GOAL 1-2: FUTURE LAND USE MAP. CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN AND MANAGE A
FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
The Future Land Use Map Series, Maps 1-1 through 1-13, reflect City policy for managing the
allocation of future land use. The Future Land Use Map Series (Base Year 2005) is supported by the
Comprehensive Plan Data Inventory And Analysis (1991). Land use designations on the future land
use maps have been allocated pursuant to goals, objectives and policies stipulated in the Compre-
hensive Plan, together with analysis of population, housing and land resources. The process of
allocating these land use designations has considered the need to conserve natural resources including
wetlands, the Lake Monroe Shoreline, flood plains, water recharge areas, fish and wildlife,
consideration of capital improvement needs, and conservation of fiscal resources.
Obiective 1-2.1: Allocating Residential Development. The Future Land Use Map, identifying
future land use policy, shall allocate residential density based on the following considerations:

reclaimed water use in lieu of potable water for irrigation.
5. Council of Local Governments. The Council of Local Governments serves as a mechanism
for policy level coordination between the City of Sanford and surrounding municipalities.
6. Seminole County Board of Public Instruction. The Sanford City Commission and Seminole
County School Board conduct joint meetings on an annual basis to discuss items of mutual
interest including the use of School Board or City property and facilities for maximum
mutual benefit.
In addition, the Planning and Technical Advisory Committee discusses issues and
formulates recommendations to the Public Schools Facilities Planning Committee (PSFPC)
regarding coordination of land use and school facilities planning.
The PSFPC will serve as the required oversight committee for school concurrency to
monitor and evaluate the school concurrency program.
A. The monitoring and evaluation of the school concurrency process is required
pursuant to Section 163.3180(13)(g)(6)(c), F.S., and Section 2 of the lnterlocal
Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and School Concurrency. The
PSFPC shall be responsible for preparing an annual assessment report on the
effectiveness of the School Concurrency System. The report will be made available
to the public and presented at the PSFPC March meeting.
B. The PSFPC shall evaluate the effectiveness of the concurrency service areas for
measuring the level of service and consider making recommendations to amend the
CSA Map.

C. By August 1st of each year, the PSFPC shall receive the proposed School Board's
District Educational Facilities Work Plan and the Five-Year Capital Improvement
Plan. The PSFPC will report to the School Board, the County, and the Cities on
whether or not the proposed Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan maintains the
adopted Level of Service in each CSA by adding enough projects to increase the
capacity. The PSFPC will examine the need to eliminate any permanent student
station shortfalls by including required modernization of existing facilities, and by
providing permanent student stations for the projected growth in enrollment over
each of the five (5) years covered by the plan.

8. V olusia County. Because the City of Sanford borders V olusia County, the two entities
share concerns of growth management. If Sanford continues to grow as projected, the City
will probably emerge as an important wholesale, distribution, manufacturing and
employment center. A consistent exchange of information will assist in monitoring the
impacts of growth within the two areas and in signaling when more concerted joint planning
efforts may become necessary.
9. U.S. Highway 17-92 Corridor Redevelopment Committee. Seminole County local
governments together with their respective Chambers of Commerce are initiating an effort
to revitalize, redevelop, and beautify the U.S. Highway 17-92 corridor. The Committee's
main goal is to strengthen the economic vitality and introduce landscaping and urban design
amenities along U.S. 17-92.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT
CHAPTER 8: CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT
This section stipulates goals, objectives, and implementing policies
for the Capital Improvements Element pursuant to
163.3177(3)(a), F.S., and 9J-5.016(3), F.A.C.
GOAL 8-1: MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS. THE CITY SHALL
UNDERTAKE ACTIONS NECESSARY TO ADEQUATELY PROVIDE
NEEDED PUBLIC FACILITIES WITHIN THE CITY'S JURISDICTION IN
A MANNER WHICH PROTECTS INVESTMENTS AND EXISTING
FACILITIES, MAXIMIZES THE USE OF EXISTING FACILITIES, AND
PROMOTES ORDERLY COMPACT GROWTH.
Obiective 8-1.1: Rationale For Capital Improvements. Capital improvements will be provided
for purposes of correcting existing deficiencies, accommodating desired future growth, and
replacing worn-out or obsolete facilities, as indicated in the five-year schedule of improvements
contained within this Element.
Policv 8-1.1.1: Intent of Capital Improvement Element. The City is committed to growth
management which incorporates appropriate fiscal management practices and procedures. The City
shall consider the use of all legal and equitable fiscal management techniques to achieve delivery of
public services and facilities needed by existing and anticipated future populations. The capital
improvement program presented herein identifies capital improvements needed by the existing
population to satisfy levels of service standards incorporated within this Comprehensive Plan. The
City shall consider performance standards as well as legal and equitable impact fees, where
appropriate, to ensure that new developments provide in advance of development a sufficient level
of public facilities and services (or fees in lieu thereof) in order to cover the costs of needed
facilities and services, the demands for which are specifically attributable to such new development.
This element shall provide a basis for estimating fiscal impacts required by capital improvements
included in the Comprehensive Plan. The capital improvements program and budgeting process
provides an on-going process for continuing planning and review of the City's capital outlays,
including their location, timing, estimated cost, relative priority, and potential funding sources. The
capital improvement program and budget process is an advisory planning function. Capital outlays
are fixed only by the City Commission.
Policv 8-1.1.2: Capital Improvement Program. The term "capital improvement" project, as used
in the Comprehensive plan is defined as a project that is self-contained and that will usually be
constructed or purchased as a unit. The City hereby adopts the 2007-2008 Five Year Capital
Improvement Plan of the Final Budget for Fiscal Year 2007-08 as adopted by Resolution of the
School Board of Seminole County on September 11, 2007 into the City's Capital Improvements
Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. In doing so, Sanford shall have neither the obligation
nor the responsibility for funding or accomplishing the School Board Five-Year Capital
Improvement Plan.
Capital improvements generally include only those items constructed or purchased that have a
useful life extending beyond a ten year period following their acquisition, and usually involve a cost
8-1
CITY OF SANFORD
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT
in excess of $25,000 or involve the acquisition or disposal of land regardless of cost. Minor
recurring annual expense items, including routine maintenance and repairs, are excluded. All
projects that are to be financed from bond funds are included. Similarly, preliminary engineering
studies for public facilities such as the design improvements to the transportation, water,
wastewater, public school facilities and drainage systems are generally itemized as capital
expenditure items due to their significant cost and their impact on the capital improvement
program. The capital improvement program and budget is concerned with the assessment of need,
assignment of priorities, and efficient allocation of the City's existing and potential fiscal resources
for major community improvements or acquisitions over a five to ten year period. The fundamental
purposes ofthe capital programming process are as follows:
a. To consolidate and coordinate all the various departmental requests by taxing district with
the hope of reducing delays and coordinating individual improvement programs.
b. To establish a system of procedures and priorities by which each proposal can be evaluated
in terms of public needs, long range development plans, and short and long-term fiscal
management impacts.
c. To schedule future capital outlay projects pursuant to identified needs and priorities.
d. To set forth a financing program that identifies potential funding sources, including but not
limited to ad valorem taxes/general obligation bonds; user fees/revenue of excise tax bonds;
grant programs; equitable contributions (exactions, such as impact fees) as well as
performance standards and other components of a growth management program which may
be used as fiscal strategies for obtaining needed capital improvements in developing areas.
e. To coordinate joint projects involving participation by one or more local governments, as
well as regional, state, or federal agencies.
Policv 8-1.1.3: Capital Improvement Program and Budget as a Plan Implementation Device.
The capital improvements program shall be used for achieving orderly urban growth and
development. By providing a planned and reasonably reliable schedule of public projects, the
capital improvement program and budget shall provide a guide for both public and private capital
investment decisions influencing community development patterns. The capital improvement
programming and budgeting process is a primary tool for closely coordinating land use planning
and fiscal management required to successfully carry out the Comprehensive Plan.Policv 8-1.1.4:
Availability and Scheduling of Capital Improvements. The City shall include within the five-
year schedule of capital improvements all capital improvements which are identified in any of the
respective elements of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The five-year capital improvements
program (CIP) and annual capital budget shall be prepared by the City and the CIP and budget shall
be adopted by the City Commission.
In the case of the capital improvement program for public school facilities, the City relies on the
School Board's obligation to prepare, adopt and implement a financially feasible capital facilities
program to achieve public schools operating at the adopted level of service consistent with the
timing specified in the Board's Capital Facilities Plan.
8-2
CITY OF SANFORD
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT
The capital improvement program and budget process shall be used to plan for needed
infrastructure improvements to serve developments for which development orders were issued prior
to plan adoption. The City shall also promote code enforcement as a means to assure availability of
such services as deemed appropriate.
Potiev 8-1.1.5: Priorities in Allocating Capital Improvements. In allocating priorities for
scheduling and funding capital improvement needs, the City shall assign highest priority to capital
improvement projects in the five-year schedule of improvements which are designed to correct
existing deficiencies.
Potiev 8-1.1.6: City Manager to Draft and Rank Capital Improvement Priorities. The City
Manager shall have the authority and responsibility to evaluate and recommend a rank order of
priority for each capital improvement that has been generated by the City and which is proposed for
inclusion in the five-year schedule of capital improvements. The City Commission shall review
and retain its authority to adopt the recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Commission with
or without modifications in the proposed five-year schedule of improvements.
Potiev 8-1.1. 7: Capital Improvement Project Evaluation Criteria. Proposed capital
improvement projects shall be evaluated and ranked according to the following priority level
guidelines:
a. "Levell ": Whether the project is needed to:
. Protect public health and safety.
. Fulfill the City's legal commitment to provide facilities and services.
. Preserve or achieve full use of existing facilities.
b. "Level 2": Whether the project accomplishes the following:
. Increases efficiency of existing facilities.
. Prevents or reduces future improvement costs.
. Provides service to developed areas lacking full service or
promotes in-fill development.
c. "Level 3": Whether the project:
. Represents a logical extension of facilities and services in a manner consistent with
future Land Use Element goals, objectives and policies, including the Future Land
Use Map.
The applicable plans of state agencies and the St. Johns River Water Management District shall be
part of the evaluation criteria for capital improvement projects.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT
Obiective 8-1.2: _Future Developments To Bear Costs Of Their Respective Infrastructure
Impacts. Future development shall bear a proportionate cost for facility improvements necessitated
by the development in order to maintain adopted levels of service (LOS) standards. This objective
shall be measured through the implementation of the following policies.
Policv 8-1.2.1: Funding Transportation Impacts Generated by New Development. The City
shall participate in the Seminole County traffic impact fee program for purposes of assisting the
funding of new or improved roadways and intersection improvements required to accommodate
traffic demands of new development. The traffic impact fee program assesses new development a
pro-rata share of costs required to fund transportation improvement needs generated by such
development. The local option gas tax and other funding measure which may be made available to
the City shall be used to supplement impact fees and non-County-maintained transportation
improvements.
Policv 8-1.2.2: Recreation Impact Fees. The City shall continue to enforce the City's recreation
impact fee which shall require that new development pay a pro-rata for recreational land and facility
needs generated by the respective developments.
Policv 8-1.2.3: Funding Water and Wastewater Impacts Generated by New Development.
The City shall continue assessing impact fees from new development for water and wastewater
facility improvements necessitated by the respective development. The land development
regulations shall continue to incorporate performance criteria assuring that all new development
provide water and wastewater improvements meeting adopted levels of service standards.
Policv 8-1.2.4: Funding Drainage Impacts. The City shall continue to reconcile deficiencies in
the drainage system through the implementation of identified capital improvements projects, and
by maintaining the storm water utility district as a dedicated funding source for drainage
improvements. The City shall continue to comply with the standards for discharge authorized by
EP A permit No. FLS 000038 or its successor under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System. The City has identified the following projects as part of its Five Year Capital
Improvement Program related to Drainage:
. Mill Creek Phase 3A--Pond--Goldsboro Pond (1998-99) to be funded through a Bond
. Mill Creek Phase 3B--Property Acquisition for Pond (1999) to be funded through a Bond
. Mill Creek Phase 3B--Pond and Culvert South to 14th (1999) to be funded through a Bond
. Renewal/Replacement Drainage (1999 to 2002) to be funded through Stormwater Utility
Fund
. Downtown Interceptor Project (1999 to 2000) to be funded through Stormwater Utility Fund
Policy 8-1.2.5: School Impact Fees. The City shall continue to collect impact fees imposed by the
School Board to fund public school facility needs generated by new development.
Obiective 8-1.3: Fiscal Resource Management. The City shall manage fiscal resources to ensure
provision of needed capital improvements for previously issued development orders and for future
development and redevelopment.
8-4
CITY OF SANFORD
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT
Policv 8-1.3.1: Availability of Adequate Public Facilities. The City shall issue no development
order for new development which would result in an increase in demand on deficient facilities prior
to completion of improvements needed to bring the respective facility up to standard. The City
shall include an adequate facilities requirement as part of the concurrency management regulations
within the updated land development regulations.
The provisions governing adequate facilities shall mandate that future applications for development
shall include a written evaluation of the impact of the anticipated development on the levels of
services for the water and wastewater systems, solid waste system, drainage, recreation, public
school facilities, and the traffic circulation system. Prior to issuing a building permit the City shall
render a finding that the applicant has provided written assurance that the proposed development
shall be served with each of the above cited facilities. The written statement shall ensure
compliance with the City's adopted level of service standards cited in Policy 8-1.5.1. The
application for development shall include written assurances that any required improvements shall
be in place concurrent with the impacts of the development (i.e., by the time a building permit is
granted by the City).
Policv 8-1.3.2: Limitation on Indebtedness. In funding capital improvements, the City shall limit
its maximum ratio of outstanding general obligation indebtedness to no greater than 1.5 percent of
the property tax base. The City shall limit its general obligation debt to $329 per capita. The City
shall restrict maximum ratio of total debt service to total revenue to a ratio of 50 percent. In
funding capital improvements, the City shall use revenue bonds as opposed to general obligation
bonds when possible and accordingly, the City does not limit the use of revenue bonds as compared
to total debt. Currently the City has no outstanding general obligation bonds.
Policv 8-1.3.3: Capital Improvements Program. The City shall prepare and adopt a five-year
capital improvement program and annual capital budget as part of its budgeting process. Exhibit 3
shows the City's Capital Improvement Projects for water and wastewater from 2006 to 2011. Table
VIII-2 displays the capacity portions of The Seminole County Public School's Five-Year Capital
Improvement Plan.
Policv 8-1.3.4: Funding Existing Transportation System Deficiencies. Road improvements
required to correct existing deficiencies in current levels of service are explained in page 2-12 of the
Comprehensive Plan: Data Inventory and Analysis, No improvements to existing deficiencies on
links of U.S. 17-92 are presently scheduled for funding by FDOT or by Seminole County.
Policv 8-1.3.5: Funding Existing Drainage System Deficiencies. No existing deficiencies in the
drainage system were identified in the analysis of the City of Sanford drainage system, except the
separation of combined sanitary sewer and drainage lines. The latter project is scheduled for
completion by the end of 1991. The project is funded under a grant from the Federal
Environmental Protection Agency.
Policy 8-1.3.6: Funding Existing Public School System Deficiencies. While several individual
schools are over capacity, as a whole the elementary, middle and high school systems are not over
capacity. The Northeast Cluster of Elementary Schools is at 108.9% of its capacity. A new Midway
Elementary School is scheduled to open in August of 2009 to alleviate this situation.

CITY OF SANFORD
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT
Policv 8-1.3.7: Grantsmanship. The City shall continue to pursue available grants such as the
Community Development Block Grant Fund (in coordination with Seminole County: reference
Policy 8-1.1.3); public facility revolving loan programs administered through the Department of
Environmental Regulation; the Land and Water Conservation Fund; and other public or private
grantsmanship programs in order to finance the provision of needed capital improvements.
Objective 8-1.4: Concurrency Management. The City's concurrency management system shall
ensure that facilities and services needed to support development are available concurrent with the
impacts of such development and are provide at or above adopted level of service standards. Prior
to the approval of a building permit or its functional equivalent, the City, which is also the water
supplier, shall determine whether adequate water supplies to serve the new development will be
available no later than the anticipated date of issuance of the City of a certificate of occupancy or its
functional equivalent.
Policv 8-1.4.1. Future Development to Meet LOS Standards. In order to ensure that future
development maintains adopted level of service standards, the City shall issue no development
order or permit for development unless the applicant provides narrative and graphic information
demonstrating to the satisfaction of the City that adopted level of service standards for public
facilities, including roads, water and wastewater services, drainage, solid waste, public schools
and recreation will be maintained and that improvement needs shall be planned consistent with
criteria of Objective 8-1.5 and related policies thereto. Specific criteria for managing
development orders and ensuring provision of concurrency facilities are cited in Objective 8-1.5.
The City's adopted level of service standards are cited in Policy 8-1.5.1. These standards shall be
used as the standard level of service for concurrency management and shall be coordinated with
entities having jurisdictional responsibility for such facilities.
Policv 8-1.4.2 Implementation of Concurrency Management. The Land Development Code
shall further implement the concurrency management system consistent with provisions of
Objective 8-1.4 and 8-1.5. Development review procedures set forth therein shall contain
evaluation criteria to determine whether capacity in public facilities are in place or will be available
according to the schedules set forth in Objective 8-1.5.
At a minimum, the latest point in the application process for the determination of concurrency is
prior to the approval of a development order or permit which contains a specific plan for
development, including the densities and intensities of development.
Policv 8-1.4.3: Resolving Concurrency Issues. In order to implement the above measures, the
City shall require that all developments requiring a development permit (as defined in 0163.3164
F.S.) shall, at the time the subject permit application is filed, submit information which
demonstrates that all urban services needed by the proposed development can and will be provided
concurrent with the new development. In addition, according to Section 163.3180(2)(a), F.S.
which went into effect on July 1, 2005, it requires that the City which is also the water supplier
and other potential water suppliers shall determine whether there will be adequate water supplies
to serve the new development no later than the anticipated date of certificate of occupancy
issuance or its functional equivalent, prior to approval of a building permit. All the developments
are subject to the City's Concurrency Management system. The City is required to ensure the
8-6
CITY OF SANFORD
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT
availability of adequate facilities and services to serve the proposed developments. The City will
keep track of the total of current demands and outstanding commitments, and determine the
availability of adequate water supply prior to the approval of the proposed development.
In order to establish an orderly review process, the City shall refine the land development
regulations by stipulating specific narrative and/or graphic data and information required at the time
a development plan application is filed with the City. As a minimum, the information shall include
the following:
. The specific land use(s) and the proposed density and/or intensity of the land use;
. Estimated trips per day and per peak hour, peak direction generated by the proposed land use(s)
together with anticipated on- and off-site improvements necessitated to accommodate the traffic
impacts generated by the development including, additional R/W, roadway improvements,
additional paved lanes, traffic signalization, proposed methods for controlling access and
egress, and other similar improvements;
. Planned improvements in potable water and/or wastewater systems required to establish and/or
maintain adopted water and wastewater levels of service. System improvements and proposed
funding resources required for implementing any improvements required to establish and/or
maintain adopted potable water and wastewater system level of service standards;
. Conceptual plan for accommodating stormwater run-off and demonstrated evidence that the
proposed drainage improvements shall accommodate stormwater run-off without adversely
impacting natural systems or the City's adopted level of service for storm drainage;
. In cases where residential development is proposed, information shall be submitted describing
plans for accommodating recreational demands generated by the development, including
demonstrated evidence that the City's adopted level of service for recreation shall not be
adversely impacted;
. Projected demand generated by the development on the solid waste disposal system and
assurances that the City's adopted level of service for solid waste disposal shall not be adversely
impacted;
. A School Impact Analysis proiecting the demand generated by the development for permanent
student stations within the public school facilities system based on student generation rates
provided by the school administration and a School Capacity Availability Letter Determination
issued by the School Board.
. Other information which the City determines is necessary to assure that the concurrency
requirement shall be satisfied without adversely impacting existing levels of service or the
City's ability to adequately service anticipated developments which are consistent with adopted
plans and policies ofthe City.
. The City has issued the "Utilities Manual" Detailed standards and specifications for the
design and construction of potable water, wastewater, and reclaimed water facilities that are

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT
to be constructed within, dedicated to, owned by, maintained by, or operated by the City shall
be contained within the "Manual".
. The City will continue to operate the concurrency management system to ensure that
necessary public facilities and services are available at adopted level of service standards
before the development orders and permits are issued.
All such information submitted pursuant to this subsection shall incorporate proposed funding
sources, including any identification of improvements which the applicant anticipates shall be
funded by the City or other public or private entity other than the applicant.
Policv 8-1.4.4. De Minimis Impacts for Transportation. A proposed development may be
deemed to have a de minimis impact of roadways and may not be subject to concurrency
requirements if de minimis impacts are defined within the Land Development Code. For a
development to qualify as a de minimis impact, the Land Development Code must stipulate
conditions compatible with Subsection 163.3180(6), F.S.
Policv 8-14.5. Transportation Concurrency Exemption Area. All new development and
redevelopment occurring within the Downtown/Waterfront Transportation Concurrency
Exception Area, as defined by Objective 2-1.8, is exempt from transportation concurrency.
Policv 8-1.4.6. Assessing Transportation Concurrency. The Concurrency Management
System shall assess transportation impacts for new development or redevelopment according to
the minimum standards listed below. These minimum standards shall be incorporated into the
Land Development Code.
a. Level of service standard shall be based upon peak hour, peak direction trips
b. Roads analyzed shall include all links impacted by more than ten percent (10%) of the project
traffic or receiving five hundred (500) trips per day, whichever is greater.
c. Uniform methodology for analyzing transportation concurrency shall be provided within the
Land Development Code and shall be consistent with methodologies established within the
FDOT LOS Guidelines Manual, Highway Capacity Manual, or other methodology consistent
with transportation professional standards.
d. Traffic generation rates used for concurrency analysis shall be based upon the most recent
published edition of the Trip Generation manual prepared by the Institute of Transportation
Engineers or by an independent study accepted by the City.
Policv 8-1.4.7: Implementine: Public School Facility Concurrency. The City shall applv school
concurrency using CSA boundaries adopted by the School Board. The CSA boundaries established
by the School Board will be based on clustered attendance zones for each school type (elementary,
middle and high school) based on adiacency and will be re-evaluated by the School Board, as
needed. At the determination of the School Board, CSA maps may be modified from time to
time, to maximize utilization of school capacity. The School Board shall transmit the proposed
change request with supporting data and analysis to the City and the other local jurisdictions.
The City, upon receipt of supporting data and analysis for the proposed modification shall review
and submit comments to the School Board within forty-five (45) days.

CITY OF SANFORD
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT
The School Board's annual update of its Capital Improvements Schedule will include review of
attendance zone changes and, if necessary, modifications to the CSA maps to the greatest extent
possible to provide maximum utilization.
General Provisions. The County, the Cities and the School Board shall ensure that the Level of
Service Standard established for each school type is maintained.
A. No site plan, final subdivision, or functional equivalent for new residential development may be
approved by the County or Cities, unless the residential development is exempt from these
requirements as provided below or until a School Capacity Availability Letter Determination
(SCALD) has been issued by the School Board to the local government indicating that adequate
school facilities exist.
B. The City may condition the approval of the residential development to ensure that necessary
school facilities are in place. This shall not limit the authority of a local government to deny a
site plan, final subdivision or its functional equivalent, pursuant to its home rule regulatory
powers.
C. The following residential uses shall be considered exempt from the requirements of school
concurrency:
1. All residential lots of record on January 1,2008.
2. Any new residential development that has a site plan approval, final subdivision or the
functional equivalent for a site specific development approval prior to the commencement
date of the School Concurrency Program.
3. Any amendment to any previously approved residential development, which does not
increase the number of dwelling units or change the type of dwelling units (single-family,
multi-family, etc.).
4. Any age restricted community with no permanent residents under the age of eighteen (18).
An age restricted community shall be subject to a restrictive covenant on all residential units
limiting the age of permanent residents to 18 years and older.
D. Upon request by a developer submitting a land development application with a residential
component, the School Board shall issue a determination as to whether or not a development,
lot or unit is exempt from the requirements of school concurrency and submit a copy of the
determination to the local government within 10 days.
School Concurrency Application Review
A. Any developer submitting a development permit application (such as site plan or final
subdivision) with a residential component that is not exempt under Section 12.1(C) of this
Agreement is subject to school concurrency and shall prepare and submit a School Impact
Analysis (SIA) to the School Board for review.
B. The SIA shall indicate the location of the development, the number of dwelling units by unit
type (single-family detached, single family attached, multi-family, apartments), a phasing
8-9
CITY OF SANFORD
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT
schedule (if applicable), and age restnctlOns for occupancy (if any). The School Board
concurrency test shall follow the following steps:
1. Test Submittal. The developer shall submit a SIA to the School Board with a copy to the
local government with jurisdiction over the proposed development. The completed SIA
must be submitted a minimum of five working days but not more than 30 days prior to
Development Application submittal to the local government. The School Board shall
perform a sufficiency review on the SIA application. An incomplete SIA application will
be returned to the Owner/Developer without processing. The School Board will have 20
working days to determine sufficiency and complete the Test Review. The School Board
may charge the applicant a non-refundable application fee payable to the School Board to
meet the cost of review in accordance with Florida Statutes.
2. Test Review. Each SIA application will be reviewed in the order in which it is received by
the School Board.
3. Passing the Test. If the available capacity of public schools for each type within the
CSA [or contiguous CSAs as provided for in 12.3(C) below] containing the proposed
project is equal to or greater than the proposed project's needed capacity, the concurrency
test is passed. The School Board will issue a School Capacity Availability Letter of
Determination (SCALD) identifying the school capacity available to serve the proposed
project and that said capacity has been encumbered for the proposed project for a period
of one year. A capacity encumbrance fee will be established during the regulatory phase
of this process.
4. Failing the Test. If the available capacity of public schools for any type within the CSA (or
contiguous CSAs as provided for in 12.3(C) below) containing the proposed project is less
than the proposed project's needed capacity, the concurrency test is failed. The School
Board will issue a School Capacity Availability Letter of Determination (SCALD) and
inform the developer. If capacity is not available the School Board will advise the developer
of the following options:
a. Accept a 30 day encumbrance of available school capacity, and within the same 30 day
period, amend the Development Application to balance it with the available capacity; or
b. Accept a 60 day encumbrance of available school capacity, and within the same 60 day
period, negotiate with the School Board and the local government on a Proportionate
Share Mitigation plan as outlined in Section 12.7 below; or
c. Appeal the results of the failed test pursuant to the provisions in Section 12.8 below; or
d. Withdraw the SIA application.
5. Test Abandonment. If no option under Section 12.2(B)(4) above is exercised by the
developer within 45 days, then the application shall deemed abandoned.
Methodology. The methodology for performing the concurrency test shall follow the steps outlined
below:
A. To determine a proposed development's projected students, the proposed development's
8-10
CITY OF SANFORD
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT
projected number and type of residential units shall be converted into projected students for all
schools of each type within the specific CSA using the adopted Student Generation Multiplier,
as established in the most current adopted Seminole County BCC Public School Impact Fee
Ordinance.
B. New school capacity within a CSA which is in place or under actual construction in the first
three years of the School Board's Capital Improvement Plan will be added to the capacity
shown in the CSA, and is counted as available capacity for the residential development under
reVIew.
C. If the projected student growth from a residential development causes the adopted LOS to be
exceeded in the CSA, an adjacent CSA which is contiguous with and touches the boundary of,
the concurrency service area within which the proposed development is located shall be
evaluated for available capacity. An adjacency evaluation review shall be conducted as follows:
1. In conducting the adjacency review, the School Board shall first use the adjacent CSA with
the most available capacity to evaluate projected enrollment impact and, if necessary, shall
continue to the next adjacent CSA with the next most available capacity.
2. Consistent with Rule 6A-3.0171, F.A.C., at no time shall the shift of impact to an adjacent
CSA result in a total morning or afternoon transportation time of either elementary or
secondary students to exceed fifty (50) minutes or one (1) hour, respectively. The
transportation time shall be determined by the School Board transportation routing system
and measured from the school the impact is to be assigned, to the center of the subject
parcel/plat in the amendment application, along the most direct improved pubic roadway
free from major hazards.
Reserved Capacity. School capacity will be reserved when there is a final disposition of the
Development Application by the local government. If the local government approves the
Development Application by means of a Development approval, or its equivalent, the School Board
shall move the school capacity from encumbered status to reserved status for the proposed project.
This reserved capacity is held for a period of one year from the date of the Development approval,
or the issuance of a building permit, whichever occurs first. If the building permit once issued
expires under the development regulations of the local government, the project will lose its reserved
capacity. When the local government issues a Development approval for a residential project it
shall notify the School Board within 10 working days.
School Concurrency Approval. Issuance of a SCALD by the School Board identifying that
adequate capacity exists indicates only that school facilities are currently available, and capacity
will not be reserved until the local government issues development approval.
A. A local government shall not issue a development approval for a residential development until
receiving confirmation of available school capacity in the form of a SCALD from the School
Board. The Development approval shall include a reference to the findings of the SCALD
indicating that the project meets school concurrency. Once the local government has issued a
Development approval, school concurrency for the residential development shall be valid for
one year from the date of issuance of the Development approval. Expiration, extension or

modification of a Development approval for a residential development shall require a new
review for adequate school capacity to be performed by the School Board.
B. Local governments shall notify the School Board within ten (10) working days of any official
change in the validity (status) of a Development approval for a residential development.
C. The Local Government shall not issue a building permit or its functional equivalent for a non-
exempt residential development until receiving confirmation of available school capacity from
the School Board in the form of a SCALD. Once the local government has issued a final
development approval, school concurrency for the residential development shall be valid for the
life of the final development approval.
Development Review Table. The School Board shall create and maintain a Development Review
Table (DRT) for each CSA, and will use the DRT to compare the projected students from proposed
residential developments to the CSAs available capacity programmed within the first three years of
the current five-year capital planning period.
A. Student enrollment projections shall be based on the most recently adopted School Board
Capital Facilities Work Program, and the DRT shall be updated to reflect these projections.
Available capacity shall be derived using the following formula:
Available Capacity = School Capacity! - (Enrollment2 + Approved3)
Where:
ISchool Capacity = Permanent School Capacity as programmed in the first three (3) years of the
School Board's Five-Year CIP.
2Enrollment = Student enrollment as counted at the Fall FTE.
3 Approved = Students generated from approved residential developments after the
implementation of school concurrency.
B. Using the Fall FTE, the vested number of students on the DRT will be reduced by the number
of students represented by the residential units that received certificates of occupancy within the
previous twelve (12) month period.
Policv 8-1.4.8: Proportionate Share Mitigation Options for Public School Concurrency. In
the event there is no available school capacity to support a development, the School Board shall
entertain proportionate share mitigation options and, if accepted, shall enter into an enforceable
and binding agreement with the developer to mitigate the impact from the development through
the creation of additional school capacity.
A. When the anticipated student impacts from a proposed development cause the adopted LOS
to be exceeded, the developer's proportionate share will be based on the number of additional
student stations necessary to achieve the established LOS. The amount to be paid will be
calculated by the cost per student station for elementary, middle and high school as
determined and published by the State of Florida.
B. The methodology used to calculate a developer's proportionate share mitigation shall be as
follows:
8-12
CITY OF SANFORD
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT
Proportionate Share = (lDevelopment students - Available Capacity) x 2Total Cost per student station
Where:
IDevelopment students = those students from the development that are assigned to a CSA and
have triggered a deficiency of the available capacity.
2Total Cost = the cost per student station as determined and published by the State of Florida.
C. The applicant shall be allowed to enter a 90 day negotiation period with the School Board in
an effort to mitigate the impact from the development through the creation of additional
capacity. Upon identification and acceptance of a mitigation option deemed financially
feasible by the School Board, the developer shall enter into a binding and enforceable
development agreement with the School Board.
1. A mitigation contribution provided by a developer to offset the impact of a residential
development must be directed by the School Board toward a school capacity project
identified in the School Board's Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan. Capacity
enhancing projects identified within the first three (3) years of the Five-Year Capital
Improvement Plan shall be considered as committed in accordance with Section 9.5 of
this Agreement.
2. If capacity projects are planned in years four (4) or five (5) of the School Board's Five-
Year Capital Improvement Plan within the same CSA as the proposed residential
development, the developer may pay his proportionate share to mitigate the proposed
development in accordance with the formula provided in Section 12.7(B) of this
Agreement.
3. If a capacity project does not exist in the Capital Improvement Plan, the School Board
will add a capacity project to satisfy the impacts from a proposed residential
development, if it is funded through the developer's proportionate share mitigation
contributions. Mitigation options may include, but are not limited to:
a. Contribution of land or payment for land acquisition suitable for and in conjunction
with, the provision of additional school capacity; or
b. Mitigation banking based on the construction of a educational facility in exchange for
the right to sell capacity credits; or
c. Provide modular or permanent student stations acceptable for use as an educational
facilities; or
d. Provide additional student stations through the remodeling of existing buildings
acceptable for use as an educational facility; or
e. Construction or expansion of permanent student stations at the impacted school
within the CSA; or
f. Construction of a educational facility in advance of the time set forth in the School
Board's Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan.
D. For mitigation measures (a) thru (f) above, the estimated cost to construct the mitigating
capacity will reflect the estimated future construction costs at the time of the anticipated
construction. Improvements contributed by the developer shall receive school impact fee
credit.
8-13
CITY OF SANFORD
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT
E. Developer shall receive an impact fee credit for the proportionate share mitigation. Credits
will be given for that portion of the impact fees that would have been used to fund the
improvements on which the proportionate fair share contribution was calculated. The portion
of impact fees available for the credit will be based on the historic distribution of impact fee
funds to the school type (elementary, middle, high) in the appropriate CSA. Impact fee
credits shall be calculated at the same time as the applicant's proportionate share obligation is
calculated. Any school impact fee credit based on proportionate fair share contributions for a
proposed development cannot be transferred to any other parcel or parcels of real property
within the CSA.
F. A proportionate share mitigation contribution shall not be subsequently amended or refunded
after final site plan or plat approval to reflect a reduction in planned or constructed residential
density.
G. Impact fees shall be credited against the proportionate share mitigation total.
H. Any proportionate share mitigation must be directed by the School Board toward a school
capacity improvement identified in the School Board's Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan.
I. Upon conclusion of the negotiation period, a second Determination Letter shall be issued. If
mitigation is agreed to, the School Board shall issue a new Determination Letter approving
the development subject to those mitigation measures agreed to by the local government,
developer and the School Board. Prior to, site plan approval, final subdivision approval or the
functional equivalent, the mitigation measures shall be memorialized in an enforceable and
binding agreement with the local government, the School Board and the Developer that
specifically details mitigation provisions to be paid for by the developer and the relevant
terms and conditions. If mitigation is not agreed to, the Determination Letter shall detail why
any mitigation proposals were rejected and why the development is not in compliance with
school concurrency requirements. A SCALD indicating either that adequate capacity is
available, or that there is not a negotiated proportionate share mitigation settlement following
the ninety (90) day negotiation period as described in Section 12.7(C) of this Agreement,
constitutes final agency action by the School Board for purposes of Chapter 120, F.S.
Appeal Process. A person substantially affected by a School Board's adequate capacity
determination made as a part of the School Concurrency Process may appeal such determination
through the process provided in Chapter 120, F.S.
Objective 8-1.5: Requiring Development Orders And Permits Compliant With Concurrency
Management, LOS Standards, And Capital Improvement Schedule. Decisions regarding the
issuance of development orders, building permits, certificates of occupancy, and other applicable
permits shall be consistent with goals, objectives, and policies of the respective Comprehensive
Plan elements, the City's adopted land development regulations, and requirements for adequate
public facilities meeting stated levels of service criteria.
Upon adoption of the Comprehensive Plan the City shall ensure that land use decisions and fiscal
decisions are coordinated with the adopted schedule of capital improvements cited in Policy 8-2.1
to maintain adopted level of service standards and meet existing and future needs. Prior to
achieving plan approval and prior to receiving a building permit, any applicant for development
shall be required to ensure that public facilities shall be available concurrent with the impacts of

designated use of its classification as established in Chapter 17-3, F.A.C. Where a conflict
exists between two or more LOS standards, the more restrictive shall be enforced.
SOLID WASTE
In 1988, the State Legislature passed the Solid Waste Management Act which contain
provisions to reduce the type and quantity of materials placed in sanitary landfills and
establishes goals and requirements to be met for local governments by 1995. The act requires
that a minimum of 30% of Seminole County's waste stream be diverted from disposal in the
Osceola Class I landfill by 1995. The City will help reach this goal by its recently implemented
recycling program. The City has reflected the support to reduce its solid waste disposal into the
Osceola landfill by reducing the LOS disposal level in 1996 by 30%.
Due to the biodegradable quality of yard trash disposed in the Art Land Landfill, the LOS for
the Art Land Landfill will be set and maintained throughout the planning years based on past
demand trends.

determine whether it is adhering to the adopted level of service standards and its schedule of
capital improvements and that the local government has a demonstrated capability of
monitoring the availability of public facilities and services.
J. A clear designation within the adopted comprehensive plan of those areas within which
facilities and services will be provided by the local government with public funds in accordance
with the five-year capital improvements schedule.
In determining the availability of services or facilities, a developer may propose and the City of
Sanford may approve developments in stages or phases so that facilities and services needed for
each phase will be available in accordance with the standards required by Rules 9J-5.0055(2)(a),
(2)(b) and (2)(c), FAC [Herein stipulated in sub-paragraph (a-c)].
As stipulated in Objective 8-1.4, at a minimum the latest point in the application process for the
determination of concurrency is prior to the approval of an application for a development order or
permit which contains a specific plan for development, including the densities and intensities of
development.
If any change in the Comprehensive Plan future land use map is proposed, no such amendment
shall be approved until the impacts of proposed new land use activities on existing infrastructure as
well as infrastructure included in the City's adopted capital improvement program have been
identified and evaluated. The plan amendment shall be approved only if the projected impacts have
been resolved through amendments to the capital improvements program or through an enforceable
development agreement which ensures that any public facility needs generated by the proposed
change in land use shall be met concurrent with the impacts of development and that adopted level
of service criteria shall be met.
Policv 8-1.5.5: Adequate Facilities. The City shall issue no development order for new
development which would result in an increase in demand on deficient facilities prior to completion
8-21
CITY OF SANFORD

of improvements needed to bring the respective facility up to standard. The City shall include an
adequate facilities requirement as part of the updated land development regulations.
The provisions governing adequate facilities shall mandate that future applications for development
shall include a written evaluation of the impact of the anticipated development on the levels of
services for the water and wastewater systems, solid waste system, drainage, recreation, public
school facilities and the traffic circulation system. Prior to issuing a building permit the City shall
render a finding that the applicant has provided written assurance that the proposed development
shall be served with each of the above cited facilities with a level of service at least equal to the
City's adopted level of service standards cited in Policy 8-1.5.1. The application for development
shall include written assurances that any required improvements shall be in place concurrent with
the impacts of the development (i.e., by the time a certificate of occupancy is granted by the City).
Policv 8-1.5.6: Evaluation Criteria for Plan Amendments. Proposed Plan amendments and
requests for new development or redevelopment shall be evaluated according to the following
guidelines:
a. Does the proposed action contribute to any condition of public hazard;
b. Does the proposed action exacerbate any existing condition of public facility capacity
deficits, as described in the Transportation Circulation, Public Facilities, and/or Recreation
and Open Space Elements;
c. Does the proposed action generate public facility demands that may be accommodated by
capacity increases planned in the Five- Year Schedule of Improvements;
d. Does the proposed action conform with the future land uses designated on the Future Land
Use Map within the Future Land Use Element;
e. Does the proposed action comply with and accommodate public facility demands based on
the adopted level of service standards contained herein;
f. If the proposed action requires that any public facilities be provided by the City, the
applicant shall demonstrate that funds shall be available; acceptable to the City; and no
project requiring a City expenditure for a capital improvement shall be approved by the City
unless the City Commission approves the funding for the subject property prior to the
project approval;
g. Does the proposed action impact facility plans of any State agencies or facility plans of the
St. Johns River Water Management District.

CHAPTER 10
PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES ELEMENT
A. INTRODUCTION
The Public Schools Facility Element includes objectives and policies to support the provision of
public school facilities in a timely manner. However, it is not intended to be construed to
interfere with the School Board's constitutional and statutory obligation and sovereignty to
provide a uniform system of free public schools on a countywide basis or to require the School
Board to confer with, or obtain the consent of, the City, as to whether that obligation has been
satisfied.
Additionally, this Element is not intended to be construed to impose any duty or obligation on
the City for the School Board's constitutional or statutory obligations. The City does not have
the authority to directly provide school facilities, but is required by State Law to work with the
Seminole County School Board to address the coordination of public school facility planning
with land use planning and development approvals. The City continues to be responsible for
approving or denying comprehensive plan amendments and development approvals within its
own jurisdiction, and nothing herein represents or authorizes a transfer of any of this authority to
the School Board.
Legislation enacted by the 2005 Florida Legislature mandated a comprehensive approach to
school planning by revising laws that govern both school districts and local government
planning. A coordinated effort was undertaken by the local jurisdictions of Seminole County
and the Seminole County School Board. Preparation of a new 2007 lnterlocal Agreement for
Public School Facility Planning and School Concurrency including procedures for coordinating
land use planning, development approvals and school planning was the first step in this process
and was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners, City Commissions, and the Seminole
County School Board.
The 2005 Legislation also included adoption of a Public School Facilities Element consistent
with those adopted by the other local governments within the County and consistent with the
2007 lnterlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and School Concurrency,
sections 163.3177(12) and 163.3180 F.S. and Rule 9J-5.025, F.A.C. and which describes a
proportionate-share mitigation methodology. Additional amendments to the City's
Comprehensive Plan required by the 2005 legislation include:
· Adoption of the Level of Service standards applicable countywide that establish
maximum permitted school utilization rates relative to capacity into the Capital
Improvements Element;
· Adoption of the financially feasible Public School Capital Facilities Program addressing
school capacity improvements into the Capital Improvements Element that is adopted as
part of the Seminole County School Board's overall Capital Improvements Program;
· Amendments to revise objectives and policies that address the City's process of
coordination with the School Board in the Intergovernmental Coordination Element.

C. ISSUES AND CONCERNS
1. Identifying Sites for Future School Facilities. The 2007 lnterlocal Agreement for Public
School Facility Planning and School Concurrency provides a process for identifying future
school sites. The process includes, at a minimum, semi-annual meetings of the Planning
Technical Advisory Committee (PT AC) that can be used to coordinate land use and school
facility planning. The next step in that process is a committee created by the 2007 lnterlocal
10-3
CITY OF SANFORD
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES ELEMENT
Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and School Concurrency, the Public Schools
Facilities Planning Committee (PSFPC). The PSFPC has several responsibilities, including
review of PT AC findings and submittal of recommendations to the School Board. In order to
ensure that the redevelopment and revitalization of older portions of unincorporated Seminole
County can continue, the issue of sites will continually need to be addressed as part of the
ongoing cooperative planning effort specified by the 2007 lnterlocal Agreement for Public
School Facility Planning and School Concurrency.
2. Population and Student Projections. In accordance with the 2007 lnterlocal Agreement for
Public School Facility Planning and School Concurrency, Sanford and the School Board will
share population projections and projections of student enrollment for use in their planning
efforts. The 2007 lnterlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and School
Concurrency specifies that the parties will use student enrollment projections provided by the
School Board. However, the source of student enrollment projections is based on the Capital
Outlay Full Time Equivalent (COFTE) cohort projections issued by the Department of Education
in July of each year. These COFTE projections are related to past enrollment trends and do not
consider such factors as reduced land availability for future growth and development. As the City
of Sanford grows closer to reaching build-out, these projections will become less reliable.
3. Proportionate Share Mitigation Efforts and Alternative Mechanisms for Ensuring
School Capacity. The 2007 lnterlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and
School Concurrency outlined the process by which the School Board may entertain proportionate
share mitigation options. Proportionate share mitigation allows a developer to pay that portion of
the cost of providing capacity in a school facility that is necessary to serve that particular
development or redevelopment project. The methodology for calculating a developer's
proportionate share as specified in the 2007 lnterlocal Agreement for Public School Facility
Planning and School Concurrency is included in this Element and will be added to the City's
Land Development Regulations as part of the Concurrency Management System. Mitigation
options offer a variety of alternatives, including construction of a charter school by the
developer. If a mitigation proposal fails, the 2007 lnterlocal Agreement for Public School
Facility Planning and School Concurrency offers an appeal process specified by Chapter 120,
Florida Statutes (F.S.) as an alternative.
Another allowable alternative mechanism for mitigation impacts on schools is the establishment
of an Educational Facilities Benefit District as allowed by Section 1013.355, F.S. This option
permits school districts and local governments to enter into separate Interlocal Agreements to
arrange for financing a school to allow redevelopment, revitalization or other development
efforts, when property owners involved agree to this special assessment. Osceola County adopted
an ordinance creating such a District in 2003. Should redevelopment and revitalization efforts in
the City be unable to proceed, even with proportionate share mitigation, further examination of
the use of an Educational Facilities Benefit District may be needed.

D. GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
GOALI0-l: PROVIDE QUALITY EDUCATION. AS A BASIC TENET OF
COMMUNITY LIFE, IT IS THE GOAL OF THE CITY OF SANFORD TO
CONTRIBUTE TO AND MAINTAIN A HIGH QUALITY PUBLIC
SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT.
Objective 10- 1.1: Level of Service Standards and Service Boundaries. The City of
Sanford shall coordinate with the Seminole County School Board in the School Board's efforts
to correct existing deficiencies and address future needs through implementation of adopted level
of service standards and appropriate public school facility service area boundaries.
The level of service standard is a countywide standard specified in the 2007 lnterlocal
Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and School Concurrency, wherein the following
terms are used:
Permanent Florida Inventory of School Houses (FISH): meaning the permanent facilities within
the inventory of land, buildings and rooms in public educational facilities used by the Florida
Department of Education, Office of Educational Facilities; and
Concurrency Service Area (CSA): A geographic unit promulgated by the School Board and
adopted by local governments within which the level of service is measured when an application
for residential development is reviewed for school concurrency purposes. The CSA coincides
with groupings of school attendance zones within each school type based on adjacency.
Level of Service (LOS) standard: A standard established to measure utilization of capacity
within a Concurrency Service Area (CSA). Current LOS within a CSA is determined by dividing
the full-time equivalent student count (FTE) for the Fall Semester at the same type of schools by
the permanent FISH capacity of the same type of schools. Projected or future LOS is determined
by the dividing the projected enrolled students at the same type of schools within a CSA by the
planned permanent FISH capacity of the same type of schools.
Policy 10- 1.1.1 Adoption of Level of Service Standards (LOS). To ensure that the capacity of
schools is sufficient to support student growth, the City along with other cities within Seminole
County, the City, and the School Board agree that the desired LOS standard shall be 100% of the
aggregate permanent FISH capacity for each school type within each Concurrency Service Area
(CSA).
To financially achieve the desired LOS standard, the following tiered LOS standard IS
established as follows:
School Type 2008 - 2012 Beginning 2013
Elementary & Middle CSA 100% of Permanent 100% of Permanent FISH
FISH Capacity Capacity
High School CSA 110% of Permanent 100% of Permanent FISH
FISH Capacity Capacity
10-5
CITY OF SANFORD
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES ELEMENT
Policy 10-1.1.2 Use of Level of Service (LOS) Standards. The City shall use its Concurrency
Management System to coordinate with the School Board and other local jurisdictions to ensure
that the LOS standards established for each school type is maintained.
Policy 10-1.1.3 Use of Concurrency Service Area (CSA) Boundaries. The City shall apply
school concurrency using CSA boundaries adopted by the School Board. The CSAs are
described geographically in Maps 1-3 of the support documents of the Comprehensive Plan and
may be updated from time to time by the School Board.
Policy 10-1.1.4 CSAsfor Each Type of School. The CSA boundaries established by the School
Board will be based on clustered attendance zones for each school type (elementary, middle and
high school) based on adjacency and will be re-evaluated by the School Board, as needed.
Policy 10-1.1.5 CSA Boundary Changes. As future school attendance zone changes are required
for schools programmed in the Seminole School Board Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan, the
CSAs shall be modified to the greatest extent possible to provide maximum utilization of school
capacity taking into account transportation costs, and court-approved desegregation plans, as
well as other factors.
The following process shall be utilized for modifying CSA maps:
1. Changes in school attendance boundaries shall be governed by School Board Policy 5.30,
titled "Student Assignment" and Section 120.54 F.S. and applicable uniform rules for
administrative proceedings.
2. At such time as the School Board determines that a school(s) attendance boundary is
appropriate considering the above standards, the School Board shall transmit the revised
attendance zones or CSAs and data and analysis to support the changes to the Cities, to the
County, and to the PSFPC.
3. The County, Cities, and PSFPC shall review the proposed amendment within the times
prescribed by Section 120.54 F.S.
4. The change to a Concurrency Service Area boundary shall conform to revised attendance
boundaries and become effective upon final adoption.
5. Charter schools and magnet schools will not have their own CSA. Charter and magnet schools
are open to all students residing within the district and students are generally accepted
through application approval. These special public schools vary in size, and may target a
specific type of student and can limit the age groups or grade levels.
6. Any Party to the 2007 lnterlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and School
Concurrency as Amended January 2008 may propose a change to the CSA boundaries. Prior
to adopting any change, the School Board will verify that as a result of the change:
10-6
CITY OF SANFORD
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES ELEMENT
· The adopted level of service standards will be achieved and maintained for each year of
the five-year planning period; and
· The utilization of school capacity will be maximized to the greatest extent possible,
taking into account transportation costs, and other relevant factors.
7. The School Board shall transmit the proposed change request with supporting data and
analysis to the City and the other local jurisdictions. The City, upon receipt of supporting data
and analysis for the proposed modification shall review and submit comments to the School
Board within forty-five (45) days.
Policy 10- 1.1.6 Coordination of School Board Capital Improvements Schedule and Potential
CSA Boundary Changes. As identified in the 2007 lnterlocal Agreement for Public School
Facility Planning and School Concurrency, the School Board's annual update of its Capital
Improvements Schedule will include review of service area boundaries and if necessary,
modifications to the CSA maps to the greatest extent possible to provide maximum utilization.
Objective 10- 1.2: Development Review Coordination to Achieve Concurrency. The City of
Sanford will coordinate with the Seminole County School Board in the City's development
review efforts to achieve concurrency in all public school facilities.
Policy 10- 1.2.1 Development Review Process. The City shall withhold or condition the
approval of any site plan, final subdivision, or functional equivalent for new residential units not
exempted, until a School Capacity Availability Letter Determination (SCALD) has been issued
by the School Board to the City indicating that adequate school facilities exist or until a
mitigation agreement has been reached, pursuant to the availability standard specified in section
163 .3180( 13)( e), Florida Statutes.
Policy 10-1.2.2 Adoption of School Concurrency Provisions into the City's Land
Development Regulations. By January 1, 2008, the City shall commence implementation of
school concurrency and by .July 1, 2008, the City shall adopt school concurrency provisions into
its land development regulations for the review of development approvals, consistent with the
requirements of the 2007 lnterlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and School
Concurrency as amended.
Objective 10-1.3: Coordination of Existing and Future School Facility Planning with the
Future Land Use Element and Development Approval Process. The School Board shall
coordinate future siting of schools and capacity needs with development approvals and changes
to the City's Future Land Use Plan Map (FLUM).
Maps 10-1 through 10-7 are adopted as a part of this element and depict existing schools and
ancillary sites, future school conditions and improvements and vacant lands.
Policy 10-1.3.1 Coordination of Comprehensive Plan Amendments and Facility Planning.
The City will annually coordinate the review of Comprehensive Plan elements, as well as the
review of school enrollment projections, with the school board, the County and adjacent
10-7
CITY OF SANFORD

municipalities. The City will also consider the availability and future provision of school facility
capacity, the provision of school sites and facilities within neighborhoods, the compatibility of
land uses adjacent to existing schools and reserved school sites, the co-location of parks,
recreation and neighborhood facilities with school sites and the linkage of schools, parks,
libraries and other public facilities with bikeways, trails, and sidewalks for safe access during the
review of proposed comprehensive plan land use map amendments.
Policy 10-1.3.2: Site Sizes and Co-location in the City. The City will follow the site selection
process identified in the 2007 lnterlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and
School Concurrency, as amended.. In addition, the City will work with the School District to
identify sites for future educational facilities that meet the minimum standards of the School
Board where possible and which are consistent with the provisions of the Sanford
Comprehensive Plan. When the size of available sites does not meet the minimum School Board

OBJECTIVE 10- 1.4: Concurrency. The City of Sanford shall require that public school
facility capacity is available concurrent with the impacts of new residential development, as
required by Section 163.3180(13)(E), Florida Statutes (F.S.)
Policy 10- 1.4.1: Timing of Concurrency Review. The City shall require that all new residential
development be reviewed for school concurrency prior to development approval as defined in the
2007 lnterlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and School Concurrency.
Policy 10-1.4.2 Results of Concurrency Review. In compliance with the availability
standards of Section 163.3180(13)(e), F.S., the City shall not deny development approval due to
failure to achieve the adopted LOS for public school facilities when the following occurs:
. Adequate school facilities are planned and will be in place or under construction within
three (3) years of the development approval.
. The developer executes a legally binding commitment to provide mitigation
proportionate to the demand for public school facilities consistent with the methodology
in the 2007 lnterlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and School
Concurrency.
Policy 10-1.4.3 Residential Uses Exemptfrom the Requirements of School Concurrency. The
following residential uses shall be exempt from the requirements of school concurrency:
. All single family lots of record at the time the school concurrency implementing
ordinance became effective.
. Any new residential development that has a preliminary plat or site plan approval or the
functional equivalent for a site specific development order prior to the commencement
date of the School Concurrency Program on January 1,2008.
. Any amendment to a previously approved residential development which does not
increase the number of dwelling units or change the type of dwelling units.
. Any age restricted community with no permanent residents under the age of 18 (a
restrictive covenant limiting the age of residents to 18 and older shall be required.)
Policy 10-1.4.4 Use of Revenues Received Through Proportionate Share Mitigation. Any
revenues received for proportionate share mitigation are to be directed by the School Board
toward a school capacity improvement identified in the School Board's Five-Year Capital
Improvement Plan.
Policy 10-1.4.5 Proportionate Share Mitigation. In the event there is not available school
capacity to support a development, the School Board may entertain proportionate share
mitigation options and, if accepted, shall enter into an enforceable and binding agreement with
the developer to mitigate the impact from the development through the creation of additional
school capacity.
The proportionate Share Mitigation methodology will be contained within the City's Land
Development Regulations (LDRs) after July 1, 2008. The methodology is also included in the
2007 Interlocal Agreement for Public School facility Planning and School Concurrency, as
amended in January 2008.

CITY OF SANFORD
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES ELEMENT
A. When the anticipated student impacts from a proposed development cause the adopted
LOS to be exceeded, the developer's proportionate share will be based on the number of
additional student stations necessary to achieve the established LOS. The amount to be
paid will be calculated by the cost per student station for elementary, middle and high
school as determined and published by the State of Florida.
B. The methodology used to calculate a developer's proportionate share mitigation shall be
as follows:
Proportionate Share = (lDevelopment students - Available Capacity) x 2Total Cost per student station
Where:
IDevelopment students = those students from the development that are assigned to a CSA
and have triggered a deficiency of the available capacity.
2Total Cost = the cost per student station as determined and published by the State of
Florida.
C. The applicant shall be allowed to enter a 90-day negotiation period with the School Board
in an effort to mitigate the impact from the development through the creation of
additional capacity. Upon identification and acceptance of a mitigation option deemed
financially feasible by the School Board, the developer shall enter into a binding and
enforceable development agreement with the School Board.
1. A mitigation contribution provided by a developer to offset the impact of a
residential development must be directed by the School Board toward a school
capacity project identified in the School Board's Five-Year Capital Improvement
Plan. Capacity enhancing projects identified within the first three (3) years of the
Five- Year Capital Improvement Plan shall be considered as committed in
accordance with Section 9.5 of the 2007 lnterlocal Agreement for Public School
Facility Planning and School Concurrency.
2. If capacity projects are planned in years four (4) or five (5) of the School Board's
Five- Year Capital Improvement Plan within the same CSA as the proposed
residential development, the developer may pay his proportionate share to
mitigate the proposed development in accordance with the formula provided in
Section 12.7 (B) of the 2007 lnterlocal Agreement for Public School Facility
Planning and School Concurrency.
3. If a capacity project does not exist in the Capital Improvement Plan, the School
Board will add a capacity project to satisfy the impacts from a proposed
residential development, if it is funded through the developer's proportionate
share mitigation contributions. Mitigation options may include, but are not
limited to:
a. Contribution of land or payment for land acquisition suitable for and in
conjunction with, the provision of additional school capacity; or
b. Mitigation banking based on the construction of a educational facility in
exchange for the right to sell capacity credits; or
10-10
CITY OF SANFORD

PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES ELEMENT
c. Provide modular or permanent student stations acceptable for use as an
educational facilities; or
d. Provide additional student stations through the remodeling of existing
buildings acceptable for use as an educational facility; or
e. Construction or expansion of permanent student stations at the impacted
school within the CSA; or
f. Construction of a educational facility in advance of the time set forth in
the School Board's Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan.
D. For mitigation measures (a) thru (f) above, the estimated cost to construct the mitigating
capacity will reflect the estimated future construction costs at the time of the anticipated
construction. Improvements contributed by the developer shall receive school impact fee
credit.
E. Developer shall receive an impact fee credit for the proportionate share mitigation.
Credits will be given for that portion of the impact fees that would have been used to
fund the improvements on which the proportionate fair share contribution was
calculated. The portion of impact fees available for the credit will be based on the
historic distribution of impact fee funds to the school type (elementary, middle, high) in
the appropriate CSA. Impact fee credits shall be calculated at the same time as the
applicant's proportionate share obligation is calculated. Any school impact fee credit
based on proportionate fair share contributions for a proposed development cannot be
transferred to any other parcel or parcels of real property within the CSA.
F. A proportionate share mitigation contribution shall not be subsequently amended or
refunded after final site plan or plat approval to reflect a reduction in planned or
constructed residential density.
G. Impact fees shall be credited against the proportionate share mitigation total.
H. Any proportionate share mitigation must be directed by the School Board toward a school
capacity improvement identified in the School Board's Five-Year Capital Improvement
Plan.
I. Upon conclusion of the negotiation period, a second Determination Letter shall be issued.
If mitigation is agreed to, the School Board shall issue a new Determination Letter
approving the development subject to those mitigation measures agreed to by the local
government, developer and the School Board. Prior to, site plan approval, final
subdivision approval or the functional equivalent, the mitigation measures shall be
memorialized in an enforceable and binding agreement with the local government, the
School Board and the Developer that specifically details mitigation provisions to be paid
for by the developer and the relevant terms and conditions. If mitigation is not agreed to,
the Determination Letter shall detail why any mitigation proposals were rejected and why
the development is not in compliance with school concurrency requirements. A SCALD
indicating either that adequate capacity is available, or that there is not a negotiated
proportionate share mitigation settlement following the ninety (90) day negotiation period
as described in Section 12.7(B) of the 2007 lnterlocal Agreement for Public School

capacity determination made as a part of the School Concurrency Process may appeal such
determination through the process provided in Chapter 120, F.S.
Policy 10-1.4.7 CSA Adjacency Evaluation. If the projected student growth from a residential
development causes the adopted LOS to be exceeded in the CSA, an adjacent CSA which is
contiguous with and touches the boundary of the concurrency service area within which the
proposed development is located shall be evaluated for available capacity. An adjacency
evaluation review shall be conducted as follows:
1. In conducting the adjacency review, the School Board shall first use the adjacent CSA with
the most available capacity to evaluate projected enrollment impact and, if necessary, shall
continue to the next adjacent CSA with the next most available capacity in order to ensure
maximum utilization of school capacity to the greatest extent possible.
2. Consistent with Rule 6A-3.0171, F. A. C., at no time shall the sift of impact to an adjacent
CSA result in a total morning or afternoon transportation time of either elementary or
secondary students to exceed fifty (50) minutes of one (1) hour, respectively. The
transportation time shall be determined by the School Board transportation routing system
and measured from the school the impact is to be assigned, to the center of the subject
parcel/plat in the amendment application, along the most direct improved public roadway
free from major hazards.
Policy 10-1.4.8 Guidelines and Standards for Modifications to CSAs. Any Party to the 2007
lnterlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and School Concurrency as Amended
January 2008 may propose a change to the CSA boundaries. Prior to adopting any change, the
School Board will verify that as a result of the change:
1. The adopted level of service standards will be achieved and maintained for each year of the
five-year planning period; and
2. The utilization of school capacity will be maximized to the greatest extent possible, taking
into account transportation costs, court approved desegregation plans, and other relevant
factors.
The City and other parties to the agreement shall observe the following process for modifying
CSA maps:
1. Changes in school attendance boundaries shall be governed by School Board Policy 5.30,
Section 120.54 F.S. and applicable uniform rules for administrative proceedings.
