CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT CHAPTER I FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT A. INTRODUCTION The purpose of the Future Land Use Element is to designate future land use patterns and densities and intensities of land uses in areas which will best accommodate the projected population and development. The Future Land Use Element is dependent upon the goals, objectives and policies of all of the other elements in the Comprehensive Plan to minimize adverse impacts on natural resources and maintain essential facilities and services at desired levels to maintain the quality of life within the City. The element consists of an inventory and analysis of existing land use data and patterns, the projection of future needs, objectives and policies as well as a land use plan and map series. The Future Land Use Map and associated policies and deftnitions will guide the review and permitting of new development. This element was developed and adopted pursuant to Chapter 163, FS, and as such will have signiftcant legal standing. All existing development regulations will be required to be consistent with the element and plan. 1. General History The City of Edgewater originated from the visions of Dr. John Milton Hawks in 1865 when he purchased a 500-acre Spanish land grant to establish a colony on the river. In 1871, Dr. Hawks formed the Hawks Park Company and hired a land surveyor to map out the village. In his book written in 1887, Dr. Hawks described the area. "The river is interspersed with mangrove islands with no marsh in front of the village. The town site is on an elevated ridge of high hammock and pine land rising in some places twenty feet above the river and is shaded all along with a narrow grove of palm trees." Dr. Hawks named the village Hawks Park and promoted it as a "New England Village on the East Coast of Florida" to attract investors from the New England states. Hawks Park was originally laid out as 493 lots that were 100 feet by 200 feet and the streets were 50 feet wide. In 1924, the name was changed to Edgewater. The City was incorporated in 1951. The most notable industries at that time were the crab meat factory; cement pipe manufacturing; prefabricated trusses; paint, varnish and cabinet making; the Tropical Blossom Honey Company; and, Loveland Groves fruit shipping. Additionally, Edgewater had the only hospital facility on the coast south of St. Augustine. The City's population had increased from 115 citizens in 1884, to about 500 in 1944, to today's estimated population of 18,865. B. EXISTING LAND USE DATA AND INVENTORY In order to better guide and direct future land uses within the City of Edgewater, it is necessary to ftrst gain an understanding of present land use patterns. A detailed Existing Land Use Map, Map 1- 1, was developed depicting the land use patterns in the City of Edgewater as of 2000. This map was developed by examining current and preliminary existing land use maps prepared by the City, recent Ordinance No. 2006-0-10 1-1 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT aerial photographs, and interviews with City officials and staff. In addition, a field survey was conducted for verification and updating of this information. It should be noted that the Existing Land Use Map represents a snapshot of development patterns as they existed in 2000. 1. Land Use Categories The land use categories, as shown on the Existing Land Use Map (11ap 1-1) are in accordance with the requirements set forth in 9J-5.006 (1) (a), FAC. In addition, several other categories were created to better represent actual land use for certain properties within the City. Table 1-1 shows each land use category and the corresponding amount of developed acreage for each. Acreage tabulations were provided by City staff and aggregated into their respective categories. A definition of each category follows, as well as a brief description of existing conditions. a. Residential Land Use Categories In 2000, there were 2,512 developed residential acres within the City of Edgewater. This category represents almost 36 percent of total lands and 77 percent of all developed lands, and includes single-family, multifamily and mobile home developments. Residential uses are divided into the following categories on the Existing Land Use Map: Agricultllre - (up to 1 unit per 2.5 acres) This category is mainly reserved for citrus growers, farmers, ranches, horticulture and similar uses. However, a single-family residence is permissible not exceeding one (1) unit per two and one half (2- Yz) acres. Accessory structures and primary agricultural uses may be permitted based upon the appropriate surrounding land uses. The Agricultural land use category is considered a holding land use until adequate public facilities become available for more intense development. Low Densiry Transition - (1 unit per acre) This residential category is limited to no more than one unit per acre. The Low Density Transition land use category is considered a holding land use until adequate public facilities become available for more intense development. Low Densiry Residential - (1.1 to 4 units per acre) This residential category is typically a suburban area dominated by detached single-family homes on quarter-acre lots. This is the predominant land use within the City. Medillm Densiry Residential - (4.1 to 8 units per acre) This urban scale Medium Density Residential category includes duplex, villa, cluster, townhouse, mobile home, manufactured and multi-family housing at densities between four (4) and eight (8) units per acre. High Densiry Residential - (8.1 to 12 units per acre) This residential category typically includes townhouses and multi-family housing at densities between eight (8) and twelve (12) acres. Ordinance No. 2006-0-10 1-2 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT (1) Existing Residential Subdivisions Edgewater Acres is located between Park A venue and Indian River Boulevard, west of the Florida East Cost (FEe) rail line. This development can be characterized as medium density single-family. The subdivision abuts some light industrial uses to the east and public lands to the west. Just south of Edgewater Acres is the northern section of the Florida Shores Subdivision. Florida Shores extends from Edgewater Acres south to the City limits. Initially platted in the 1950's, this community is the largest development within the City and represents a very large percentage of the residential land within the City of Edgewater. The subdivision has undergone scattered development and is roughly 70 - percent developed at present. The Wildwood Subdivision is located off of Park Avenue along the western City limits. This development is a single-family project and is bounded by unincorporated areas to the south, east and west. Edgewater Landing is a new manufactured home subdivision located between US 1 and the Indian River. It consists of approximately 455 lots. Residential development between US 1 and the Indian River can be generally characterized as low and medium density single-family. Those neighborhoods along Riverside Drive are predominantly low density with some medium density neighborhoods separating this area from the commercial corridor along US 1. Between US 1 and the Florida East Coast (FEe) Railroad are predominantly medium density single-family residential areas, interspersed with some higher density residential neighborhoods. Many of these neighborhoods are separated by vacant areas with some industrial and commercial uses located along the railroad. b. Commercial The commercial land use category consists of a variety of retail and office uses; such as, medical facilities, shopping centers, restaurants, automobile service facilities and similar uses. Typical neighborhood and highway service areas are allowed to build up to a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.30. Tourist commercial areas can build up to a maximum 0.50 FAR. The majority of commercial development within the City of Edgewater is located along US 1 in a strip pattern. The area contains restaurants, convenience goods stores and neighborhood centers. Another corridor of commercial development which has emerged is adjacent to the FEC Railroad within the Florida Shores Subdivision. Ordinance No. 2006-0-10 1-3 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT In 2000, there were 210 acres of commercially developed lands in the City. These developed lands represent only three percent of the total acreage in Edgewater and 3.7% percent of all developed lands. c. Mixed Use The purpose for the Mixed Use land use category and its corresponding zoning districts is to provide for a variety of land uses and intensities within a development site to preserve conservation areas, to reduce public investment in provision of services, to encourage flexible and creative site design and to provide public amenities which provide an area wide benefit to the community. The Mixed-Use land use category permits low, medium and high density residential; commercial uses (retail and office); light industrial; educational facilities; recreation facilities and compatible public facilities. To ensure that the Mixed-Use area is of a sufficient size to function as an integrated unit, this designation requires an area that has a minimum of fifteen acres. A mixed use category may be comprised of several parcels under different ownership, as long as the parcels are approved as a unified master plan with legal documents recorded prior to development or redevelopment that tie the parcels together. The master plan must be submitted for approval at the time of rezoning in a Mixed-Use land use category. The master plan may include multiple phases of development. The requirements for the master plan are identified in the Land Development Code. The intensity of the development within the Mixed-Use category will vary depending upon location and surrounding uses. Therefore, two (2) zoning districts have been established that allow a mix of uses to satisfy varying degrees of intensity. The two (2) zoning districts are the Community Center (CC) and regional Employment Center (EC). The typical uses and various locations of the two (2) mixed zoning districts shall be allowed based upon the following criteria: Commllniry Center - Located within the City's urban service area at major intersections or along major arterials, this district is intended to serve the residential and non- residential needs of the City's neighborhoods. Developments within this district should balance pedestrian and vehicular comfort, and should be located within the public transit system service area. Typical uses include shops, personal and business services, grocery stores, restaurants, cinemas, hotels, offices, civic facilities, day care, and residential (single family, apartments/condominiums, elderly housing, residential over commercial, townhouses and duplexes). Emplqyment Center - located within the City's urban service area along major expressways, arterials or collector roadways, and interchange areas where location factors and higher land values tend to attract higher intensity development; and, services and facilities are programmed to accommodate a variety of residential and non-residential land uses. Typical uses include medium to high-density residential, office, commercial and light industrial land uses. The intent of the employment center district is to: Ordinance No. 2006-0-10 1-4 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT (1) Provide an economic benefit in terms of employment opportunities and increased tax base; (2) Locate higher intensity uses where roadway capacity can accommodate increased traffic due to short trip distances to major roadways and increased lane capacity at major intersections; (3) Locate higher intensity uses along major roadways and intersections to reduce development pressures in other areas, thereby minimizing the road congestion and community compatibility impacts; and, (4) Locate higher intensity uses adjacent to hurricane evacuation routes to reduce pressures on local roads during storm events. Alternative modes of transportation are required in the Mixed-Use category to encourage pedestrian circulation. Tracts of land must be developed as a whole throughout the property to provide continuity among the various land uses and to create a compact and walkable living environment and workplace. Transitional uses are required to protect lower intensity and density uses from higher uses. Building heights must be stepped down adjacent to lower intensity and density uses. d. Sustainable Community Duelopment The Sustainable Community Development (hcreinafter referred to as "SCD" or "Sustainable Community Development") dcsignation is an innovati....e land use to facilitate implementation of smart gro~th principles in the Cit)" of Edge~ater. The keystone principles of Smart Crowth as set forth by V olusia County's Smart Crowth Implementation Committec and to be cornerstones of SCD de v elopment in the City of Edgcwater are as f-allows: · Ew.'iranmcnf. Smart grovfl:h emphasizes the early identification and preservation of environmentally important areas. open space, and agricultural areas. These are eonceh'ed of as a connected network of multi purpose lands that form the community's "green infrastructure." · Cammunitics. Smart grovrth emphasizes compact walkable, mixed use communities that seek to use land and infrastructure efficiently to rcduce the costs of servicing new development and provide a ran!:!:e of housing choices. Such development emphasizes innovation in sustainable design in both the conservation ofv.ater resources and energy. · Ecanom}~ Smart growth communities place an emphasis on a mix of land uses including residential. office, commercial. recreational. and !:!:overnmental that all work seamlessly in a New Urbanist framev/ork '.'lith Ordinance No. 2006-0-10 1-5 CITY OF EDGEW ATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT public investments that support the needs of sustainable economic development. Sustainable Community Dc.rclopment is the result of a collaborative planning process with a dc-nloper that seeks to holistically address ,;arying community needs in a flexible. yet systematic manner. The goal is to encourage inno-;a&.'e land use teclutiques. creative urban design, en-;ironmental protection and the judicious use of sustainable development principles and practices. In order to facilitate this vi3ion. the City will encourage fie~ and innO'.ati.-e design and land planning efforts wrneh recogn1ze that density is important. but no more important than the mixing of uses. the development of strong population and employment centers. the connection of streets and the design of structures and spaces on a human scale. coupled with context sensiw.rc solutiom in planning fDr thoroughfares witltin walleablc communities }.ll of this is accomplished within an 0". erall framework of environmental protection and sustainable design. A Sustainable Community Development designation i3 designed to facilitate the expafi3ion of the urban area of the City through the integration of a number of different land uses. including office. commercial. residential. recreational. go". ernmental and housing components so that all work seamlessly in a New Urbanist framework. The residential portion of SCD dc-;elopment will include homing units of various densities and types. at -,rarious price points and sizes. The housing nr.rcntory shall include. hut not be limited to. single family. multi family and townhouse homes as well as encouraging some residential ill'., entory to he located aho". e retail or commercial uses where appropriate in the conte.{t of the overall planning for the SCD. Sustainable Community Developments will t} pically be planned and initiated by the pri-;ate sector. where one or more propert}' owners have created a largc enough land mass within the City to justify its application. These areas will merit planning review on a larger and more comprehensy;e scale. f~ minimum of 500 acres and qualification as a Dc;elopment of Regional Impact (DR!) under Chapter 380.06.

Florida Statutes. or such other financial mechanisms that arc not dependent upon a budgetary allocation of the City of Edgewater. Ordinance No. 2006-0-10 1-9 CITY OF EDGEW A TER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT e. Industrial The Industrial land use category includes both light and heavy industrial uses. The maximum floor area ratio for light and heavy industrial uses is 0.42 FAR. Industrial Planned Unit Developments are permitted to go up to a 0.50 FAR. Industrial lands are located in the northwest and central part of the City along the FEC Railroad and extending westward along Park Avenue. North of Park Avenue there is some heavy industrial development. This industrial activity is part of a large parcel of land currendy zoned as an Industrial Planned Unit Development (IPUD). However, the majority of this property is currendy vacant. f. Recreation and Open Space This land use category includes park and recreation facilities owned by the City, as well as recreation facilities located at area schools that are under lease to the City. Open space includes those areas deemed worthy of preservation; such as, common open spaces in private developments and significant right-of-way buffers along major roadways and drainage systems. There are almost 92.69 acres of recreational lands identified within the City of Edgewater. The recreational element provides a complete inventory of sites and the facilities provided for these recreation uses. The recreation use category includes lands committed to both active and passive recreational uses. g. Public/Semi-Public The Public/Semi-Public category consists of public facilities and private not-for- profit uses such as churches, schools, and cemeteries. All other public lands and facilities, such as City Hall, post offices, utility sub-stations, water and wastewater treatment plants, fire stations and libraries are also included within this category. This category contains roughly 298 acres, and includes uses such as the airstrip, the water treatment plant near 1-95, school sites, some borrow pits and scattered public service buildings. h. Historical Resources This land use category consists of historic, archaeological and architectural resources within the City. The City is currendy in the process of completing a historic survey. Currendy, no structures have been identified as historic or listed on the Florida Master Site File. Thirteen archaeological sites located within the City of Edgewater have been included on the Florida Master Site File, as of July 2000. The State Division of Historical Resources maintains a database on each of the sites, which has been included in the Housing Element. Ordinance No. 2006-0-10 1-10 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT 1. Conservation The Conservation designation includes public lands that have been acquired and private land areas that have been reserved by mutual agreement with the property owner for the preservation and protection of Edgewater's natural resources. J. Conservation Overlay The Conservation Overlay area shown on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) is intended to protect areas that may potentially contain protected wildlife habitat areas, hydric soils/wetlands, mangrove swamps, estuarine marsh ecotone, freshwater marshes, special vegetative communities. Included within the Conservation Overlay definition are areas within a public water well radius of 500 feet, within the 1 DO-year floodplain, and other areas subject to environmental or topographic constraints. The area designated as Conservation Overlay on the FLUM is not intended to prevent development, but rather identify sensitive areas that need to be reviewed carefully during the review process to determine whether development should be permitted or if some form of mitigation may be necessary. If the areas are determined not to be sensitive, than the underlying land use development density and/or intensity will be applicable. k. Water/Lakes An additional land use category was created to represent water bodies located within the City of Edgewater. There are roughly 72.9 acres of water bodies and lakes within the City. The majority of the acreage corresponds to the river followed by water bodies located in the Florida Shores subdivision. 1. Vacant This category includes vacant, undeveloped and some underdeveloped acreage. This category includes lands that are in subdivisions, which are platted, but not over fifty percent developed, as well as lands, which currently have no active uses. There are almost 3,049-vacant/undeveloped acres within the City. The majority of these lands are located in the northwest part of the City near the Daytona Beach Community College; scattered throughout the Florida Shores Subdivision; surrounding Indian River Boulevard; and, south of the intersection of Interstate 95 and Indian River Boulevard. Currently, the Florida Shores subdivision is roughly 70-percent developed. Therefore, infill development within this project could become a residential issue in the future. There are some additional vacant/undeveloped lands remaining in the southeastern section of the City. In total, roughly 43.7 percent of the 6,971-acres within the City of Edgewater are currently designated as vacant on the Existing Land Use Map. Ordinance No. 2006-0-10 1-11 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT 2. Natural Resources The presence of natural resources within the City of Edgewater will affect the future land use pattern. The following narrative briefly discusses the natural environment within the City of Edgewater. Much of this information is discussed in greater detail within the Conservation Element. a) Climate The City of Edgewater enjoys warm temperatures with an average annual temperature of 710 F. Localized thunderstorms can be intense during the summer season, producing as much as two to three inches in a short period of time. This area of V olusia County enjoys two distinct seasons within climates generally considered subtropical and mild. b) Water Bodies/Estuarine Systems The eastern border of the City of Edgewater lies along the Intracoastal Waterway, which is part of the North Indian River. Surface waters in Florida are classified according to Section 17.3 of the Florida Administrative Code. The majority of surface waters in the City of Edgewater are Class III waters suitable for recreation and protection and management of wildlife. However, towards the southern City boundaries are Class II waters where there is shellfish propagation and harvesting. Map 1-2 indicates the water bodies within the City. A more detailed discussion on this subject is found in the Conservation Element. An estuary system is a body of water, which is semi-enclosed and has a free connection with the ocean. The North Indian River is an estuary system. This system is the most significant environmental resource in the City. It is also a valuable recreational and aesthetic resource. This part of the Indian River is also known as the Mosquito Lagoon, which is an aquatic preserve, and an Outstanding Florida Water (OFW). The estuary system plays an important role in Edgewater's ecosystem. This water body acts as a spawning area for many saltwater fish and shellfish. It provides a nursery area for immature fish and shellfish species. c) Wetlands The majority of the wetlands within the City are located on the west side near S.R. 442 and the Interstate. These wetlands are identified as palustrine and include the north end of the pristine Turnbull Hammock. Map 1-3 identifies the general location of wetlands within the City. A Conservation Overlay has been added to the Future Land Use Map to identify the location of potential wetland habitat and provide protection. There are some limited estuarine wetlands located along the shoreline of the Indian River. A Conservation Overlay has been included on the Future Land Use Map in this area also to protect the natural resources. Ordinance No. 2006-0-10 1-12 CITY OF EDGEWA TER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT There is a very small amount of wetlands within the older areas of the City of Edgewater. These wetland areas exist on sites already approved for development. d) Flood Zones Flooding of the planning area results primarily from hurricanes. The flood areas have been defmed as the lOa-year flood zone. This is the area subject to flooding by hurricanes on a statistical probability that this type of flood will occur at least once in every 100 years. The lOa-year floodplain areas are shown in Map 1-2. The entire shoreline of the Indian River has been identified within the lOa-year floodplain. Additionally, the lands on both sides of Air Park Road and west of the FEC rail line have been identified as potential lOa-year floodplain areas. There are also several areas west of the City within the lOa-year floodplain that are typically associated with the location of palustrine wetlands. e) Topography The physiographic features in the City of Edgewater consist of relatively flat lands. Map 1-4 identifies the general topography within Edgewater. The shoreline slopes down to the Indian River, and provides virtually no sandy beach areas. The area does, however, provide a narrow saltwater marsh ecotone area. f) Soils The development potential of land is affected by the types of soils present. Soils that have poor load bearing features or drain poorly will be more difficult and costly to develop. Other soils may not be suitable for certain types of development. Soils in Edgewater are no longer an issue for septic systems, because the City requires connection to central utilities. Soil classifications have been determined for the City of Edgewater by the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Map 1-5 presents the soil types within the City of Edgewater. Table 1-2 lists all the soil classifications found within the City and includes a brief description of each soil type(s) characteristics. Map 1-6 depicts soils that are suitable for development. The Conservation Element presents a more detailed discussion on this subject. The majority of the hydric soils in the City are located west of the interstate and in the Turnbull Hammock area. Additionally, there are some bands of hydric soils running north and south on the east side of the large Florida Shores single-family residential subdivision. The City has successfully converted the dwellings that were utilizing septic systems in this subdivision to the City's central sanitary system. g) Minerals The only commercially valuable minerals identified within the City of Edgewater are sand and shell. The only mining operations within the City limits have occurred Ordinance No. 2006-0-10 1-13 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT along Indian River Boulevard near Interstate 95. There has been a recent mining permit for an 80-acre parcel north of S.R. 442. C. LAND USE ANALYSIS This section of the Future Land Use Element summarizes eXlsting conditions and potential development trends and problems. Included in the analysis will be the availability of urban services such as sewer, solid waste, roadways and the availability of potable water. In addition, there is an analysis of potential limitations imposed by natural resources and man-made constraints. 1. Population Projections Projected population is the driving force behind future facility needs and land requirements. Projected population must be taken into consideration in preparing the Future Land Use Element and the spatial requirements necessary to meet this future growth. Population estimates and projections were prepared by Land Design Innovations, Inc. as part of background information for the Comprehensive Plan. These projections and associated methodologies can be found in the section titled "Population Projections" of this Comprehensive Plan. As can be seen, the estimated 2000 population for the City of Edgewater is 18,865 total residents. By the year 2020, this population is expected to reach 34,481. The projected average rate of population growth for the planning period (2000-2020) is 3.23 percent annually. In 2000, there were approximately 7,822 total housing units in the City of Edgewater. By the year 2010, the number of households is projected to reach over 9,937 based upon projections made by the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing. The seasonal component in Edgewater is less significant than permanent population. One housing component, mobile homes, had some seasonality in its market. The existing number of seasonal dwelling units is estimated to be 416. By 2010, the number of seasonal units is projected to increase to 535 dwellings. 2. Analysis of Public Facilities Mfecting Development It is important to ensure that public facilities and services that are necessary to support development are available current with the impact of development. a) Potable Water All residences and commercial activities within the City limits are served by the City's central water system. The City recently constructed new well fields and a new state of the art 5.0 MGD (million gallons per day) water treatment plant. The new facilities came on-line in 1993. Additionally, the City has closed the Eastern well field to reduce the potential for saltwater intrusion. There have been no additional reports of contamination at any of the well sites. The City currently has 17 wells permitted for consumption and Ordinance No. 2006-0-10 1-14 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT only 10 are active. Map 1-7 identifies the City's 10 active wells and two (2) active wellfields. The City currently has capacity to provide its adopted level of service for potable water of 100 gallons per capita per day. Based upon the projected population growth for the utility service area, the current water treatment plant's capacity should not be exceeded until sometime between 2015 and 2020. Depending upon the additional capacity of the reclaimed water system the facility may not need to be upgraded during the planning period. The City will have to expand its water storage capacity to maintain its objective to be able to store at least half of the average daily demand before 2020. The City will require adequate new distribution system lines concurrent with new development and redevelopment. b) Sanitary Sewer The facilities for collection, treatment and disposal of wastewater are provided by the City of Edgewater wastewater treatment plant and collection system network. Although the wastewater service area extends beyond the City limits, the actual collection zones for wastewater treatment exclude large sections within the City and overall service area. (See the Sanitary Sewer Sub element and Conservation Element for a more detailed discussion.) Septic tanks provide on-site wastewater treatment for those areas within the City, which are outside the collection zones. There are approximately 376 users still on septic systems in various locations throughout the City. The City should limit development in those areas unserved by the central system to low intensity and density land uses, until such time as the collection areas are expanded. The City constructed a new 2.75 MGD wastewater treatment plant in 1993. Additionally, the City has extended its wastewater collection system and successfully accommodated several collection zones that were previously utilizing septic tanks on unsuitable soils. The most notable accomplishment is Florida Shores single family residential subdivision. The retrofit is complete and the City is currently providing centralized sewer to this subdivision comprised of approximately 6,000 building sites. c) Stormwater Currently, there are two (2) major stormwater management systems in the City of Edgewater. The Florida Shores system drains an area of approximately 4.8 miles and is made up of five (5) basins. Four of these basins drain into the Indian River while one drains into the Turnbull Hammock. The Gabordy Canal system drains an area of 2.0 square miles and is made up of two (2) basins, both of which drain into the Indian River. Figure 7 shows the location of the City's two (2) stormwater systems and the approximate location of their divides along with the various drainage basins lying within each system. The area of the City that lies adjacent to the Indian River is presently handled by a series of culverts, swales, ditches and storm sewers. Ordinance No. 2006-0-10 1-15 CITY OF EDGEW A TER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT Data and analysis contained in the Drainage Sub-Element indicate that there are currendy areas where flooding occurs, the most notable is the Florida Shores subdivision. Additional stormwater facilities will be required to serve existing development as well as new development. However, there are no particular implications for land use decision-making. New development and redevelopment activities are reviewed by the City and the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) to ensure that adequate drainage is provided. Level-of- service standards for drainage will determine whether development will proceed. Older areas will require improvements by the City. A stormwater utility fee was created to fund these improvements and a stormwater master plan is currendy being prepared and is expected to be completed by mid 2001. In some cities, drainage problems are severe enough to indicate the need for abandonment of areas impacted by frequent and extensive flooding. This may take the form of moving residents to other areas and tearing down houses; Lands are then used for open space or other activities, which are not affected by frequent flooding. Flooding in Edgewater does not represent this type of problem. Most localized flooding is the result of inadequately designed drainage systems, but the flooding is not extensive or threatening. The City's strategy is to improve drainage systems so as to reduce the incidence of periodic flooding. d) Solid Waste The City of Edgewater does not currendy have a solid waste disposal facility. Solid waste is collected by the City and then taken to a City-operated transfer station. From the transfer station the solid waste is transported to the Tomoka Landfill, located near Daytona Beach in V olusia County for disposal. The existing transfer station and truck fleet have sufficient capacity to serve the City's projected population during the planning period. The County plans to continue operating the landfill for another 25 to 30 years before closure. e) Transportation All of the roadways within the City are currendy operating at an adequate level of service. Based upon transportation modeling projections for the year 2020, improvements will be necessary to prevent Park Avenue from dropping below the adopted level of service. The City will also need to review all proposed developments to ensure that the anticipated trips will not drop the level of service for the road network below that necessary for adequate hurricane evacuation (refer to the Transportation and Coastal Elements for further discussion). 3. Analysis of Natural Conditions Affecting Development The ability of land to support development, better known as the carrying capacity, is a major determinant in land use patterns. Other than the Indian River shoreline, Turnbull Ordinance No. 2006-0-10 1-16 CITY OF EDGEW A TER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT Hammock, isolated wedands and 1 DO-year floodplain areas there are relatively few natural constraints to development in Edgewater. Environmental permitting requirements have become much more strict in recent years which should suffice to restrict development in pristine natural areas and preserve wildlife habitats. Additionally, the City has adopted a Conservation Overlay designation on the Future Land Use Map to identify potential sensitive habitat areas that may be worthy of preservation. a) Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge According to the SJRWMD Water Resource Management Plan (phase 1) and as stated in the City's Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge sub-element, the City of Edgewater lies in an area of generally no recharge to the Floridan Aquifer. At the present time, there have been no areas of prime recharge designated for the City's existing or projected service area. The City has established a program to reclaim water for irrigation purposes to reduce the draw down of groundwater supplies. The City's reclaimed water system has reduced the use of irrigation wells within the City and the system will continue to be expanded to serve new development. b) Flood Prone Areas There are several areas within the City which lie within floodplains. These areas were depicted earlier in Map 1-2. There are basically three large areas within these flood hazard zones, the coastal area along the east side of Riverside Drive, and two areas in the northwest section of the City. In addition, there are several smaller scattered areas within the City. Where possible, development is not recommended within these flood prone areas. Along the coastal floodplain, the Future Land Use Map Conservation Overlay limits development in undeveloped areas. Within the northwest section of the City, industrial uses north of Park Avenue were kept out of the floodplain area. This area is part of the Turnbull Hammock and should be protected (see Conservation Element for further discussion). Additional lands in floodplains are located west of Interstate 95 and south of S.R. 442, which have been identified in the Conservation Overlay. Existing land uses on the two parcels east and west of Mango Tree Drive were confined to the northern section with the remaining undeveloped areas protected. For these areas, which are currendy disturbed, new development should meet the standards as set forth by the HUD Flood Insurance Program. 4. Vacant Land Analysis In analyzing the carrying capacity of vacant land for development, soil maps and various natural resource maps were overlaid with the Existing Land Use Map. Two issues facing the City of Edgewater with regard to these factors include the flood hazard zones, which were discussed above, and soil conditions. Map 1-6 shows the results of soil suitability analysis for building construction. Table 1-4 provides a vacant land analysis for the City based existing acreage that is not designated as Conservation Overlay. Ordinance No. 2006-0-10 1-17 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT Based upon analysis of the City's Conservation and Conservation Overlay designations, the presence of water bodies, rights-of-way and easements; approximately 20 percent of the total area of the City may not be developable. The exact acreage will be determined as site- specific environmental impact studies are performed for those properties within the Conservation Overlay category. 5. Projected Land Use Needs This section of the Future Land Use Element projects the amount of land for different land use categories that will be necessary to accommodate future population growth. The only significant difference between the existing land use categories and the future land use categories is the new Mixed Use land use category. The methodology used to project the future demand for the various land uses was based on the current proportion of land use acreage to population, with the necessary adjustments to address the new Mixed Use land use category. a) Future Residential Land An analysis of residential lands within the City of Edgewater was conducted to determine current densities and availability of vacant residential lands. Table 1-3 presents the amount of developable lands by land use category within the City. There are 3,498 acres of residential land shown on the Future Land Use Map of which only 3,300 acres are assumed to be developable. Of this total, roughly 2,460 acres had been developed by 2000. Some of the dwelling units projected for the planning period will be developed in areas which are already committed to residential development. Approximately 30-percent of the existing residential land within the City is estimated to be vacant; this is based upon the large Florida Shores subdivision and other residential developments that are not built-out. The Housing Element presents an analysis of the vacant residential land uses within the City of Edgewater. The element identifies the maximum dwelling units per acre that could be accommodated within certain land use categories. Maximum allowable densities within the City's vacant residential land range between one (1) dwelling unit per 2.5 acres for single-family to 12 units per acre for high density. The Housing Element presents an analysis of the demand for future residential land by housing types and density level, based on current land use categories. Between 2000 and the year 2010, it is estimated that roughly 3,327 new housing units will be needed within the City of Edgewater. This projection includes both permanent and seasonal dwelling units. The demand for specific housing types was based on Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing projections. Examination of recent building permit activity for the years 1990 to 2000 indicated a strong preference for single-family housing. Of the total units permitted between this period, roughly 74 percent were for single-family units. Approximately three (3) percent were multi-family and duplex units, and 23 percent were for mobile homes. Ordinance No. 2006-0-10 1-18 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT From this analysis and based on total projected housing units, it is assumed that roughly 3,026 single-family and 301 multi-family additional units will be needed by 2010. The proportion of current acreage of land use categories to population was used to determine projected land use categories. As can be seen in Table 1- 5, future growth will demand approximately 3,854 residential acres. This demand was determined based upon a comparison to the existing number of acres per 1,000 residents for each land use category with modifications for already approved development. Since the projected future demand for residential acreage is 3,854 acres and the Future Land Use Map only indicates 3,300 future developable acres, there may be a need for annexation or increased density to compensate the demand. The typical reactions of the market to the demand for housing are anticipated to close the gap between the additional 554 acres that may be needed, considering the ample supply of vacant land currently surrounding the City. b) Future Commercial Land Use The projected increase in population will result in the need for more commercial development to serve these new residents. In 2000, there were almost 207 developed commercial acres within the City of Edgewater. Projections of future commercial land were based on ratios of acres to population. Based on the 2000 population of 18,865, the ratio was approximately 11 commercial acres per 1,000 population. However, opportunities do exist for infill development and increases in density. The City is pursuing redevelopment opportunities and encouraging economic growth. Additional commercial acreage is also anticipated to develop adjacent to the Interstate 95 interchange, which is a regional opportunity for the City. Therefore, the commercial acres-per-population ratio was projected at 15 commercial acres per 1,000 population to account for this factor. The amount of additional commercial acres necessary to support future growth through the year 2010 is estimated to be an additional 188 acres of developable land. c) Future Industrial Land Use Industrial land use projections were calculated using the same basic methodology as described above for commercial lands. The amount of industrial acreage required to meet future growth is shown in Table 1-5. Currently, there are almost 213 acres of developed industrial lands within the City of Edgewater. For every 1,000 people, there are 11 industrial acres similar to commercial. Based upon recent annexations and proposals for increased industrial acreage surrounding the airport and FEC railroad line, it is projected that the demand will increase to nearly 20 acres per 1,000 population. Therefore, an additional 315 industrial acres will be required by the year 2010 to meet the demand. Ordinance No. 2006-0-10 1-19 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT d) Future Recreation and Open Space Land Use The Recreation and Open Space Element analyzes in detail the current and future park and open space needs of the City population. The Element concluded that in order to accommodate the projected population and meet the adopted levels of service, the City would have to provide a total of 106 acres of parkland by 2010. Based on population projections, there will be a deficit of 22 acres of parks by 2010. The City presendy is considering several areas. One possibility is the conversion of the 10-acre brown field currendy owned by the City adjacent to the Coronado Farms site. The Future Land Use Map and Table 1-5 do not show the additional acreage of parkland by 2010 due to the fact that its location is not certain at this time. e) Future Conservation/Conservation Overlay Land Use These land use categories include those lands which contain valuable and threatened natural resources, such as floodplains, estuarine properties, and unique ecological communities. There are several very noteworthy areas to be considered for possible conservation designations on the Future Land Use Map. They are currendy shown as Conservation Overlay. The largest area is in the northwest section of the City where there are large tracts of undeveloped land which are ecologically unique. A large hardwood hammock which provides excellent wildlife habitat and passive recreational opportunities is located in this area. This area is also within the 100-year floodplain. Another area that may be suitable for Conservation use is along the Indian River shoreline. This area needs to be considered for conservation use because of its unique value as public access to the estuary, for the protection of shoreline vegetation and because it is within the 100-year floodplain. Those areas that are desirable for permanent designation as Conservation land uses on the Future Land Use Map should be purchased by the City for preservation or mutual agreements should be pursued with property owners to preserve their resources. Table 1-5 shows that the City assumes that the ratio of Conservation and Conservation Overlay acreage to population will remain constant over the next 10 years. f) Future Public/Semi-Public Facilities Based upon an analysis of existing and future needs, the City anticipates the need to acquire additional land to accommodate its public facility and service functions as the population increases. Table 1-5 indicates a future demand for an additional 151 acres by 2010. One site that is currendy being evaluated for its potential is the 50-acre Coronado Farms site on SR 442. Ordinance No. 2006-0-10 1-20 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT 6. Need for Redevelopment The City of Edgewater has been developing since 1870. Some of the older structures in the City have begun to show signs of aging and deterioration. The commercial corridor along U.S. Highway 1, in the heart of downtown, has become blighted and vacancies are occurring more frequently. The City recently invested capital into the restoration of the Riverfront, which has great potential to tie into the downtown walkable area along Park Avenue. The City needs to pursue alternatives to encourage economic investment and redevelopment in this area. A few of the City's residential dwellings are also showing signs of aging. The City is currently working on a historic survey to identify significant structures based on historic events or architecture. Historic reservation guidelines must be maintained in the Land Development Code to ensure that the City's significant historic resources remain intact during redevelopment. Additional design standards should be adopted to ensure that redevelopment respects the architectural character of significant historic structures in the City. The City also needs to continue to pursue funding to retrofit all development that is utilizing septic systems on unsuitable soils. 7. Inconsistent Land Uses Those uses, or areas which will be made non-conforming by adoption of the Comprehensive Plan will be precluded from either increasing the degree of non-conformity or from development of new non-conforming uses. The intent of this element is to maintain the existing development patterns in the City. This pattern is consistent with the land use objectives and policies of the City. Therefore, current uses that will be inconsistent with the element are minimal. However, where such inconsistent areas exist, and there is clearly no "vesting" of the development rights associated with the inconsistent designation, the areas shall be re-designated to the land use shown on the Future Land Use Map.

CITY OF EDGEW A TER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT D. GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES GOAL 1: To effectively manage the land use pattern in the City to enhance the quality of life for its citizens; promote economic vitality; and, accommodate population and development growth in an environmentally acceptable manner. Objective 1.1: Land Use Categories. The City shall maintain regulations for land use categories and a Future Land Use Map to ensure the coordination of future land uses with existing and adjacent land uses. Policy 1.1.1: The adopted Future Land Use Map shall contain and identify appropriate locations for the following land use categories, as defined in this element. Land Use Categories Maximum Density/Intensity Agriculture 1 dwelling unit/2.5 acres Low Density Transition 1 dwelling unit/acre Low Density Residential 4 dwelling units/acre Medium Density Residential 8 dwelling units/ acre High Density Residential 12 dwelling units/acre Commercial 0.5 floor area ratio Mixed Use 12 dwelling units per acre and 0.5 floor area ratio Industrial 0.5 floor area ratio - Recreation and Open Space 0.25 floor area ratio Conservation Not Applicable Conservation Overlay Not Applicable Public/Semi-Public 0.5 floor area ratio Smtainablc Community 1.5 to 36 du/ acre / .10 to 5.0 FAR - . Policy 1.1.2: Policy 1.1.3: Policy 1.1.4: Density/Intensity. The City shall adopt maXlnmm densities and intensities for each land use category which encourage economic development while protecting the natural environment as indicated in the above table. Zoning Districts. The City shall maintain an adopted zoning matrix which shall establish zoning districts that correspond to specific land use categories. The matrix shall further define allowable densities and intensities in each zoning district. Innovative Design. The City shall encourage innovative land use development techniques (including procedures for Mixed-Use planned Revision 3-06 1-30 CITY OF EDGEW A TER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT Policy 1.1.5: Policy 1.1.6: Policy 1.1.7: Policy 1.1.8: unit development and cluster development), as further specified in the data and analysis of this Element. Housing. The Future Land Use Map shall contain an adequate diversity of lands for residential uses to meet the future demand for residential densities identified in the Housing Element. Density Bonus. The land development regulations may also provide for up to 25% increase in permitted residential densities for Mixed-Use planned unit developments. Specific standards and procedures for allowing such increases shall be included in the land development regulations. The land development regulations may provide for up to a 25% increase in the maximum permitted intensity of commercial or industrial development where exceptional provisions are made for buffers, landscaping, open space, and protection of existing native trees. Provision of such additional amenities shall be in addition to minimum requirements. Recreation and Open Space. Public or private lands may be designated as Recreation and Open Space. If the facility is not resourced-based, a maximum of 25% impervious area shall be allowed in areas designated as Recreation and Open Space to ensure their protection, proper development and future public use and benefit. Urban inftll areas may have development exceptions. Development in this land use category should be in the public interest. Conservation Overlay. Properties that are designated as Conservation Overlay areas may potentially contain wildlife habitat areas including habitat for rare, endangered and threatened species, hydric soils/wetlands (as defined in the Conservation Element), mangrove swamps, cypress swamp, mixed hardwood swamp, hydric hardwood hammock and sand pine/xeric oak scrub, estuarine marsh ecotone, freshwater marshes, special vegetative communities, areas within a public water well radii of SOD-feet, 1 DO-year floodplain areas, and other areas subject to environmental or topographic constraints. . A final determination of the suitability for development of any individual parcel, as it relates to a Conservation Overlay area on the Future Land Use Map, shall be determined prior to issuance of any development approval. Revision 3-06 1-31 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT . The Conservation Overlay area on the Future Land Use Map is not to be considered the exact boundary of the conservation area, but to act as an indicator of a potential conservation area. The exact boundary shall be determined by a qualified professional on a case-by-case basis at the expense of the Developer. The Conservation Overlay area is not all inclusive and other areas that do not fall within the boundaries that meet the definition of conservation areas are also subject to the regulations affecting them. Development approval will be subject to an Environmental Impact Study as to the extent of the impact of development or redevelopment for any lands within Conservation Overlay areas. If an area within the Conservation Overlay area is determined to be developable and all mitigation requirements have been met, then the underlying land use on the Future Land Use Map will apply. Any property in a Conservation Overlay area is required to undergo the planned unit development procedure which includes site specific plan approval and the clustering of density to protect these areas. Principal permitted structures may not be located in any mangrove swamp, estuarine marsh ecotone, or freshwater marsh. Access for recreation will be permitted by the City on a limited basis. Efforts should be made to protect wetlands, if feasible. Otherwise, appropriate mitigation is required. Natural resources that are discovered as a result of a required environmental study will be protected. The environmental impact study will require that a qualified professional analyze the natural functions of eco-systems and connectivity of resource corridors. A Conservation land use designation or a conservation easement will be required to protect the functions of natural resources. Mitigation may be allowed on a case-by-case basis through the appropriate reviewing agencies. Land use categories that have Conservation Overlay areas may be allowed to transfer development densities/intensities (up to 1 unit per 10 acres for residential or the gross floor area density for non-residential development) to other areas of the site that are determined not to have natural resources. Sites that are determined to be comprised of more than 30% natural resources will be required to provide additional . . . . . . . . . Revision 3-06 1-32 CITY OF EDGEW A TER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT Policy 1.1.9: performance standards to allow the transfer of developments densities/intensities, such as increased landscaping, stormwater design amenities, reclaimed water usage, conservation devices, etc. . All applicable land development regulations must be met to transfer development rights, including 20% open space and minimum pervious surface requirements. . Upon completion of an environmental assessment, the area(s) determined to be ecologically sensitive by a professional ecological expert will be placed in a conservation easement to be preserved or mitigated through the appropriate reviewing/regulatory agency. At a minimum, the following areas shall be placed in a conservation easement; habitat for rare, endangered, or threatened species; wetlands of Yz acre or more; mangrove swamps; cypress swamp; mixed hardwood swamps; hydric hardwood hammock; sand pine/xeric oak scrub; and areas within a public water well radii of SOO-feet. If a conservation easement is more than five (5) acres, the City will designate it as Conservation of the Future Land Use Map during the next comprehensive plan amendment cycle. Mixed Use. The Mixed-Use land use category permits low, medium and high density residential development; commercial uses (retail and office); light industrial; educational facilities; recreation facilities; and, compatible public facilities. The following restrictions are applicable to all Mixed-Use developments: . A minimum of fifteen acres is required for the Mixed-Use land use category designation. . The only zoning districts permitted in the Mixed-Use land use categories are planned developments, including community center and employment center districts. . The City currently has an abundance of single-family residential land and limited commercial and light industrial uses. To encourage a variety of uses within the mixed use district, the community center and employment center districts will limit the percentage of anyone type of use in the district, as follows: Commlmiry Center - The maximum amount of residential will be 60% of the site. The maximum amount of commercial uses (office and retail) will be 75% of the site. The maximum amount of light industrial will be 75% of the site. The Revision 3-06 1-33 CITY OF EDGEW A TER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT . maximum amount of educational and public facilities will be 60% of the site. Employment Center - The maximum amount of residential will be 30% of the site. The maximum amount of commercial uses (office and retail) will be 80% of the site. The maximum amount of light industrial will be 70% of the site. The maximum of educational and public facilities will be 40% of the site. Mixed use land use categories that have Conservation Overlay areas may be allowed to transfer development densities/intensities (up to 1 unit per 10 acres for residential or the gross floor area density for non-residential development) from sensitive natural resource locations to upland areas of the site that are determined not to have natural resources. Sites that are determined to be comprised of more than 30% natural resources will require additional performance standards to allow the transfer of development densities/intensities, such as increased landscaping, stormwater design amenities, reclaimed water usage, conservation devices, and transition uses for compatibility with adjacent land uses. The transference of development rights to upland portions of the site will not negate the City's land development regulations. All regulations must still be met to transfer development rights, including 20% open space and minimum pervious surface requirements. . .

The City shall maintain land development regulations that protect natural resources (such as, groundwater, surface water, floodplains, wildlife habitat, wetlands and other vegetative communities) from the impact of development. Additionally, the City will prevent development in areas that have inadequate soils, topography or other constraints to protect public health and welfare. The City shall protect manatees in the Indian River through the adoption of the V olusia County Manatee Protection Plan. Policy 1.2.1: Policy 1.2.2: Policy 1.2.3: Policy 1.2.4: Policy 1.2.5: Policy 1.2.6: Policy 1.2.7: Policy 1.2.8: As of the year 2000, the City will no longer permit the use of septic tanks within the City to prevent potential soil and groundwater contamination. When financially feasible, the City shall extend central sewer service to all developed properties within the current City limits. The City will also coordinate with the County to limit septic tank permits. All previously developed properties must connect to central sewer when it becomes available within SOO-feet of the property and/or structure. The City shall continue to pursue funding to retrofit all development that is utilizing septic systems on unsuitable soils. Industrial and commercial land uses that produce hazardous wastes and any other land use determined by the City to be potentially detrimental shall be prohibited within SOO-feet of all public potable water well radii. The City shall maintain a floodplain management ordinance, which includes the development standards required for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. Furthermore, the ordinance shall require that new construction or substantial improvement of any structure have the lowest floor elevated to one foot (1') above the established 100-year flood elevation without the use of fill. The City shall use the Conservation Overlay on the Future Land Use Map and required Environmental Impact Study's to protect the natural functions of the floodplains in the City and adjacent jurisdictions. Additional performance standards will be required for development sites that are determined through the Environmental Impact Study to have floodplains, such as vegetative buffers, additional setbacks, and clustered development away from the floodplains areas. The City shall support the prohibition of development on the mangrove and spoil islands located within the Indian River/ Mosquito Lagoon estuary. Revision 3-06 I-3S CITY OF EDGEW A TER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT Policy 1.2.9: Policy 1.2.10: Policy 1.2.11: Policy 1.2.12 Policy 1.2.13 Policy 1.2.14 Policy 1.2.15 Policy 1.2.16 Policy 1.2.17 The City shall maintain stormwater management requirements in the Land Development Code, which provide specific standards for the design of on-site stormwater systems, as well as strategies and measures to minimize runoff into the Indian River Lagoon. No development orders shall be issued unless the proposed development is determined to be in compliance with the City's Stormwater Master Plan. The City shall utilize the natural vegetative map, USGS, Soil Conservation Service and the Hydric Soils of Florida Handbook to identify properties which have potential development constraints based upon hydric soils, wedand vegetation, flood hazard potential or other topographic constraints, and, if necessary, require an Environmental Impact Study. The City shall regulate boating impacts on the Indian River pursuant to Phase II, the Boat Facility Siting component, of the Manatee Protection Plan for V olusia County as adopted by the City on August 1, 2005. The City shall implement the "slip aggregation" option referenced in the V olusia County Manatee Protection Plan. The aggregated number of motorized boat slips to be constructed within the City is 418 and is based upon data and research contained in the Manatee Protection Plan for V olusia County. Single-Family residential lots with Indian River frontage shall not be denied their riparian rights to construct a minimum of one (1) motorized boat slip per lot. The City shall encourage shared, multi-slip facilities and aggregation of slips during development and redevelopment, including single-family lots of record. Any marina development/redevelopment shall be consistent with the Manatee Protection Plan for V olusia County. The City shall monitor the protection policies pursuant to the Manatee Protection Plan for V olusia County. Objective 1.3: Concurrency. The City shall ensure that future development is provided essential services and facilities at acceptable standards by incorporating the following policies into the site plan review process and the City's Concurrency Management System. Revision 3-06 1-36 CITY OF EDGEW A TER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT Policy 1.3.1: Policy 1.3.2: Policy 1.3.3: The City shall review all development and redevelopment proposals to determine their specific impacts on current Levels of Service (LOS) for all services and facilities addressed in this Comprehensive Plan. If a proposed development will result in a degradation of the adopted LOS, then a development order will be denied unless it can be demonstrated that sufficient improvements will be in place concurrent with the impacts of such development to maintain the adopted minimum LOS standard. The City will continue to seek fiscal resources to extend City service areas, expand water and wastewater collection zones, improve City roadways, and make other improvements necessary to accommodate growth and maintain services and facilities at adopted standards. Objective 1.4: Discourage Urban Sprawl and Encourage Redevelopment. The City will maintain regulations and procedures in the Land Development Code to limit the proliferation of urban sprawl and encourage redevelopment and revitalization of blighted areas. Policy 1.4.1: Policy 1.4.2: Policy 1.4.3: Policy 1.4.4: Policy 1.4.5: The City will limit land development activities outside of the adopted Utility Service Area boundary to encourage infill and ensure the availability of services and facilities to accommodate development. Intensive development proposed for areas outside the established utility service area shall be discouraged unless it can be demonstrated that such development will be adequately served by alternative service delivery systems. If necessary, the City may reduce limitations on infill and redevelopment activities consistent with the land uses and densities indicated in this plan in situations that will not jeopardize public health, safety or welfare. By 2002, the City shall evaluate the US Highway 1 corridor and the Park A venue corridor to develop a plan for revitalization. The plan shall identify land uses and densities to be permitted, including density bonuses, and will address traffic circulation (both on-site and off-site), landscaping and open spaces, sign controls, and buffers for contiguous residential areas. If blighted or otherwise deteriorated areas develop within the City, the areas shall be targeted for special consideration through a redevelopment plan and the City shall pursue available Federal, State, County and Local funds for redevelopment. Revision 3-06 1-37 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT Objective 1.5: Land Use Compatibility. Future development must be consistent with the adopted Future Land Use Map and existing incompatible uses shall not be allowed to expand and shall be eliminated, when feasible. Policy 1.5.1: Policy 1.5.2: Policy 1.5.3: Policy 1.5.4: Policy 1.5.5: Policy 1.5.6: Policy 1.5.7: Proposed land use amendments, which are inconsistent with the character of the community or inconsistent with adjacent future land uses shall not be approved by the City, unless the adjacent future land uses can be shown to be inconsistent. The City's land development regulations shall contain proVlsions that prohibit the repair or rehabilitation of an inconsistent structure that is abandoned or damaged beyond 50% of its appraised value and require demolition of the structure. Redevelopment of the property will only be allowed if it is consistent with the Future Land Use Map. Intensive commercial land uses over 100,000 gross square feet shall be prohibited within established residential areas. Such uses shall be located at intersections of arterial roads or at intersections of an arterial and a major collector road. Such uses may also be considered as appropriate along US #1 where the use is part of a Mixed-Use development appropriately buffered from adjacent older residential areas. Smaller commercial retail uses (including convenience stores) shall be located along arterial or major collector roads, but must be integrated in terms of traffic flow with adjacent development and buffered from single family uses. Intensive commercial and industrial land uses shall be buffered from low- density residential areas. This will be accomplished by locating less intensive transitional uses in between, or by visual buffering with berms, trees, or other methods to be included in the Land Development Code as deemed appropriate by the City. Higher density residential development shall be designated for areas adjacent to more intensive land uses such as Commercial and Light Industrial. Where feasible, visual buffering shall be utilized to reduce any negative effects on the residents of such development. The City shall maintain a Landscape Ordinance that requires adequate buffering between transitional uses. The City shall maintain site design requirements and subdivision regulations in the Land Development Code, which adequately address the impacts of new development on adjacent properties in all land use categories and zoning districts. Revision 3-06 1-38 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT Policy 1.5.8: Policy 1.5.9 The City's land development regulations shall limit signage which can be viewed from residential property and restrict the location of signs which interfere with traffic flow and sight distance. Due to the widening of S.R. 442 the City shall permit conversion of existing residential structures to professional office uses only when the following conditions shall apply: · The property is located on S.R. 442, east of Pinedale Road and west of US Highway 1, and has a minimum of 100-feet frontage along S.R. 442. · A Conditional Use Permit is applied for and granted by the Planning and Zoning Board. · Adequate access and parking to redeveloped parcels is provided. · Land Development Code standards for buffers and site visibility triangle can be provided to effectively maintain the viability of adjacent residential uses. . A site plan is approved by City staff. Professional office uses permitted are restrictive and shall be designed to serve primarily the residents of the immediate neighborhood. The usage of these properties shall not be detrimental to, nor incompatible with the current nature of the area. Specific guidelines and requirements for conversion of those properties are provided in the City of Edgewater Land Development Code. Objective 1.6: Transportation/Land Use Compatibility. The City will ensure that population densities, housing types, employment patterns, and land uses are consistent with the City's transportation network. Policy 1.6.1: Policy 1.6.2: Policy 1.6.3: Curb cuts and points of access to the traffic circulation system shall be minimized. Shared driveways and cross access between adjacent properties shall be encouraged. Proposed transportation improvements shall be consistent with the land use patterns on the Future Land Use Map. Revision 3-06 1-39 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT Policy" 1.6.4: Policy 1.6.5: Policy 1.6.6: Land uses that may generate high traffic counts shall be encouraged to locate adjacent to arterial roads and mass transit systems. The City shall require an adequate quantity of on-site parking to accommodate land uses. In April 2004, the City adopted a corridor plan for S.R. 442, which includes regulations in the Land Development Code for an overlay district, which shall provide for specific streetscape, landscape, architectural design standards, etc., for properties developed along the S.R 442 corridor. Objective 1.7: Adjacent Jurisdictions. The City shall promote compatibility of adjacent land uses with Volusia County and the neighboring cities of New Smyrna Beach and Oak Hill. Policy 1.7.1: Policy 1.7.2: Policy 1.7.3: When reviewing land use amendments, the City shall consider the existing and proposed land uses in any jurisdictions that are adjacent to the proposed amendment. By 2001, enter into a Joint Planning Area agreement with V olusia County to control the timing of urban expansion. Continue intergovernmental coordination through associated technical committees with neighboring jurisdictions, such as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) , the V olusia Council of Governments (VCOG) and the V olusia Growth Management Commission. Objective 1.8: Annexation. The City shall pursue a policy of annexation, which will provide for the most efficient use of public facilities and services, eliminate areas of jurisdictional problems, and provide for sound growth and development of the City and surrounding area. Policy 1.8.1: Policy 1.8.2: Policy 1.8.3: The City will seek to enter into an interlocal agreement with V olusia County within 12 months of the effective date of this amendment regarding a future joint planning area, future annexation boundaries, urban service boundaries, and a matrix of compatible County and City land uses. In order to reduce land use conflicts and for efficient public service provision, the City shall investigate and, where feasible, annex all enclaves as soon as possible. New development proposed within the County in areas that are contiguous to the City shall be annexed into the City and developed to City standards as a condition for the extension of public utilities. Revision 3-06 1-40 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT Objective 1.9: Historic and Archeological Sites. The City shall identify, designate and protect historically significant housing and significant archeological sites. Policy 1.9.1: Policy 1.9.2: Policy 1.9.3: Policy 1.9.4: The City will protect and preserve its historic sites and properties, buildings, artifacts, treasure troves and objects of antiquity, which have scientific or historic value, or are of interest to the public. Development shall be prohibited which alters or damages any site or building determined to be historically significant that is designated on the register of historically significant property maintained by the State of Florida. By 2004, the City shall establish more restrictive standards for historic preservation in the Code of Ordinances to ensure the protection of historically significant cultural sites and historic structures from development or redevelopment. By 2003, the City shall prepare a study of historic and archeological sites. If any are identified, the City shall maintain a database that identifies the location of potential archeological and historic sites and review all future development and redevelopment to prevent any negative impact to these sites. Objective 1.10: Public Utilities. The City will maintain land development regulations and procedures which will require provision of land for utility facilities necessary to support development and will limit land development activities when such land for utility facilities is not available, as specified in the following policies: Policy 1.10.1: Policy 1.10.2: Proposed development shall be reviewed in relation to existing and projected utility systems and any land needs of these systems; such as, water and sewer plants; transmission corridors for electric and other utilities; easements for maintenance; and, other requirements. No development orders shall be issued unless it can be demonstrated that the land required by utility systems serving the City will be preserved. Objective 1.11: Public Schools. The City shall implement standards for the siting of public schools to increase the quality of life and local educational opportunities for its citizens.

New school sites should not adjoin a railroad or airport; and must not be adjacent to any noxious industrial uses or other property from which noise, vibration, odors, dust, toxic materials or other disturbances would have a negative impact. New schools should nurunuze detrimental impacts on residential neighborhoods, hospitals, nursing homes and similar uses through proper site location, configuration, design layout, access, parking, traffic controls and buffers. The size of new school facilities and land areas should satisfy the minimum standards established by the School Board of V olusia County, whenever possible. New school sites should be well drained and education buildings should be located away from floodplains, wetlands, and other environmentally sensitive lands. Education facilities should not have an adverse impact on historic or archeological resources. Public utilities, as well as police and fire protection, should be available concurrently with the construction of new school sites. New school sites should have frontage on or direct access to a collector or arterial road and should have suitable ingress and egress for pedestrians, bicycles, cars, buses, service vehicles, and emergency vehicles. To the extent possible, during pre-development program planning and school site selection activities, the City shall coordinate with the School Board of V olusia County to collocate public facilities, such as parks, libraries, and community centers, with schools. Portions of new schools, in accordance with the recommendations of the V olusia County Emergency Management Department, should be constructed to serve adequately as emergency shelters in case of natural disasters. Public elementary, middle, and high schools shall be considered essential infrastructure for the support of residential development. Revision 3-06 1-42 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT Objective 1.12: Evacuation.

INTRODUCTION 3 B. GOALS. OBJECTIVES. AND POLICIES . 4 SCD-2 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT A. INTRODUCTION The City of Edgewater desires to create a new land use category that will require new or enhanced transportation and land use planning strategies. including planning for alternative modes of travel. more compact mixed-use development. greater attention to jobs-housing balance. and higher densities of residential housing containing a mix of housing types and price points in order to address changing dynamics in the relationship between transportation. energy and the environment. This new category. Sustainable Communiw Development ("SCD") has been crafted with the data. inventory and analysis along with Goals. Objectives and Policies contained within. prepared specifically for Restoration. Restoration. located on the west side of Interstate 95. containing 5187 +/- acres has been designed to meet and exceed the design and sustainability criteria found within the principles of Smart Growth. Traditional Neighborhood Design. New Urbanism and Transit Oriented Design. The Sustainable Community Development designation is designed to facilitate the expansion of the urban area of the City through the integration of a number of different land uses. including office. commercial. residential. recreational. governmental and housing components so that all work seamlessly in a New Urbanist framework. The residential portion of SCD development will include housing units of various densities and types. at various price points and sizes. The housing inventory shall include. but not be limited to. single-family. multi-family and townhouse homes as well as encouraging some residential inventory to be located above retail or commercial uses where appropriate in the context of the overall planning for the SCD. The foundation on which Restoration will be built includes the innovative use of land planning and is consistent in the implementation of keystone principles of Smart Growth as set forth by Volusia CounW's Smart Growth Implementation Committee. These are to be the cornerstones of the Restoration SCD development in the City of Edgewater. They are as follows: Environment. Smart Growth emphasizes the early identification and preservation of environmentally important areas. open space. and agricultural areas. These are conceived of as a connected network of multi-purpose lands that form the community's "green infrastructure". Communities. Smart Growth emphasizes compact. walkable. mixed-use communities that provide alternative modes of travel together with greater jobs/housing balance and higher densities. It seeks to use land and infrastructure efficiently to reduce the costs of servicing new development and will provide for a range of housing choices. Such development emphasizes innovation in sustainable design in both the conservation of water resources and energy. Econo"!-y. Smart Growth communities place an emphasis on a mix of land uses including residential. office. commercial. recreational. and governmental that all work seamlessly in a New Urbanist framework with public investments that support the needs of sustainable economic development. SCD-3 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT Given the nature of SCD. it is a collaborative planning process between the developer. public agencies. non-governmental organizations and citizens that seeks to holistically address varying community needs in a flexible. yet systematic manner consistent with Goals. Objectives and Policies hereinafter set forth. Because this process is site specific and certain of the Objectives and Policies reflect the same. this SCD text amendment will apply only to the Restoration development. all other projects seeking similar outcomes are subject to the creation of an applicable project specific land use category through the comprehensive plan text/map amendment and comply with all other applicable regulatory processes. B. GOALS. OBJECTIVES. AND POLICIES GOAL 1: DEFINING SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. The City of Edgewater will seek to encourage innovative land use techniques. creative urban design. environmental protection. and the judicious use of sustainable development principles and practices. In order to facilitate this vision. the City will encourage new and innovative design and land planning efforts which recognize that density is important. but no more important than the mixing of uses. the development of strong population and employment centers. the connection of streets and the design of structures and spaces on a human scale. coupled with context sensitive solutions in planning for thoroughfares within walkable communities. All of this is accomplished within an overall framework of environmental protection and sustainable design. Objective 1.1: seD Effective Fiscal and Land Use Planning Technique. Edgewater will use the SCD as an effective fiscal and land use planning technique for managing growth. and ensuring that the built environment does not compromise the workings of the natural environment within the Restoration SCD. The Restoration SCD shall demonstrate its compatibility with the policies set forth below. Policy 1.1.1: Protection of lands formerly within Volusia County Natural Resource Management Area and Environmental Systems Corridor. It is the intent of Restoration SCD that development does not adversely impact natural resources. and that development standards for land use activities in these areas are more restrictive than other areas. The Restoration SCD is located in an area formerly within the Volusia County Natural Resources Management Area: therefore. appropriate environmental studies have been performed to guide development so that it is clustered in the more suitable locations while protecting important natural resources. In addition. the Restoration SCD is within an area formerly designated on the V olusia County FLU Map as Environmental System Corridor: those lands will be protected. to the extent necessary. so as not to degrade natural functions. SCD-4 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Policy 1.1.2: SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT The goal will be to maintain ecological integrity and eco-diversity to contribute to an interconnected system of integrated habitat in a post-development setting. SCD Implementation Specifics. The specific requirements for implementing the SCD shall be memorialized through (1) the processing and obtaining of a Chapter 380.06. Florida Statutes. DR! Development Order. (2) a Planned Unit Development approval including a Master Development Plan and a Regulating Book/Design Guidelines. and (3) a Site Mitigation and Management Plan ("SMMP") each of which are more particularly described below. GOAL 2: SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT: To create sutainable urban community development with mix of uses. Objective 2.1: Sustainabi/ity. To ensure that the SCD is truly sustainable. the following principles shall be implemented as comprehensive plan goals: Policy 2.1.1: Policy 2.1.2: Policy 2.1.3: Policy 2.1.4: Policy 2.1.5: Contain a mixture of uses within the SCD land use designations that provide for a balance of commercial. residential. recreational. open space (active and passive). resource protection. educational and other supporting uses. Preservation of open space and the management. restoration and preservation of important environmental systems. A design that is based on the principals of Smart Growth. Traditional Neighborhood Design ("TND") and New Urbanism. and Transit Oriented Design ("TaD") including walkability. compact development patterns. quality architecture and urban design. and a hierarchy of street systems to foster connectivity and pedestrian mobility as well as alternate modes of travel. including transit. Promote diversity and choice through a mixture of housing types and price points using higher density. compact development patterns and variety to limit sprawl. Provide opportunities throughout all phases of the development for residents to work in the community they live in. thereby reducing automobile dependence. SCD-5 CITY OF EDGEW A TER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT Policy 2.1.6: Utilization of selected sustainable development techniques that promote the reduction of greenhouse gases. Policy 2.1.7: Promote the efficient and effective use of infrastructure. Specific Goals. Objectives and Policies. as set forth below will govern the development of the Restoration SCD and. where appropriate, be elaborated on or further expanded in the DR! Development Order. the Site Mitigation and Management Plan. and the site specific land development regulations required herein for SCD designation and as set forth in the Planned Unit Development Regulating Book/Design Guidelines. GOAL 3: M!XED- USE F ACIL!T!ES: The Ci~ will within the SCD require a balanced mixture of uses in order to facilitate meeting the goal of sustainable community development. Objective 3.1:. Provide for Land Use Designations which Promote a Mixture of Uses. The Ci~ of Edgewater shall facilitate the development of an urban mixed-use communi~ that relates to and is an extension of the Ci~. through the adoption of land use designations through the Restoration SCD. Policy 3.1.1: Land Use Designations within the Restoration SCD. The following land use designations shall be required within the Restoration SCD. Specific uses. square footages and number of dwelling units will be memorialized in the DRI Development Order. However. the total number of units within Restoration shall not exceed 8.500 dwelling units and 3.300.000 square feet of non-residential uses. They are: a. Residential (URn). This designation supports a varie~ of housing types including single family. townhomes. coach homes. condominiums. multifamily rental apartments. appropriate civic. institutional and recreational uses along with accessory dwelling units associated with single-family residential units. .

Residential Density Range: 1.5 du/net acre to 36 du/ net acre SCD-6 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT b. Conservation Hamlet ("CH"). This designation is designed to be a compact urban settlement within an environmental setting. The CH will have the essential characteristics of a neighborhood. with limited commercial services. The CH will utilize a clustered development pattern so as to allow for a compact development footprint and a range of lot sizes including smaller compact lots. This is done in order to protect adjacent wetlands. habitat. and environmentally sensitive areas. Accordingly. CH areas are to be designed with a vigorous effort to utilize sustainable principles incorporating energy and water efficient design protocols and natural landscaping. The lands abutting the CH shall be protected as Resource Based Open Space consistent with the protocols identified by V olusia County as Environmental Core Overlay and Environmental System Corridors. Uses permitted within the CH include limited commercial. and/ or office. low and medium density attached and detached residential. appropriate civic. institutional and recreational uses along with accessory dwelling units associated with single- family residential units. .

Residential Density: 6.0 du/net acre to 36 du/net acre . Nonresidential Size: Approximately 963.547 SF . Residential Units: The number and placement in this area will be market driven but to the extent used will count against total allowable density. e. Transit-Ready Corridor ("TRC"). The TRC is specifically designed to accommodate residential densities and commercial intensities in a mixture of uses that will support public transit. This designation is to be located along the major arterial corridor of the Restoration SCD which is to be designed as a multiway boulevard that can eventually support streetcars. buses. pedestrians. bicyclists and autos. while creating a walk able urban environment. Permitted uses within the TRC include commercial. office. institutional. civic. residential and lodging. SCD-8 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT . Size: Approximately 85 Acres (not including Major Rights-of-Way. Lakes. Wetlands. Utility Easements. and protected Resource Based Open Space). Residential Units: Approximately 3.050 Density: 6.0 duj acre to 36 duj acre Non-residential Size: Minimum Size: 200.000 SF Maximum Size: 1.300.000 SF . . . f. Schools. In order to provide residents within the Restoration community access to schools. two school sites have been identified totaling 85 acres. g. Open Space. The purpose of the Open Space Designation is to protect and permanently preserve Activity and Resource Based Open Space areas throughout the Restoration SCD. These areas are further defined below. Policy 3.1.2: Within each of the land use designations identified above. it is recognized that to achieve the overall objective of SCD. some or all of the following additional uses are authorized in all of the uses. to-wit: conservation or mitigation areas andj or for stormwater management areas. Within the built environment. such ancillary uses that are supportive of the identified land use designations will also be allowed on a case-by-case basis. and will be reviewed as part of the building review process of the City. Policy 3.1.3: Development will be permitted within the SCD consistent with the land use designations set forth above. It is the intent of the City to maximize the attributes of the urban form by utilizing density in concert with the mixing of uses. the development of population and employment centers. the interconnection of streets and the design of structures and spaces within the SCD so as to support a variety of lifestyles and needs. All uses may be mixed horizontally on a site or may be contained within multiple use buildings such that differing uses exist vertically in one building or structure. Where residential product is located above commercial office or institutional uses and located in the MUTe. the WP or the TRC designations. it shall be treated as "commercial" development under the Land Development Regulations of the City. SCD-9 CITY OF EDGEW A TER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT GOAL 4: OPEN SPACE/NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND PROTECTION STANDARDS: It is the intent of the SCD that development does not adversely impact natural resources and that development standards for land use activities in these areas are more restrictive than other areas. Objective 4.1: Minimization of the Impacts of DeveloDment on the Natural Environment. The City desires to insure that development goes in the locations where it intrudes the least on the natural systems of the site. Notwithstanding the foregoing. the City recognizes some intrusion into the natural systems of the site is required for any development to take place. but the objective is to minimize the impact and to develop in such a manner that the built environment and the natural environment can coexist to the fullest extent practicable as a seamless undertaking. Policy 4.1.1: Requirement of Appropriate Environmental Studies. Because a portion of the Restoration SCD is located within an area formerly within the Volusia County Natural Resources Management Area. the City of Edgewater shall require that the appropriate environmental studies have been completed to guide development so that it is clustered in the more suitable locations on the site while protecting important natural resources. Policy 4.1.2: Protection of Environmental System Corridor Lands. A portion of the Restoration SCD is within an area formerly designated on the V olusia County FLU Map as Environmental System Corridor. substantially the City of Edgewater shall require through the DRI Development Order and subsequent review processes that all of those lands will be protected as not to degrade natural functions and to maintain ecological integrity and eco- diversity with the goal being to contribute to an interconnected system of integrated habitat. Policy 4.1.3: Designation of Land as Resource Based Open Space. The overall plan for designating which lands within the Restoration SCD shall be set aside as Resource Based Open Space shall be guided by the Natural Resources of Regional Significance decision support model of the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council. The majority of wetlands on site shall be protected. but impacts may occur when appropriate mitigation through preservation and restoration are provided to ensure that there is no overall net loss of wetland function or value. The determination of net loss of wetland function or value shall be undertaken using the approved methodology and protocols in use by the St. Johns River Water Management District. SCD-IO CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Policy 4.1.4: Policy 4.1.5: Policy 4.1.6: SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT Minimum Open Space Requirements. Because the SCD is to be developed within an overall plan of natural resource management that minimizes adverse impact to existing resources. the plan of development shall conserve large areas of relatively uninterrupted environmentally sensitive areas which will need to be managed as part of a system for habitat. wetlands. surface water protection and to provide recreation (both active and passive). Aesthetic and open space areas shall be provided for future residents. Accordingly. at least fifty percent (50%) of a SCD shall be in permanent protected open space consisting of a mix of Activity and Resource Based Open Space. The location of the Resource Based Open Space within Restoration has been determined and is shown on Map "H" attached to and made a part of the Development of Regional Impact Development Order to be approved concurrently with this Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Environmental Core Overlay and System Corridor Lands. All lands designated by V olusia County as Environmental Core Overlay (Map "A") and Environmental System Corridor shall be protected as integrated habitat and managed to protect its ecological function. Such lands shall be designated as within the Resource Based Open Space lands and protected as such. Urban development shall be clustered on the most appropriate locations within the overall land holdings of the developer and shall encompass innovative land development practices which promote sustainability within the built environment as well as conservation and conservation management within the overall holdings of the developer. It is recognized that the clustering of development in the urban form will likely result in the loss of some wetlands. but the developer will be encouraged to impact only those wetlands which have been degraded and which are determined through applicable regulatory review to be of less ecological significance to the overall integrity of the larger wetland regime. Resource Based Open Space/Environmental Resource Permit. For land development proposals subject to the St. Johns River Water Management District Environmental Resource Permit process. the secondary impact requirement (pursuant to Section 2.2.7 of the Management and Storage of Surface Waters Handbook) shall satisfy the intent of this policy. The protected Resource Based Open Space shall be designed as integrated habitat so to as enhance habitat protection and protect its ecological function as set forth herein. seD-II CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Policy 4.1.7: Policy 4.1.8: Policy 4.1.9: Policy 4.1.10: SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT Minimization of Wetland Impacts. It is recognized that the clustering of development in the urban form will result in the loss of wetlands. but the developer will be encouraged to impact only those wetlands which have been degraded and which are determined through applicable regulatory review to be of less significance to the overall integrity of the larger wetland regime. All wetland impacts will be offset by appropriate mitigation so as to ensure that there is no overall net loss in wetland function and value. Activity Based Open Space as hereinafter defined shall occur within the urbanized portion of the SCD development and may occur within the CH. Clustered Development Pattern. Urban development shall be clustered in the most appropriate locations within the overall land holdings of the site and shall encompass innovative land development practices which promote sustainability within the built environment as well as conservation and conservation management within the overall development. Protection of Open Space. Open Space shall include (1) Activity and (2) Resource based areas_within Sustainable Community Development. The Restoration SCD shall contain approximately 3.548 acres of combined Activity and Resource Based Open Space. a. Activity Based Open Space is open space that has generally been developed by the developer in order to provide areas for active and passive recreation in a post-development setting. As such. it includes areas such as walkways. bikeways. trails. picnic areas. playgrounds. tot-lots. neighborhood parks. plazas and sports. active parks. (baseball. tennis. swimming. soccer facilities. lakes. boardwalks. etc.). Every residence shall be located approximately within a quarter mile (five (5) minute) walk of at least one Activity Based Open Space area. c. Resource Based Open Space is intended to and will protect and enhance environmental systems. It may include in addition to areas set aside for ecological preservation. enhancement. conservation. nature trails. or conservation education programs. lakes (including lakes used for detention or retention of surface water). Protection Standards for Resource Based Open Space. Resource protection standards are to be provided for in the Restoration SCD by the preparation and adoption of a Site Mitigation and Management Plan ("SMMP''). which after review SCD-12 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT and approval as provided for in the DRI Development Order will be incorporated into and made a part of the same. The purpose of the SMMP is to provide for the imposition of a set of site mitigation and management protocols designed to ensure the long- term maintenance of the ecology and Resource Based Open Space of the site and the effective integration of the same into the built environment. The following principles shall form the basis of the SMMP. a. Resource Based Open Space in the SCD development shall. to the greatest extent feasible. be internally and externally connected so that free and unencumbered movement from one section of the Resource Based Open Space to another is encouraged. Areas set aside for Resource Based Open Space may be accessed by walkways. boardwalks. trails and bikeways where such access is consistent with the maintenance of the ecological resource and its habitat values. Resource Based Open Space may include facilities for environmental education and research. b. Resource Based Open Space areas shall be designat~ permanently protected. and maintained as undeveloped and/or restored or enhanced conservation areas that are accessible for passive recreational uses consistent with the protocols of the SMMP and permits issued by either the state or Federal government. Resource Based Open Space shall be selected and designed according to the following principles: (i) ECO Lands. Environmental System Corridors. wetlands. natural and historic resources shall receive top priority for inclusion as part of the designated Resource Based Open Space area. (ii) Resource Based Open Space shall primarily be designed as a contiguous area to eliminate or minimize fragmentation and promote the formation of linked networks with existing or potential Resource Based Open Space areas on adjacent properties. or other developments. (iii) Resource Based Open Space areas may include storm water management facilities. (iv) To the extent that roads are necessary for access to the Development Area of SCD seD-13 CITY OF EDGEW A TER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Policy 4.1.11: SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT development. they shall. to the fullest extent practicable. avoid wetlands and other ecological resources that comprise the Resource Based Open Space. (v) Resource Based Open Space shall be permanently protected by conservation easement or other legal means so that such areas are and remain undeveloped in perpetuity. Legal instruments providing for such protection shall run with the land and be set forth in the Covenants. Conditions and Restrictions ("CCRs") of the SCD and recorded in the Public Records of Volusia County. The CCRs shall be provided to each subsequent land owner within the SCD. (vi) Resource Based Open Space shall be managed according to the SMMP. SMMP Requirements and Minimum Standards. Resource protection standards are to be provided for in any SCD by the preparation and adoption of a Site Mitigation and Management Plan ("SMMP") the purpose of which will be to provide for the imposition of a set of site mitigation and management protocols designed to ensure the long-term maintenance of the ecology of the Resource Based Open Space of the site and the effective integration of the same into the built environment. Accordingly. the SMMP shall address. the following matters: (1) trees and tree removal. (2) wetlands. (3) habitat of protected species. (4) flood hazard management. (5) performance standards for development. (6) potable water and well field protection. (6) erosion control. (1) post-development land management protocols to include water conservation and landscape standards incorporating drought tolerant and native vegetation. and (8) identification of ownership and management responsibilities. This list is intended to be illustrative. but not necessarily exhaustive. it being the intention of the City and the developer seeking SCD designation to prepare an SMMP that is site specific and addresses all issues essential to the maintenance of the ecological systems within the Resource Based Open Space. SCD-14 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT The SMMP shall conform to the Minimum Standard for Environmental Protection as set forth in Rule 91-5.013. F.A.e. To v the extent a Federal and/or State agency requires permits to impact any ecological resource within a SCD District (i.e.. the St:- Johns River Water Management District pursuant to Chapter 403. Florida Statutes. and the implementing regulation and rules of the District found at 40C-4001 and 40C-42.011 et. seq. F.A.e.. and/or the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers pursuant to 33 U.S.e. Section 1344 et. seq. and 16 U.S.e. Sections 1536 and 1539 et. seq.). The City will defer to the requirements of the same. but the City will reserve the right to review such regulatory outcomes and determine whether or not such outcomes are substantially consistent with the guidelines enumerated here. The SMMP shall be approved by the City consistent with the requirements of the Development of Regional Impact Development Order and the SMMP shall be incorporated into the same by reference and made a part thereof through a NOPe. Policy 4.1.12: Ownership of Activity or Resource Based Open Space. Ownership of either Activity or Resource Based Open Space shall be by one or a combination of the following: homeowners association. established land trust. a qualified conservation organization. Chapter 190. Florida Statutes. Community Development District or other public agency where Resource Based Open Space is subject to a conservation easement held by the city. county. state or Federal government or a qualified conservation organization then the developer. or its assignee. may continue to hold underlying fee title to the identified Resource Based Open Space GOAL 5: COMMUNITY DESIGN: PRINCIPLES OF TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD DESIGN AND NEW URBANISM: The City shall establish SCD Policies which shall be a series of design principles that are consistent with Traditional Neighborhood Design and New Urbanism. These Policies shall be followed in order to utilize SCD as a land use. These Policies are set forth below and will be further memorialized and detailed in a Regulating Book/Design Guidelines to be adopted by the City consistent with SCD development. Objective 5.1: Design Attributes. The objective of the City is to define with particularity the essential design attributes that must be a part of development within the Restoration SCD. Policy 5.1.1: Walkability. To ensure that the Restoration SCD is pedestrian friendly the following design principles will be incorporated in the Regulating Book/Design Guidelines. SCD-IS CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Policy 5.1.2: SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT a. At build out. shopping. services. work opportunities and recreational facilities will be within a ten (10) minute walk of the majority of all homes or easily accessed by transit except those in the CH. b. Streets are to be pedestrian friendly. Buildings are to be built close to streets: with street-facing facades and/or porches. windows and doors. Streets are to be tree-lined and provide for on-street parking. Parking lots and parking structures are to be hidden to the fullest extent practicable. c. Street and pedestrian-way lighting is to be designed to enhance safety and be consistent with "dark sky" objectives to the maximum extent practicable. d. Brick pavers. roundabouts. traffic circles and other traffic calming techniques are to be employed in key locations to enhance aesthetics. improve pedestrian access. reduce vehicle speeds and promote safety within all travel modes. e. Signs identifying streets. speed limits. and neighborhoods shall be designed to reflect neighborhood character. f. Sidewalks are to be a minimum of five (5) feet in width to accommodate pedestrian activity. Connectivity. To ensure the efficient movement of people through the Restoration development. the following design principles shall be incorporated in the Regulating Book/Design Guidelines. a. The street system is to be fully integrated so as to provide a complete well-connected grid based street system. Because the community will develop over a period of years. the street system will be designed to facilitate the expansion of the same as the community grows. b. The street system will be designed in a hierarchy that provides for alternative cross sections to facilitate the development of narrow neighborhood streets. boulevards. and alleys. Streets are to be shaded by trees and interconnected both internally and externally to disperse traffic efficiently. Streets will allow for on-street parking as provided in the Regulating Book/Design Guidelines. SCD-16 CITY OF EDGEW A TER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT c. The arrangement and design of streets shall promote a pleasant. pedestrian and bicycle-friendly environment with an emphasis on convenient access to surrounding neighborhoods and community amenities. Sustainable Community Development road standards may apply to County or State-owned maintained roads subject to County or State approval as appropriate. GOAL 6: AFFORDABLE HOUSING: The City desires that within SCD developments there is an adequate supply of affordable housing. Objective 6.1: Promote Diversity and Choice in Housing Options. The objective is a robust mix of different types and kinds of housing. and particularly housing targeted to those whose Average Median Income ("AMI") limits their housing choices. To ensure. to the fullest extent possible. that the Restoration SCD is developed as a socially and economically diverse community a wide range of housing types. and a various price points shall be made available. Policy 6.1.1: Provide Affordable Housing. Within the Restoration SCD. ten percent (10%) of all residential units will qualify as "affordable housing." The developer will work with the City to determine the appropriate mix of household incomes to be served within the classification of "affordable housing" and the methodology to be employed to serve those households. GOAL 7: JOBS/HOUSING BALANCE: The City desires to reduce dependence on automobile travel and. therefore. vehicle miles traveled ("VMT"). Accordingly. SCD will be required to develop and implement a program designed to ensure an adequate number of jobs per residential dwelling unit exists in Restoration at build-out. Objective 7.1: The Reduction of VMT through a fobs to Housing Balance. The objective is to (1) reduce VMT and (2) establish and measure over time the jobs/housing balance to provide a framework for determining the internal capture of trips within Restoration and to ensure a built community that to the fullest extent possible provides for alternative modes of transportation to and from the work and recreation places within Restoration. Policy 7.1.1: Build Out Jobs/Housing Balance. At buildout of the Restoration SCD. a jobs-to-housing balance of 0.65 jobs per residential unit shall be achieved. GOAL 8: REDUCTION IN GREENHOUSE GASES: By utilizing the principles of Smart Growth. Traditional Neighborhood Design. Transit-Oriented Design and New Urbanism. the City seeks to reduce reliance on the automobile: and therefore. reduce the production of greenhouse gases. Additionally. the City desires to moderate the demand for energy utilized to heat and cool houses and commercial structures built in Restoration. not only to reduce the SeD-I? CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT production of greenhouse gases. but to conserve available energy resources. In the furtherance of this goal. the Restoration SCD development will adhere to the following Policies. Objective 8.1: Reduce VMT through the Utilization of Sound Planning Paradigms. The objective of using the planning paradigms noted in the Goal is to create a framework that gives the City the best possible opportunity to reduce VMT. create a place where persons can live. work and play without undue reliance on the automobile. Additionally. the City desires to reduce the necessity to travel long distances off-site. while also enjoying a living environment that is "green". Policy 8.1.1: Policy 8.1.2: Compact Development Pattern. Through the adoption of the Restoration Regulating Book/Design Guidelines. compact development patterns shall be required. Land is to be used efficiently. streets are to be narrow. buildings are clustered together and yard space is to be concentrated where it is most usable. Avoid Large Single Uses of Land and Provide for a Mixture of Land Uses. The Restoration Regulating Book/Design Guidelines shall provide for and require a mixture of uses to include residential. commercial. office. public and open space. This mixture of uses shall occur both vertically and horizontally. For example. commercial and retail uses may be augmented with residential uses above and are encouraged to do so. With regard to horizontal mixing. the developer is encouraged to create a mixture of residential uses in close proximity to commercial and/or retail uses. Good planning will require appropriate cost stratification of certain types of housing to ensure market acceptance. but the overall goal is a fully integrated community with housing at various price points developed throughout. The SCD Total Land Area is 5.187 acres. Of that amount. 3.548 acres have been designated as "open space." both Activity Based and Resource Based. The following maximum and minimum calculations are based on the development portion or "build envelope" of the Restoration SCD. The build envelope consists of approximately 1.655 acres. To ensure a variety of uses within the build envelope. the Restoration development will be limited to the following: a. Residential - the maximum amount of residential. in the build envelope. will be sixty-six percent (66%) of the site while the minimum amount of residential in the build envelope will be fifty percent (50%). seD-I8 CITY OF EDGEW A TER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT b. Commercial- the maximum amount of commercial use (retail. service) in the build envelope will be seventeen percent (17%) while the minimum amount of commercial use in the build envelope will be five percent (5%). c. Office - the maximum amount of office use in the build envelope will be seventeen percent (17%). while the minimum amount of office use in the build envelope will be five percent (5%). d. Public - the minimum amount of public use in the build envelope will be one and one-half percent (1.5%). e. Recreation and Open 50ace - the minimum amount of Activity Based use in the build envelope will be one percent (1 %) and the minimum amount of resource based recreation and open space will be fifty percent (50%) of the total site. Importantly. when measured against the total land area of Restoration. approximately sixty-eight percent (68%) of the total land area of the Restoration SCD will be lands outside of the build envelope. For calculating purposes. the "build envelope" of the Restoration SCD is the total land area less all Resource Based open space which by definition includes the Conservation Area shown on the Future Land Use Map. The build envelope of the Restoration SCD is to be comprised of the following use groups: (1) Residential. (2) Commercial. and (3) Office. No single-use group may exceed eighty percent (80%) of the build envelope and a minimum of ten percent (10%) of the build envelope must be devoted to Non- Residential Use. Policy 8.1.3: Policy 8.1.4: Encourage Walkable. Bikeable Community Design. The Restoration SCD shall incorporate a pedestrian and bike mobility system to provide for the efficient and pleasurable movement of pedestrian and cyclists throughout the development. This system shall include a hierarchy of pedestrian and bicycling facilities including sidewalks (at least five (5) feet wide). Bike Lanes (four (4) feet wide limited to major arterials). multi-purpose recreational trails (at least ten (10) feet wide) and unimproved nature trails and boardwalks connecting residential areas with work. shopping. entertainment and open space/recreational opportunities. Encourage Transit-Oriented Development. The Restoration SCD shall include the development of a Transit Corridor Plan. The intent of such plan is to layout the strategy for the design. SCD-19 CITY OF EDGEW A TER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Policy 8.1.5: SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT development and operation of an electric transit system to operate within the TRC. Densities within the Mixed-Use Town Center and Transit Ready Corridor shall be high enough to support the utilization and economic viability of the transit system. but it is recognized that some form of supplemental support of the transit system may be required. To assist in the economic viability of the transit system. the Regulating Book/Design Guidelines shall require that development at the site plan level be transit friendly to include reduced setbacks. pedestrian connections between buildings. parking in the rear of buildings. and the provision for transit shelters. In addition. the developer shall work with the City of Edgewater and V olusia County Public Transit System to ensure external connections are provided between Restoration. the City of Edgewater and beyond. The design of roadways will support and facilitate the optimum and safe operation of the transit. Utilization of the Multi-Way Boulevard. In order to effectively plan for and reduce the costs involved to implement transit within the Restoration SCD. the primary transportation corridor within the community (Williamson Boulevard) shall be designed as a multi-way transit ready boulevard. GOAL 9: SCHOOLS: The City and the Volusia County School Board seek to ensure that opportunities for residents of the City and Restoration will have adequate school facilities to serve the City and Restoration. Objective 9.1: School Concurrency. Residential development within the Restoration SCD shall be planned to ensure sufficient capacity within the public school system to meet the population needs. . Policy 9.1.1: Capacity Enhancement Agreement. The applications for the construction of residential housing product within the Restoration SCD shall be coordinated with the Volusia County School District to determine if there will be sufficient student capacity to meet the requirements of the new development pursuant to standards and procedures as more fully set forth in the Interlocal Agreement for School Planning. Public School Facilities Element. and Section 206 of the Volusia County Charter. To the extent that existing capacity does not exist. the developer and School Board shall enter into a Capacity Enhancement Agreement ("CEA") prior to the execution of the DRI Development Order to ensure that public schools can be timely planned and constructed to serve the student population. SCD-20 CITY OF EDGEW A TER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT a. As part of any school CEA. the school district and developer/applicant may designate appropriate school sites to be included in the proposed master plan of the SCD upon submission for ADA review. Compliance with the CEA shall be a condition of the DRI Development Order. b. Each designated school site should attempt to co-locate with park facilities and other public open space. as well as civic facilities. GOAL 10: RESOURCE EFFICIENT DESIGN AND OPERATION: The City desires to extend the benefits of SCD development to include adherence to a suite of "green" building and design initiatives to the end that the structures (both residential and commercial) will be designed. constructed and occupied using a variety of applicable green design and building protocols as hereinafter set forth. Objective 10.1: The Utilization of Defined Benchmarks and Metrics to Measure Success. Sustainable development practices are understood to include a variety of practices and protocols that are designed to allow development that promotes "resource efficiency" across a broad spectrum of resources. The primary objective of the City in promoting SCD is to develop a rational and robust set of green infrastructure protocols that assure that development within a SCD uses a whole systems approach to the design. development. construction and operation of the SCD and to do so with defined benchmarks and metrics that can be used to measure success. Policy 10.1.1: Utilization of Innovative Sustainable Programs. The SCD will explore and make a vigorous effort to utilize a number of innovative sustainable development techniques and to measure the success of each to determine their individual and collective impact on conserving energy and water resources. internalizing trip capture and providing appropriate landscapes and biodiversity. The protocols to be used shall include the following: a. Site Design and Land Use. Measure density of units and jobs per unit to create required synergies to improve prospects for a walkable. transit-ready community. b. Landscape and Biodiversity. Create balanced. multi- species living environments within the context of East Central Florida using native and other appropriate vegetation in the landscape palette with the goal of reducing water usage and treating groundwater. SCD-21 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT Landscaping within the built environment should be substantially designed. installed and managed in accordance with the University of Florida Yards and Neighborhoods Recognition Checklist (January 2007 Version). c. Transportation. Creating multi-model synergies that facilitate a reduction in the use of the automobile. promotes pedestrian and bicycle utilization and the use of transit when available. d. Energy. Design the built environment so it reduces the use of energy by incorporating green development practices in building design. construction and operation. Certification programs certifying compliance with this protocol that would satisfy the same are the United States Green Building Coalition Commercial Standard certification for commercial structures and for residential structures. USGBC LEED for Homes or FGBC Green Home Designation Standard. e. Water. Design the water management system so that as nearly as possible. it incorporates total water balance into the design. construction and operation of the development. The benchmarks and metrics by which the City and the developer will measure "sustainability" will be set forth and detailed in the DRI Development Order that is to accompany the adoption of this text amendment. It is recognized that the standards and protocols which define sustain ability are constantly evolving such that what is determined to be acceptable today may be unacceptable tomorrow. As new programs or technologies emerge that may be more supportive of the goals that are both explicit and implicit in the use of the SCD. the City and/or developer may encourage the adoption of the same and seek to incorporate them into the DR! Development Order. Accordingly. "adaptive management" will be employed over the life of the SCD so as to ensure that the most current programs. policies and protocols are used throughout the life of the Restoration SeD certifications. which promote sustainability. GOAL 11: CONFORMANCE WITH THE GOALS. OBJECTIVES. POliCIES: The City will ensure that development within the SCD area is in conformance with the goals. objectives and policies. contained herein. through the execution of the DRI Development Order and the adoption of Restoration Regulating Book/Design Guidelines. Objective 11.1: The objective of the City is to make sure that the broadly-stated goals. objectives and policies described in this SCD text amendment are refined and set forth in more detail in the DRI Development Order so as to ensure to the fullest extent practicable that the SCD will be developed and managed consistent with this text amendment. SCD-22 CITY OF EDGEW A TER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Policy 11.1.1: SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT Creation of a SCD /Planned Unit Development. The City shall allow development of the SCD Area. or any sub-district. the Restoration Sustainable Community Development/Planned Unit Development ("SCD /PUD'') zoning category. consistent with the Restoration DR} and SCD Future Land Use Category. This will require the preparation. submission and approval of a Zoning/Land Use Plan and a SCD/PUD Regulating Book/Design Guidelines prior to the initiation of construction within the SCD Area. or any sub-districts. or portion thereo( Map "H." as approved and appended to a DR} Development Order. may serve as the Zoning/Land Use Plan. The SCD/PUD Regulating Book/Design Guidelines shall contain planning and urban design standards that govern development within the SCD/PUD. Where the SCD/PUD Regulating Book/Design Guidelines conflict with City Land Development Regulations. the SCD /PUD Regulating Book/Design Guidelines shall control. All properties to be developed will undergo the SCD /PUD Rezoning process. which involves two steps: Step 1: Zoning/Land Use Plan approval provides zoning approval on the site. Step 2: Development Plan approval may occur in a staged process and as increments of the overall Land Use Plan are submitted for approval. A Development Plan may be approved by the City Council after review by the Planning and Zoning Board. Nothing herein shall preclude the developer from making application to the City to amend or modify a previously adopted Zoning/Land Use Plan as and when the developer determines such an application is appropriate. The Regulating Book/Design Guidelines will address the following areas: . Principles of the Plan Environmental/Open Space Development Standards Streets. Roadway and Utility Standards Mixed-Use Town Center Development Standards Work Place Development Standards Residential Development Standards Conservation Hamlet Development Standards Infrastructure and Engineering Development Standards Transit Development Standards General Landscaping Standards Lighting Standards Signage Standards . . . . . . . . . . . SCD-23 CITY OF EDGEW A TER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Policy 11.1.2: Policy 11.1.3: SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT . Definitions Processing of Development Approvals. Because the Restoration SCD requires for its implementation the integration of a number of different land uses including office. commercial. retail. residential. recreational. institutional (including governmental) all of which are to be arranged within the built environment with a vigorous effort to utilize sustainable principles. it is recognized that modifications to the existing Land Development Regulations of the City are necessary and desirable to accommodate and allow for the implementation of the Restoration SCD. It is contemplated that the Restoration SCD will accomplish the required modifications to the City Land Development Code through the review and approval by the City of the Regulating Book/Design guidelines using the PUD zoning process to accomplish the same. The property within the SCD /PUD district shall be rezoned prior to commencement of development. The rezoning shall include a Zoning/Land Use Plan with a description of how the overall site plan meets the Policy Guidelines set forth herein. The Zoning/Land Use Plan and the accompanying Regulating Book/Design Guidelines shall define with particularity how each of the development components of the SCD /PUD development will be implemented. The Zoning/Land Use Plan shall set forth the capacity for development inside the areas designated as SCD /PUD on a site specific basis and in conformity with the limitations described herein. In addition to the maximum base amount of any specific land use category described herein. development capacity may be altered but may not exceed that which is set forth herein. Coordination on Transportation Improvements. Where road improvements required by the adoption of the SCD designation are not provided for in the DRI Development Order contemplated by this designation. then the City of Edgewater may either amend its Comprehensive Land Use Plan and either or both of their Transportation and Capital Improvement Elements to incorporate the road improvements not provided for in the DR! Development Order or it shall enter into a Developers Agreement with the sponsoring developer for the purpose of assuring the Department of Community Affairs that the required road improvements are fully funded for inclusion in the Capital Improvement Element of the City.

The land use and resulting trip generation for the SCD land use shall not exceed 114.828 daily two-way trips at build-out as calculated by the then current Institute of Transportation Engineers ("ITE'') Trip Generation Manual. Funding Other Public Facilities. To ensure the provision of adequate public facilities that are fiscally neutral and avoid inequitable burdens on parties outside the SCD. public infrastructure for developments within the SCD may be funded and maintained by a Community Development District ("CDD") formed in accordance with Chapter 190. Florida Statutes. or such other financial mechanisms that are not dependent upon a budgetary allocation of the City of Edgewater. GOAL 12: FLOOD PLAIN MANAGEMENT: The City recognizes that adjustments to its Land Development Regulations are necessary to accommodate the Restoration SCD. Those adjustments will be undertaken consistent with the Policies set forth below. Objective 12.1: The objective is to create a series of Policies that are consistent with established state and Federal law and protocols to ensure the proper administration of floodplain development and management in a post-development setting. Policy 12.1.1: Policy 12.1.2: Policy 12.1.3: Floodplain Management. The City shall develop and maintain a floodplain management ordinance. which includes the development standards required for participation in the Federal Emergency Management Agency ("FEMA") National Flood Insurance Program. The ordinance shall require that any new construction or substantial improvement of any existing structure have the lowest finished floor elevated to at least one (1) foot above the established 100-year flood elevation. In areas that are designated by FEMA as Zone "A" (no elevation established). a flood study. as prepared by a qualified State of Florida Licensed Professional Engineer will be required to establish the existing Base Flood elevation(s). Such flood studies shall be submitted to FEMA to establish the base flood elevation(s). After establishment of the FEMA Base Flood elevation(s). all new projects must protect the natural functions of the floodplains in SCD-25 CITY OF EDGEW A TER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT the City and adjacent jurisdictions. with the understanding that new major projects occurring within the Sustainable Community Development ("SCD") Future Land Use Designation area may provide for innovative floodplain protections and provision of compensating storage (based on the open space set-aside). and may be used to redefine the floodplain limits subject to the SCD /PUD Regulating Book/Design Guidelines which must be prepared. submitted and approved by the City for all SCD developments. The SCD/PUD Regulating Book/Design Guidelines shall include requirements that the proposed design demonstrates that there are no adverse flood impacts to offsite properties.
