road to Avalon Park Road. The proposed amendment is projected to impact the Beachline toll facility on the segment from Innovation Way to the Central Florida Greeneway (SR 417).

In the Comprehensive Plan horizon year of 2030, Alafaya trail will continue to be deficient without improvements. Additionally, segments of the Beachline and Narcoossee Road are projected to exceed their capacity in the base condition. The proposed amendment is projected to impact the same segment of the Beachline from Innovation Way to Central Florida Greeneway. Narcoossee Road from Central Florida Greeneway to Lake Nona Boulevard is also projected to be impacted.

The Camino Reale project has been and continues to be an active participant in the development of the Innovation Way transportation network. The project has contributed significant funding toward the construction of Innovation Way from its northern boundary to the Beachline interchange. Additionally, the project’s internal road system incorporates critical segment of Innovation Way South.

Additionally, the project will undergo further review through the County’s concurrency management system and further zoning and development approvals. Through this process, the project will further address any impacts to the roadway network, including backlogged and toll facilities, as applicable and in accordance with County code and State statutes.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This analysis was undertaken to support an application to amend the Orange County

Comprehensive Plan’s (CP) Future Land Use Map (FLUM) for the proposed Camino Reale

development. The proposed project is a mixed-use development on 1,039 gross acres located

in Orange County’s Innovation Way corridor. Approximately 676.9 acres are developable

uplands. The proposed site lies within the Innovation Way Overlay District which was approved

by Orange County in June, 2005. Figure 1 depicts the s i t e location and the project’s primary

area of influence.

The current Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation is Rural and the requested amendment is

to change the designation to PD Residential/Commercial, which is consistent with Orange

County’s adopted Innovation Way Policies. The development densities are listed in Table 1. The

current development density is based on the maximum allowable development under the current

FLUM designation. The proposed development program is in accordance with the proposed

2.0 EXISTING TRAFFIC CONDITIONS

The existing traffic conditions were evaluated within the project’s primary influence area. This

included the area’s major roadways which were analyzed for P.M. peak hour conditions.

The existing conditions on the roadway network were analyzed by comparing the latest available

traffic volumes on each of the roadway segments to the adopted capacity thresholds. The existing

conditions analysis was based on information from the Orange County Concurrency Management

System (CMS) database. The CMS information is included in Appendix B. Table 2 summarizes

the existing conditions capacity analysis in the area.

This analysis reveals that currently all roadway segments within the study area operate

satisfactorily within their adopted capacity.

4.0 TRIP GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION

The project’s traffic and travel characteristics determine the level of impact it will have on the

surrounding transportation facilities. These characteristics include the project’s trip generation,

the distribution of those trips in the area, then their assignment to the roadway network.

4.1 Trip Generation

The trip generation for the existing and proposed land use densities was calculated using trip

generation information published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) in the Trip

Generation Report, 9th Edition. Additionally, internal trips occurring between the proposed

residential and commercial land uses were estimated using ITE’s internal trip matrix as provided

in the Trip Generation Handbook. Pass-by trips were limited to 10% of the external commercial

traffic in recognition of future background traffic volumes on the roadway. Trip generation rates

and calculations are summarized in Table 3, which shows the daily and P.M. peak hour trips for

the existing and proposed land uses. Detailed worksheets are provided in Appendix C.

Table 3 Trip Generation Calculation

From these calculations, the site’s daily trip generation will increase by 33,237 daily trips and the

P.M. peak hour trip generation will increase by 3,060 trips as a result of the proposed amendment.

4.2 Trip Distribution/Assignment

A project trip distribution pattern was developed using the Orlando Urban Area Transportation

Study (OUATS) Model. The model was modified to include a Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ) to

represent the proposed development. The model output is provided in Appendix D.

4.3 Significance Test

The project’s significant impact area is defined as 2.5-mile radius from the site, extended if

necessary to include roadway segments where project traffic consumes 3% or more of the

roadway segments’ adopted peak hour directional capacity. Table 4 summarizes the significance

test for the project.

Table 4 Significance Test

Based on the significance test, the impact area was extended along Alafaya Trail, the Beachline,

Central Florida Greeneway, and Moss Park Road beyond the project’s primary 1-mile impact.

5.0 PROJECTED CONDITIONS ANALYSIS

Projected conditions were assessed to evaluate the impact of the proposed amendment on the

roadway network. The projected conditions analysis was performed for the Horizon Year (2030)

and the Interim Year (2018). The analyses were conducted for the base condition (without the

amendment) and for the proposed condition (with the amendment) as follows.

5.1 Background Traffic Volumes and Transportation Network

Projected traffic volumes for the years 2018 and 2030 were obtained by applying an average

historical growth rate of 2% annually to existing background traffic volumes. Given the

performance of the transportation model in this area, the annual growth rate was agreed with

Orange County staff as an appropriate measure of long term traffic growth on transportation

facilities within the study are. The growth rate is based on typical historical growth in Orange

County.

5.2 Interim Year 2018 Conditions (Base Analysis)

The interim year analysis was conducted for the base condition, which assumes that the FLUM

is not amended. This analysis is based on the existing and committed roadway network geometry

and projected 2018 traffic volumes. Table 5 summarizes the analysis.

The analysis of projected base conditions indicates that all roadway segments within the study

area will continue to operate adequately in the Interim Year 2018, except for the four lane section

of Alafaya Trail from Lake Underhill Road to Avalon Park Boulevard.

5.3 Interim Year 2018 Conditions (Proposed Condition)

The Interim Year analysis was conducted for the amended FLUM to evaluate the effect of the

proposed amendment on the study segments. This analysis considers the 2018 background

volume with the projected increase in trips resulting from the FLUM amendment added to the

background. Table 6 summarizes the results of this analysis.

The analysis indicates that the proposed amendment will impact the segment of the Beachline

from Innovation Way to Central Florida Greeneway (SR 417) in the Interim Year 2018.

5.4 Horizon Year 2030 Conditions (Base Condition)

Year 2030 projected conditions were analyzed for the base condition, which assumes no change

to the FLUM designation for the property. This analysis is based on the projected background

traffic volumes for the horizon year and the planned cost feasible roadway network for the same

year. Table 7 summarizes the 2030 base conditions analysis.

The analysis indicates that the following segment of are projected to be deficient in the Horizon

Year 2030:

Alafaya Trail – Lake Underhill Road to Avalon Park Road

BeachLine Expressway – Central Florida Greeneway to Narcoossee Road Semoran Boulevard to McCoy Road

Narcoossee Road – Lake Nona Drive to Beachline Expressway

5.5 Horizon Year 2030 Conditions (Proposed Condition)

The Horizon Year analysis was also conducted for the amended FLUM to evaluate the effect of

the proposed amendment on the study segments. This analysis considers the 2030 background

volume with the projected increase in trips, resulting from the FLUM amendment, added to the

background. Table 8 summarizes the results of this analysis, which indicate that the proposed

amendment will not adversely impact the projected conditions on the roadway segments.

The proposed amendment is projected to adversely impact the following segments:

BeachLine Expressway – Innovation Way to Central Florida Greeneway

Narcoossee Road – Lake Nona Drive to Central Florida Greeneway

6.0 MITIGATION PLAN

The project is located within the Innovation Way area and has been an active participant and

contributor to the development of the transportation network in this area. The project is party to

an agreement for the construction of Innovation Way as 4-lane divided connection from the

northern project boundary to the interchange at the Beachline.

The project will also construct portions of Innovation Way south located within the project

boundaries. The internal roadway connections form a significant part of the overall Innovation

Way network in this area.

In addition to these contributions and commitments, the project will undergo additional review

through the development process and is required to meet all applicable transportation conditions

of the concurrency management system. Through this process, the projected impacts from the

proposed amendment to backlogged facilities, toll roadways, and any other roadway segments

will be further assessed and mitigated in accordance with prevailing County and State regulations.


Page 15

7.0 STUDY CONCLUSIONS

This study was conducted in support of a CP amendment application for the Camino Reale

property, located in the Innovation Way area of Orange County. The analysis assessed the

impact of the additional traffic resulting from the proposed amendment on the roadway network.

The requested amendment is to change the FLUM designation of the property from Rural

Agricultural to Urban PD Residential/Commercial. The amendment will allow a total of 3,000

mixed residential units and 330,000 square feet of mixed commercial land uses. The findings of

this analysis are as follows:

The requested amendment will result in an additional 33,237 daily trips and 3,060 peak hour trips on the roadway network.

Access to the site is provided primarily from Innovation Way. A secondary access on Lake Mary Jane Road may be provided for limited residential development at the south end of the property.

An analysis of existing conditions indicates that all study segments currently operate within their adopted capacity, except for Alafaya Trail from Lake Underhill Rd to Curry Ford Rd.

Analysis of Interim Year 2018 base conditions indicates that all roadways are projected to continue to operate with their capacity in 2018, except for the 4-lane section of Alafaya Trail from Lake Underhill road to Avalon Park Road. The proposed amendment is projected to impact the Beachline toll facility on the segment from Innovation Way to the Central Florida Greeneway (SR 417).

In the Comprehensive Plan horizon year of 2030, Alafaya trail will continue to be deficient without improvements. Additionally, segments of the Beachline and Narcoossee Road are projected to exceed their capacity in the base condition. The proposed amendment is projected to impact the same segment of the Beachline from Innovation Way to Central Florida Greeneway. Narcoossee Road from Central Florida Greeneway to Lake Nona Boulevard is also projected to be impacted.

The Camino Reale project has been and continues to be an active participant in the development of the Innovation Way transportation network. The project has contributed significant funding toward the construction of Innovation Way from its northern boundary to the Beachline interchange. Additionally, the project’s internal road system incorporates critical segment of Innovation Way South.

Additionally, the project will undergo further review through the County’s concurrency management system and further zoning and development approvals. Through this process, the project will further address any impacts to the roadway network, including backlogged and toll facilities, as applicable and in accordance with County code and State statutes.

RE:

Camino Reale Site -Orange County, Florida BTC File #321-01 Updated Environmental Assessment

Dear Mr. Shakespeare:

During February of 2014, Bio-Tech Consulting, Inc. conducted an updated environmental assessment of the Camino Reale Site to document the vegetation and land-use cover types present, wildlife inhabiting the site, and general site conditions. The Camino Reale Site consists of 1,032.9 acres located between W ewahootee Road and T .M. Ranch Road, within Sections 1, 12, 13 and 24, Township 24 South, Range 31 East, Orange County, Florida (see Figures 1, 2, and 3). The envirorunental assessment conducted included the following elements:

• review of soil types mapped within the site boundaries; • evaluation of land use types/vegetative communities present; and, • field review for occurrence of protected species of flora and fa1:1na.

SOILS

According to the Soil Survey of Orange County, Florida, prepared by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), eight (8) soil types exist within the subject property (Figure 4). These soil types include the following:

Basinger fine sand; depressional (#3) is a nearly level, very poorly drained soil found in shallow depressions and sloughs and along edges of freshwater marshes and swamps. The surface layer of this soil type generally consists of black fine sand about 7 inches thick. The water table for this soil type is above the surface for 6 to 9 months or more each year and is within 12 inches of the surface for the rest of the year. Permeability of this soil is rapid throughout.

Camino Reale Site - Orange County, Florida (ETC File #321-01) Updated Environmental Assessment Page 2 of 12

Pomello fine sand, 0 to 5 percent slopes (#34) is a nearly level to gently sloping, moderately well drained soil found on low ridges and knolls on the flat\voods. The surface layer of this soil type generally consists of gray fine sand about 3 inches thick. In most years, the seasonal high water table for this soil type is at a depth of 24 to 40 inches for 1 to 4 months and recedes to a depth of 40 to 60 inches during dry periods. Permeability of this soil type is very rapid in the surface and subsurface layers, moderately rapid in the subsoil, and rapid in the substratum.

St. Johns fine sand (#37) is a nearly level, poorly drained soil found in broad areas on the flatwoods. The upper portion of the surface layer of this soil type generally consists of black fine sand about 7 inches thick. In most years the seasonal high water table for this soil type is within 10 inches of the surface for 6 to 12 months and between depths of 10 to 40 inches for more than 6 months. Permeability of this soil type is rapid in the surface and subsurface layers and substratum, and medium to very high in the subsoil.

Samsula muck (#40) is a nearly level, very poorly drained soil found in freshwater marshes and swamps. Typically the upper part of the organic surface layer of this soil type is black muck about 8 inches thick. In most years, undrained areas mapped with this soil type are ponded for 6 to 9 months or more each year except during extended dry periods. A seasonal high water table for this soil type fluctuates between depths of about 10 inches of the surface. Permeability of this soil type is rapid throughout.

Samsula-Hontoon-Basinger association, depressional (#41) are nearly level, very poorly drained soils found in freshwater swamps, depressions, sloughs and broad poorly defined drainageways. Typically the surface layer of Samsula soil is black and dark reddish brown muck about 34 inches thick. The surface layer of Hontoon soil typically consists of black muck about 16 inches thick. Typically the surface layer of Basinger soil consists of black fine sand about 6 inches thick. During most years, the undrained areas of the soils in this map unit are ponded for 6 to 9 tnonths or more except during extended dry petiods. The permeability of Samsula and Hontoon soils is rapid. The permeability of Basinger soil is very rapid.

Sanibel muck (#42) is a nearly level, very poorly drained soil found in depressions, freshwater swamps and marshes and in poorly defined drainageways. Typically the surface layer of this soil type consists of black muck about 11 inches thick. In most years undrained areas mapped with this soil type are ponded for 6 to 9 months or more except during extended dry periods. Permeability of this soil type is rapid throughout.

Smyrna fine sand (#44) is a nearly level, poorly drained soil found on broad flatwoods. The surface layer of this soil type generally consists of black fine sand about 4 inches thick. The seasonal high water table for this soil type is within 10 inches of the surface for 1 to 4 months. It recedes to a depth of 10 to 40 inches for more than 6 months. Permeability of this soil type is rapid in the surface and subsurface layers and in the substratum. It is moderate to moderately rapid in the subsoil.

Camino Reale Site- Orange County, Florida (ETC File #321-01) Updated Environmental Assessment Page 3 of 12

Zolfo fine sand (#54) is a nearly level, somewhat poorly drained soil found on broad, slightly higher positions adjacent to the flatwoods. The surface layer of this soil type generally consists of dark grayish brown fine sand about 5 inches thick. The seasonal high water table for this soil type is at a depth of 24 to 40 inches for 2 to 6 months. It is at a depth of 10 to 24 inches during periods of heavy rain. It recedes to a depth of about 60 inches during extended dry periods. Permeability of this soil type is rapid in the surface and subsurface layers and is moderate in the subsoil.

The Florida Association of Environmental Soil Scientists (F AESS) considers the main components of Basinger fine sand, depressional (#3), Samsula muck (#40), Samsula-HontoonBasinger association, depressional (#41) and Sanibel muck (#42) to be hydric. The FAESS also recognizes inclusions present in St. Johns fine sand (#37) and Smyrna fine sand (#44) to be hydric. This information can be found in the Hydric Soils of Florida Handbook, Third Edition, March 2000.

VEGETATIVE COMMUNITIES AND LAND USE TYPES

A variety of different vegetative communities/land use types exist within the boundaries of the Camino Reale Site. These land use types were identified utilizing the Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms Classification System, Level III (FLUCFCS, FDOT, January 1999) (Figure 5). Based on existing technical data, assessments of the property by the previous owner's consultants, and our recent reviews, 12 different vegetative communities/land use types were identified on the site. The following provides brief descriptions for each of vegetative communities/land use types identified on the property:

Uplands

1891740 Other Recreational (Decommissioned Sports/Recreation Facility)/ Disturbed Lands

A decotrunissioned sports/recreation facility (skeet range) is located on the northern portion of the site. This inactive facility includes a lodge, storage and office facilities, associated parking, a previous RV facility, shooting stations, a caretaker's homesite, and disturbed areas associated with the remediation of the previous skeet range. The disturbed areas associated with this land use appear to have been graded in association with the remediation of the range waste material (lead removal). Stockpiled soils (cleaned materials) covered with tarps are scattered throughout these disturbed areas. Vegetation is sparse in these areas and includes bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum), dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium), wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera), rose natalgrass (Melinis repens), common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), guinea grass (Panicum maximum), muscadine grapevine (Vitis rotundifolia), broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus) , hairy indigo (Indigofera hirsute) and salt bush (Baccharis halimifolia).

814 Roads

There is a main roadway which traverses the project site fi·om north to south. This roadway extends fi·om Wewahootee Road south to T.M. Ranch Road.

Surface Waters/Wetlands

510 Strean1s and Waterways (Surface Water Ditches)

This land use type includes ditches and other waterways found throughout the property. These areas are generally man-made through uplands, or are improved wetland systems. The most prominent of these on · the site is the Disston Canal, which connects Lake Mary Jane to the Econlockhatchee River. This system is located adjacent to T.M. Ranch Road, on the southern portion of the property. Vegetation common to these systems consists of primrose willow (Ludwigia peruviana), Carolina willow (Salix carolinana), southern cattail (Typha sp.), pickerelweed (Ponterderia cordata), maidencane (Panicum hemitomon), torpedo grass (Panicum repens) and soft rush (Juncus eflusus).

534 Reservoirs less than 10 acres

There are three (3) man -made ponds (permitted storm water management ponds) on the northern portion of the site, in the vicinity of the decommissioned recreational facility. These water bodies are mostly void of vegetation. Sparse vegetation along the shorelines of these systems consists of southern cattail (Typha spJ, pickerelweed (Pontederia cordata), maidencane (Panicum hemitomon), torpedo grass (Panicum repens) and soft rush (Juncus eflusus).

621 Cypress

This community type is dominated by cypress (Taxodium spp.). There are two systems, one on the western property boundary and one in the north, which are best described by this FLUCFCS code. Other vegetative species identified in these areas include soft rush (Juncus eflusus) , Virginia chain fern (Woodwardia virginica), royal fern (Osmunda regalis), and spike rush (Eleocharis baldw inii).

630 Wetland Forested Mixed

This is the most abundant wetland cover type that exists throughout the site. The largest wetland system on the property, traversing the site from north to south and known as Roberts Island Slough, is associated with this cover type. These areas do not contain a dominant tree species, but a mixture of wetland vegetation which includes cypress (Taxodium sppJ, red maple (Acer rubrum) , pond pine (Pinus serafina) , sweetbay (Magnolia virginiana) , laurel oak (Quercus laurifoha), water oak (Quercus nigra) , · cabbage palm (Saba! palmetto) , royal fern Osmunda regalis) , poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) , pennywort (Hydrocotyle umbellata) , maidencane

(Panicum hemitomon), spike rush (Eleocharis baldwinii), soft rush (Juncus effitsus), Juncus spp., sedges (Carex sp. and Cyperus sp.) , broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus) , primrose willow (Ludwigia octavalvis), pickerelweed (Pontederia cordata), duck potato (Saggitaria lancifolia) and elderberry (Sambucus canadensis).

641 Freshwater Marshes

Two (2) low-lying wetland areas, which appear to display regular periods of inundation and no tree canopy, are located near the western property boundary. These herbaceous dominated systems are best described as Freshwater Marshes per the FLUCFCS. Vegetation in these areas includes maidencane (Panicum hemitomon), spike rush (Eleocharis baldwinii), Juncus sp., sedges (Carex sp. and Cyperus sp.), St. Johns wort (Hypericum sp.), broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus), 1neadow-beauty (Rhexia spJ, beakrush (Rhynchospora sp.), cattail (Typha sp.), pickerelweed (Pontederia cordata), duck potato (Saggitaria lancifolia), umbrella grass (Fuirena squarrosa), soft rush (Juncus effusus), primrose willow (Ludwigia peruviana), pennywort (Hydrocotyle umbellata) and wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera).

643 Wet Prairies

Two (2) small areas that are not as inundated as regularly as the freshwater marshes described above exist on the southern portion of the site. These areas are generally more seasonally wet, and can appear as pasture land during the dry season. Vegetation in these systems consists of soft rush (Juncus effusus) , pennywort (Hydrocotyle umbellata), sedges (Carex sp. and Cyperus sp.) , and 1neadow-beauty (Rhexia spJ.

All of the above described surface waters and wetlands were delineated in the field by staff from Bio-Tech Consulting, Inc. The delineations were conducted in accordance with South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), United States Anny Corps of Engineers (USACOE) and Orange County Environmental Protection Division (OCEPD) criteria. At the present time the wetland limits set have been approved in the field by the OCEPD and Conservation Area Determination (CAD) #13-10-055 (previously part of CAD #07-122) was issued for the site. This CAD is valid through November 4, 2018.

LISTED PLANTS AND WILDLIFE

Utilizing methodologies outlined in the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's (FFWCC's) Wildlife Survey Methodology Guidelines for Section 18D of the Application for Development Approval (FGFWFC, 1988), an assessment for "listed" floral and faunal species occurring within the subject property boundaries was conducted. This survey covered approximately 50% of the subject property. Particular attention was given to those listed species which have the potential to occur in Orange County (see attached Table 1). The review included direct observations, as well as evidence of a particular species ' presence such as tracks, burrows, tree markings and birdcalls. No plant species listed by either the Florida Department of

Camino Reale Site- Orange County, Florida (ETC F;!e #321-01) Updated Environmental Assessment Page 7 of 12

Agriculture (FDA) or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) were observed on the site during the survey. The following is a list ofthose wildlife species identified during the evaluation of the site:

Reptiles and Amphibians brown anole (Anolis sagrei) black racer (Coluber constrictor) fence lizard (Sceloporus undulatus) southern toad (Bufo terrestris) gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphenzus) water moccasin (Agkistrodon piscivorus) green anole (Anolis caroliniana) green tree frog (Hyla cinerea) pig frog (Rana grylio) six-lined racerunner (Cnemidophorus sexlineatus sexlineatus) southern leopard frog (Rana utricularia)

Birds Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata) Northern Mockingbird (Mimis polyglottos) Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura) Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) Tree Swallow (Fachycineta bicolor) Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) Great Egret (Casmerodius albus)

Birds (cont'd) Turkey Vulture (Cathartes aura) Florida Sandhill Crane (Grus canadensis pratensis) (potential) Red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) Red-shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus) Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) Black Vulture (Coragyps atratus) Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis) Eastern Loggerhead Shrike (Lanius ludovicianus migrans) Great Crested Flycatcher (Myiarchus crinitus) Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) Pileated Woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus) Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) Wide-Eyed Vireo (Vireo griseus)

Mammals cotton mouse (Peromyscus gossypinus) eastern cottontail (Sylvilagus jloridanus)

feral hog (Sus scrofa) marsh rabbit (Sylvilagus palustris) Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana) white-tail deer (Odocoileus virginianus) nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) raccoon (Procyon lotor) eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) pocket gopher (Geomys pinetis)

Two (2) of the above mentioned species were identified as listed in the FFWCC Official List of Endangered and Potentially Endangered Fauna and Flora in Florida (January 2013). These species are the gopher tortoise and the Florida Sandhill Crane. The following provides a brief description of these species as they relate to development of the property. Potential additional wildlife issues pertaining to the development of the property will also be discussed below.

Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus polyphentus) State Listed as "Threatened"

Currently the gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) is classified as a "Category 2 Candidate Species" by USFWS, and as of September 2007 is now classified as "Threatened" by FFWCC, and as "Threatened" by FCREPA. The basis of the "Threatened" classification by the FFWCC for the gopher tortoise is due to habitat loss and destruction of burrows. Gopher tortoises are commonly found in areas with well-drained soils associated with the pine flatwoods, pastures and abandoned orange groves. Several other protected species known to occur in Orange County have a possibility of occurring in this area, as they are gopher tortoise commensal species. These species include the eastern indigo snake (Drymarchon cora is couperi), Florida mouse (Podomys floridanus) and the gopher frog (Rana capita). However, none of these species were observed during the survey conducted.

The subject property was surveyed for the existence of gopher tortoises through the use of pedestrian transects (Figure 6). The survey covered approximately 75o/o of the suitable habitat present within the subject property boundaries. A total of 163 active/inactive gopher tortoise burrows were observed on the site and recorded using GPS technology. Based on 163 potentially occupied burrows, it is estimated that 134 are occupied by a tortoise. This nun1ber is based on the factored occupation rate of0.614 (Auffenburg-Franz).

The FFWCC provides three (3) options for developers that have gopher tortoises on their property. These options include: 1) avoidance (i.e., 25-foot buffer around burrow), 2) preservation of habitat, and 3) off-site relocation. As such, resolution of the gopher tortoise issue will need to be permitted through FFWCC prior to any construction activities.

Camino Reale Site- Orange County, Florida (ETC File #321-01) Updated Environmental Assessment Page 9 of 12

Florida Sandhill Crane (Grus canadensis pratensis) State Listed as "Threatened" by FFWCC

Cranes were observed foraging on the subject property. The Florida Sandhill Crane is a subspecies of Sandhill Crane that occurs exclusively and is resident to Florida (Stys 1997). Of the six (6) subspecies of Sandhill Crane, the Greater Sandhill Crane (Grus canadensis tab ida) is the only other subspecies of Sandhill Crane that occurs regularly in Florida (Stys 1997). This subspecies is a winter migrant, aniving in Florida during late fall (October/November) and leaving in late February (Stys 1997). Since the Florida Sandhill Crane and Greater Sandhill Crane cannot be distinguished fi·om one another in the field, Stys (1997) recommends conducting surveys between May and September to validate the presence of this protected species. Due to the titne of year this survey was conducted (February), the presence Florida Sandhill Cranes on the site cannot be verified at this time. To date, no Florida Sandhill Crane nests have been observed on the site by BTC during past monitoring events and assessments dating back to 2006. If nesting of this species did occur on-site, the FFWCC typically requires a 400-foot buffer around nests in order to prevent nest disturbance and potential nest abandomnent. Since cranes do not re-use the same nest year after year, this 400-foot buffer is only temporary during the nesting season (i.e., anytime from January through June). Since no nests were observed on-site or nearby, there should be no development constraints associated with this species.

USFWS CONSULTATION AREAS

The USFWS has established "consultation areas" for certain listed species. Generally, these consultation areas only become an issue if USFWS or Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) consultation is required, which is usually associated with permitting through the U.S. Anny Corps of Engineers. The user should be aware that species presence and need for additional review are often determined to be unnecessary early in the permit review process due to lack of appropriate habitat or other conditions. However, the USFWS 1nakes the final determination.

Consultation areas are typically very regional in size, often spanning multiple counties where the species in question is known to exist. Consultation areas by themselves do not indicate the presence of a listed species. They only indicate an area where there is a potential for a listed species to occur and that additional review might be necessary to confirm or rule-out the presence of the species. The additional review typically includes the application of speciesspecific criteria to rule-out or confirm the presence ofthe species in question. Such criteria might consist of a simple review for critical habitat types. In other cases, the review might include the need for species-specific surveys using established methodologies that have been approved by the USFWS.

The following information includes a list of the USFWS Consultations Areas associated with the subject site. Also included, is a brief description of the respective species habitat and potential for additional review:


Audubon's Crested Caracara (Polvborus plane us audubonii) Federally Listed as "Threatened" by USFWS

The subject site falls within the USFWS Consultation Areas for the species Crested Caracara (Polyborus planeus audubonii). Currently the crested caracara is listed as threatened by the USFWS due primarily to habitat loss. The crested caracara com1nonly occurs in dry or wet prairie areas with scattered cabbage plams, lightly wooded areas with saw palmetto, scrub oaks and cypress. The caracara also uses improved or semi-improved pasture with seasonal wetlands. crested caracaras consturct new nests each nesting season, often in the same tree as the previous year.

Although the subject site falls within the USFWS Crested Caracara consultation area, none were observed and no optimal habitat for this species exists within the property boundaries. As such, its presence is not expected and no further action should be required pertaining to this species.

Red Cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides boreali) Federally Listed as "Endangered" by USFWS

The Red Cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides boreali) is a federally endangered species by the USFWS. The basis for the listing is loss and degradation of suitable habitat. This species is commonly found in open park-like pine forests maintained by periodic fire, such as mature longleaf pine ecosystem. The Red Cockaded Woodpecker is a federally and state protected endangered species that is protected and should not be injured, harmed, molested or killed.

Although the subject site falls within the USFWS Red Cockaded Woodpecker consultation area, none were observed and no optimal habitat for this species exists within the property boundaries. As such, its presence is not expected and no further action should be required pertaining to this species.

Sand Skink (Neoseps revnoldsi) Federally Listed as "Threatened" by USFWS

The subject site falls within the Sand Skink Consultation Area for the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The sand skink is listed as "Threatened" by the USFWS. The sand skink exists in areas vegetated with sand pine (Pinus clausa) - rosemary (Ceratiola ericoides) scrub or a long leaf pine (Pinus palustris) - turkey oak (Quercus laevis) association. Habitat destruction is the primary threat to this species' survival. Citrus groves, residential, commercial and recreational facilities have depleted the xeric upland habitat ofthe sand skink. All properties within the limits of this consultation area that are located at elevations greater than 80' and contain suitable (moderate-to-weB drained soils) soils are believed by USFWS to be areas of potential sand skink habitat.


The results of a pedestrian survey in February 2014 show no evidence (i.e. sinusoidal tracks) that indicate the presence of the sand skink. Based on this, as well as the elevations of the property (<80 ' ), this species is not expected on the property and no fmiher action should be required.

Florida Scrub-Jay (A pheloconw coerulescens) Federally Listed as "Threatened" by USFWS

Currently the Florida Scrub-Jay is listed as threatened by the USFWS. Florida Scrub Jays are largely restricted to scattered, often small and isolated patches of sand pine scrub, xeric oak, scrubby flatwoods , and scrubby coastal stands in peninsular Florida (Woolfenden 1978a, Fitzpatrick et al. 1991 ). They avoid wetlands and forests, including canopied sand pine stands. Optimal Scrub-Jay habitat is dominated by shrubby scrub, live oaks, myrtle oaks, or scrub oaks fi·otn 1 to 3 n1 (3 to 10 ft.) tall , covering 50% to 90 % of the area; bare ground or sparse vegetation less than 15 em ( 6 in) tall covering 10% to 5 Oo/o of the area; and scattered trees with no more than 20% canopy cover (Fitzpatrick et al. 1991).

No Scrub Jays were observed on the subject site during the cursory survey conducted by BTC. A formal Scrub-Jay survey may be necessary to determine if Scrub Jays exist within the xeric oak areas existing on the site. A formal survey would also include a report detailing development implications and mitigation that will be required, in the event a presence was confirmed.

Everglade S nail Kite (R ostrhamus sociabilis) Federally Listed as "Endangered" by USFWS

The subject site falls within the USFWS Consultation Area for the Everglade Snail Kite. Currently the Snail Kite is listed as "Endangered" by the USFWS. Snail Kites are similar in size to Red-shouldered Hawks. All Snail Kites have deep red eyes and a white rump patch. Males are slate gray, and females and juveniles vary in amounts ofwhite, light brown, and dark brown, but the females always have white on their chin. Kites vocalize mainly during courtship and nesting. They may occur in nearly all of the wetlands of central and southern Florida. They regularly occur in lake shallows along the shores and islands of many major lakes, including Lakes Okeechobee, Kissimmee, Tohopekaliga (Toho) and East Toho. They also regularly occur in the expansive marshes of southern Florida such as Water Conservation Areas 1, 2, and 3, Everglades National Park, the upper St. John's River marshes and Grassy Waters Preserve.

Although the subject site falls within the USFWS Snail Kite consultation area, none were observed and no suitable habitat for this species exists within the propetiy boundaries. As such, its presence is not expected and no further action should be required pertaining to this species.


The envirorunental limitations described in this document are based on observations and teclu1ical information available on the date of the on-site evaluation.

Subject: Facilities Analysis and Capacity Report 2014-2 Regular Cycle Comprehensive Plan Amendments

Orange County Utilities (OCU) staff reviewed the proposed development programs as submitted by the Planning Division and have concluded improvements to the County's water and wastewater treatment plans are not required to provide an adequate level of service consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's Potable Water, Wastewater and Reclaimed Water Element for tho~e properties within OCU' s service area. The Comprehensive Plan includes a 10-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan addressing the needs of our service area. Supporting documentation is provided in the attached Potable Water and Wastewater Facilities Analysis table.

As of today OCU has sufficient plant capacity to serve the subject amendments. This capacity is available to projects within OCU's service area and will be reserved upon payment of capital charges in accordance with County resolutions and ordinances. Transmission system capacity will be evaluated at the time of Master Utility Plan review and permitting, or at the request of the applicant.

OCU's ground'Yater allocation is regulated by its consumptive use permits (CUP). OCU is working toward alternative water supply (A WS) sources and agreements with third party water providers to meet the future water demands within our service area. While OCU cannot guarantee capacity to any project beyond its permitted capacity, we will continue to pursue the extension of the CUP and the incorporation of A WS and other water resources sufficient to provide service capacity to projects within the service area.

If you need additional information, please contact me or Laura Woodbury at 407 254-9928.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Mirna Barq FROM: Joseph T. Roviaro, AICP DATE: May 12, 2014 RE: Continuing Transportation Planning and Engineering Services –

Camino Reale, Transportation Facilities Analysis Amendment Review (LTEC № 12-0601S, OC Y12-903B)

The purpose of this memorandum is to provide a review of the proposed Camino Reale Transportation Facility Analysis report. The proposed development consists of approximately ±1,039 gross acres of which approximately ±676.9 acres are developable. The study site is located within the Innovation /way Overlay District. The exact location is difficult to determine because Figure 1 was missing from the report.

The submission of the April 2014 report is adequate for complete review. Specific comments and findings are provided below.

Introduction

The development density listed in Table 1 assuming a rural development density of one (1) dwelling unit per 10 acres for the current FLUP designation is reasonable and therefore acceptable. The requested Proposed FLUM maximum density of 3,000 dwelling units and 330,000 square feet of office/retail is also reasonable and acceptable.

Access is proposed via the Innovation Way South Corridor with a secondary access connection via Lake Mary Jane Road.

Existing Traffic Conditions

The use of the County traffic information is correct and acceptable. The findings shown in Table 2 are correct for the roadways listed. Page 3 incorrectly states that all the study roadway currently operate within their adopted capacity. Alafaya Trail between Lake Underhill Road and Curry Ford Road currently has traffic that exceeds the adopted level of service threshold. Please correct page 3.

Planned and Programmed Improvements

The Applicant has correctly listed the future planned or programmed improvements within the impact area.

Luke Transportation Engineering Consultants


Trip Generation and Distribution

The use of data contained in the 9th Edition ITE Trip Generation Report is acceptable. The Applicant has utilized the equations for calculating traffic volumes for the residential and retail land use. The internal capture of 8% daily and 8.1% for the P.M. peak hour is reasonable and acceptable. However, due to the fact that Innovation Way Southern Corridor does not currently exist, the reduction for Pass-by seems unreasonable since no land use plan has been submitted showing the retail location and no background traffic projections have been provided. Please revise Table 3 to remove the Pass-by Retail trip reduction and revise the future roadway analysis.

In addition, the model does not show a connection to Lake Mary Jane Road. The Applicant may want to revise the analysis to show a southern connection with a separate traffic analysis zone for the limited amount of residential proposed.

A review of Table 4 and the model output plot provided in the Appendix showed a number of roadway segments where the model distribution did not match the value listed in Table 4. Please revise Table 4 with the correct Project trip distribution values (carrying them out one decimal place may help) and update the Project trips based on the comment above on removing the pass-by retail trip reduction. Please add the Innovation Way Southern Corridor roadway to the analysis tables.

Projected Conditions Analysis

Both the 2018 and 2030 analysis years are acceptable.

The use of a 2% annual growth rate is acceptable. However, a review of the analysis tables shows growth rates for the Interim year that exceed the 2% annual growth rate and growth rates for the Horizon year that are less than the 2% annual growth rate. Please provide an explanation for the discrepancies.

The Interim year and Horizon year Base Analysis tables are correct for the volumes shown. However the analysis for the projected conditions needs to be revised to per the comment regarding Pass-by trips and the model distribution. Please revise the Proposed Conditions analysis tables based on the comments above. The analysis results may not change dramatically, but an additional roadway segment may be projected to be deficient.

The statement listed on page 11 that the “proposed amendment will not adversely impact the projected conditions on the roadway segments” is misleading and incorrect. Based on the information supplied in Table 4, the Project would be adverse on any roadway segment that is deficient and the Project traffic is 3% or more of the adopted LOS. Please revise the statement on page 11 to correctly list the significantly impacted roadway segments.

Mitigation Plan

Participation in the development of the Innovation Way transportation roadway network is commendable.

Study Conclusions

In summary, based on this Transportation Facilities Analysis Comprehensive Plan Amendment, the Applicant has not fully demonstrated that the proposed land use

Luke Transportation Engineering Consultants


change will not significantly impact the transportation network within the identified impact area. At a minimum the Applicant should address the following:

• The report should be revised to include a Figure 1 showing the Project location. • The report should include a conceptual land use plan. • The report should be revised to correct the incorrect statement on page 3. • Revise Table 3 to remove the Pass-by Retail trip reduction and revise the future

roadway analysis. • Please provide a model assignment for the Interim year analysis. • Should the Applicant proceed with a southern access connection, please revise

the model assignments with the second access connection. • Please revise Table 4 with the correct Project trip distribution values (carrying

them out one decimal place may help) and update the Project trips based on the comment above on removing the pass-by retail trip reduction.

• Please add the Innovation Way Southern Corridor roadway to the analysis tables. • Please correct and ensure that the Project trip distributions in Table 4 match the

model plots. • Please provide an explanation on the process utilized to develop the background

growth rates. • Please revise the Proposed Conditions analysis tables based on the above

4/30/14 Page 8 of 11 S:\Engineering Support\Comprehensive_Policy_Plan\Regular Cycle\2014-2\2014-2 Regular Cycle EPD Comments Revised.doc

Amendment # 2014-2-A-4-4 Camino Reale aka Rio Reale From: Rural (R) To: Innovation Way Owner: Rio Reale Properties Orlando, LLC Agent: Thomas Daly, Daly Design Group Parcels: 01-24-31-0000-00-011 Address: Bunkhouse Rd. District: 4 Area: 1,032.9 gross / 676.90 net developable acres EPD Comments: 1. This project shall follow the Environmental Land Stewardship Program (ELSP) Policies

as adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on October 13, 2009 and published in code April 20, 2010. Orange County Code (OCC) Chapter 15, Article XVIII Environmental Land Stewardship requires that all applications for comprehensive plan amendments within the Innovation Way Overlay (Future Land Use Element Goal FLU5) must provide sufficient information to determine compliance with the requirements of the ELSP ordinance. The material submitted for this request does not currently provide sufficient information. The applicant is directed to review the above referenced code and supply the required information as outlined. In addition to statements of intent to comply with the ELSP Ordinance in total and in some general concepts OCC Chapter 15-825(a), some specific documentation is required (but not limited to) OCC Chapter 15-825(b): a draft Environmental Land Stewardship Area Determination (ELSAD), a draft environmental land stewardship (ELS) agreement, baseline data on any wildlife and plant species listed as referenced in code, and a draft restoration plan for proposed stewardship lands that were altered after October 13, 2009. Note that there are additional code requirements in OCC Chapter 15-825(b)(2) to occur in conjunction with approval of comprehensive plan amendments. Direct questions about applicability and exemptions to the County Environmental Protection Officer.

2. This project shall follow the Innovation Way Environmental Policies as adopted by the BCC on June 13, 2006.

3. There are environmentally sensitive lands within this project area as defined in the Innovation Way Environmental Policies. These policies include, but are not limited to, an existing Water Management District conservation easement, wetlands (reference Orange County Conservation Area Determination CAD-13-10-055 with expiration date of November 4, 2018 previously part of CAD 07-122), wetland buffers and other areas yet to be defined in an analysis of the site uplands for rare habitat and wildlife corridor connectivity.

4. Approval of this request does not authorize any direct or indirect impacts to conservation areas or environmentally sensitive lands until permitting is complete. The




applicant is advised not to make financial decisions based upon development within a wetland, surface water area, or environmentally sensitive lands. Any plan showing development in such areas without Orange County and other jurisdictional governmental agency permits is speculative and may not be approved.

5. Crossings of wetlands shall meet all ELSP requirements and, as applicable, the Econlockhatchee River Protection Ordinance Code. Wetland crossing locations are speculative and until sufficient information is provided, and appropriate permitting is obtained, may not be approved. The impacts proposed would have to meet permitting requirements and would need a Public Hearing before the Board of County Commissioners.

6. A portion of the project is within the geographical limits of the Econlockhatchee River Protection ordinance, Chapter 15 Article XI, where basin-wide regulations apply. The applicant should contact the Orange County Environmental Protection Division (EPD), Natural Resources Section Administrator for a determination on the applicability of these regulations throughout the project since it is under one parcel identification number at this time.

7. Portions of the property were used as a recreational gun club that included shotgun and rifle ranges. Samples have documented contamination exceeding standards in some areas of soil, surface water and pond sediment. The historic use yields potential for groundwater contamination as an issue as well. The United State Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a notice of violation (EPA ID Number FLR000120139) on June 17, 2013 investigating hazardous and nonhazardous waste management, storage, and disposal practices on portions of this site. The state FDEP had been involved with this analysis but now defers to the EPA. Previous discussions have also urged analysis of groundwater in this area. An “exp Services” report dated July 24, 2013 repeats this recommendation in the report executive summary. The applicant has discussed the presence of piles of treated lead impacted soil and their use as potential road base or as base material beneath parking lots and/or building. The county has concerns with the long term potential for leaching of lead impacted groundwater from this stabilized soil. The applicant had been working with FDEP to investigate the leaching potential of the stabilized soil contained in the stockpiles. If the stabilized material is utilized on-site, then EPD would recommend Engineering and Intuitional controls to prevent exposure and limit potential for leaching. EPD recommends that the covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) contain notification that portions of this property have, or had been, identified with soil and/or groundwater contamination. The wording of such notice will be decided upon as the EPA review continues and further information is provided.

8. The covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) shall contain notification to




potential purchasers, builders or tenants of this property that the adjacent land use includes state or county 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 include, but are 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.

9. The County EPD cannot support gopher tortoise relocation to wetland buffers unless the applicant supplies additional information such as permits from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC).

10. Prior to mass grading, clearing, grubbing or construction, the applicant is hereby noticed that this site must comply with habitat protection regulations of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC).

11. 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.

Amendment # 2014-2-A-5-1 Vaughan Industrial Park From: Industrial (IND) To: Medium Density Residential (MDR) Owner: Vaughan Industrial Properties, LLC Agent: Donald W. McIntosh, Jr., Donald W. McIntosh Associates, Inc. Parcels: 02-22-30-0000-00-037/088 Address: 4460 & 4520 N Goldenrod Rd. District: 4 Area: 16.62 gross acres EPD Comments: These properties were previously reviewed for the Development Review Committee (DRC) as the Vaughan Industrial Park Preliminary Subdivision Plan (PSP) #5037681. There is one Class III wetland of 3 acres located on the northeastern side of this project site. Orange County Conservation Area Determination CAD 05-255 and Impact Permit CAI 07-052 were completed for these properties. However, these permits have expired. Contact the EPD Environmental Permitting staff at 407-836-1400 to submit new applications. The new CAD must be completed with a certified survey of the conservation area boundary approved by EPD prior to submittal of a preliminary subdivision or development plan. 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 EPD. Reference Orange County Code Chapter 15, Article X, Section 15-376. Approval of this request does not authorize any direct or indirect impacts to conservation areas or protective buffers. 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 to determine the presence of listed species and obtain any required habitat permits from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). The environmental support document dated July 2007 submitted with the application for conservation area impacts reported the presence of gopher tortoises on site.
