INTRODUCTION The following objections, recommendations and comments are based upon the Department's review of the City of Cape Canaveral's proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment (DCA No. 10- I ER) pursuant to Section 163.3184, Florida Statutes (F. S.). Objections relate to specific requirements of relevant portions of Chapter 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), and Chapter 163, Part II, F.S. Each objection includes a recommendation of one approach that might be taken to address the cited objection. Other approaches may be more suitable in specific situations. Some of these objections may have been raised initially by one of the other external review agencies. If there should be a difference between the Department's objection and an external agency's advisory objection or comment, the Department's objection will take precedence. The City should address each of these objections when the amendment is resubmitted for the Department's compliance review. Objections which are not addressed may result in a determination that the amendment is "not in compliance". The Department may have raised an objection regarding missing data and analyses, or other items which the City might consider not to be applicable to its amendment. If such is the case, a statement justifying the objection's non - applicability pursuant to Rule 9J-5.002(2), F.A.C., must be submitted. The Department will make a determination as to the non -applicability of the requirement. If the justification is sufficient, the objection will be considered to have been addressed. The comments which follow the objections and recommendations are advisory in nature. Comments will not form a basis for determination of non-compliance. They are included to reference particular items or concerns raised by our reviewers. The comments can be substantive, relating to planning principles, methodology or logic, as well as editorial in nature dealing with grammar, organization, mapping and reader comprehension. Appended to the back of the Department's report are the comment letters from the other state review agencies. These comments are advisory to the Department and may not form a basis for Departmental objections unless they appear under the "Objections" heading in this report. r r 0, o OBJECTIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND COMMENTS CAPE CANAVERAL (DCA No. 10-1ER) PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT I. Consistency with Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes (F.S.), and Rule 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.) The Department has completed its review of the proposed amendment to the City of Cape L Canaveral's Comprehensive Plan (DCA No. 10-1 ER). The Department has the following objections and comment. 1. Objection: Lack of Long Range Planning Timeframe for Proposed Map Series With the EAR -based amendment, the City has proposed to adopt a 5 -year short term horizon of 2015 and a 10 -year long term horizon of 2020. However, the amendment does not adopt a long range planning horizon for the Future Land Use and Future Transportation Maps. [Sections 163.3177(2),(5)(a), (6)(a), and 0), (8) and (10), 187.201(15)(b)1., and 5., 187.201(19)(b)3., F.S:; Rules 9J-5.005(2),(4), and (5), F.A.C.] Recommendation: Revise the Comprehensive Plan to adopt a consistent long-term planning horizon pursuant to the requirements of Section 163.3177(5)(a), F.S. Revise the Future Land Use and Future Transportation Maps to be internally consistent and to be consistent with and supported by the data and analyses. 2. Objection: Energy Conservation and Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions. The City has proposed revisions to the Conservation, Transportation and Future Land Use Elements to promote energy efficient land use patterns and to adopt strategies for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, the promotion of energy conservation and the provision for energy efficient transportation options. However, the Future Land Use Map has not been revised to identify and depict energy conservation areas pursuant to the requirements of Section 163.3177(6)(d)6., F.S. [Sections 163.3177(2),(6)(a), and (d), (8) and (10), 187.201(11)(b)l., 187.201(15)(b)l., and 7., 187.201(17)(b)l., 187.201(25)(b)l., 5. and 7., F.S.; Rules 9J-5.005(2), and (5), 9J-5.006(4), and 9J-5.013(2)(b)l., F.A.C.] F o n Recommendation: Revise the Future Land Use Map to identify and depict energy conservation areas. Support the amendment with data and analysis. For additional assistance, visit the Department's webpage: www.dca.state.fl.us/fdcp/dcp/EnergyGHG/index.cfm#RD. 3.Objection: Lack of Meaningful and Predictable Policies to Guide Development: Future Land Use Element (FLUE) Policy LU -1.8, Coastal Management Element Policy CM -3.3 and Conservation Element Policies C-3.3 and C-4.6 The following policies are not meaningful and predictable and do not establish adequate guidelines for development through the provision of measurable standards for development and adequate standards for the protection of environmentally sensitive areas: • New FLUE Policy LU -1.8.1 (Mixed Use) does not define the percentage distribution for the mix of allowable uses or other guidelines to implement mixed use controls consistent with the requirements of Rule 9J -5.006(4)(c), F.A.C. Further, the policy does not include density and intensity standards for the mixed use designation pursuant to the requirements of Section 163.3177(6)(a), F.S.; New Coastal Management Element Policy CM -3.3 and Conservation Element Policy C- 3.3 propose to adopt a recommendation from the adopted EAR addressing shoreline protection, "to adopt regulations... to enhance current standards to manage shoreline erosion". Policy CM -3.3 also defers to the land development regulations (LDRs) for enhancement of "current standards" without identifying the standards or the enhancements. Policy C-3.3 "promotes protection of environmentally sensitive areas, beach preservation and tree protection" without providing any further guidance. The policies do not address the requirements of Section 163.3178(2)(e), F.S., and Rule 9J - 5.012(3)(b)1., and (c)2., F.A.C., for environmental protection and are not meaningful and predictable; The Conservation Element does not include specific wetland protection. For example, the only policy addressing wetlands, Policy C-4.6 defers to the LDRs for "upland buffering" of the " shoreside wetland" without establishing any specific criteria to ensure wetland protection and conservation of wetlands and to direct incompatible uses away from wetlands consistent with Rule 9J-5.013(3), F.A.C. The amendment does not offer guidance for the development of land uses consistent with the requirements of Rule 9J- 5.005(6), F.A.C., for plan implementation. [Sections 163.3177(2), (6)(a), (d) and (g), (8) and (10), 163.3178(2)(e), 187.201(15)(b)1., and 3., and 187.201(25)(b)I., and 7., F.S.; Rules 9J-5.005(2), (5) and (6), 9J -5.006(3)(c)7., and (4)(c), and 9J -5.012(3)(b) and (c), and 9J-5.013(3)(b)l., and (c)2., F.A.C.] Recommendation: Revise the amendment to address the lack of meaningful and predictable policies. Revise the amendment based upon data and analyses to adopt guidance for the development of land uses consistent with Rule 9J-5.005(6), F.A.C. Revise: r o 0 • New FLUE Policy LU -1.8.1 (Mixed Use) to adopt the percentage distribution of mix of allowable uses or adopt other guidelines to implement mixed use controls consistent with the requirements of Rule 9J -5.006(4)(c), F.A.C. Further, adopt density and intensity standards for the mixed use designation pursuant to the requirements of Section 163.3177(6)(a), F.S., and Rule 9J -5.006(3)(c)7., F.A.C. Consider adoption of a minimum percentage for the uses to ensure a true mixed use character. • New Coastal Management Element Policy CM -3.3 and Conservation Element Policy C- 3.3 to adopt criteria for shoreline protection. Support the amendments with data and analyses demonstrating consistency with Section 163.3178(2)(e), F.S., and Rule 9J- 5.012(3)(c)l., and 2., F.A.C.; • Revise the Conservation Element to adopt specific wetland protection for the City of Cape Canaveral and to ensure that incompatible uses will be directed away from wetlands consistent with Rule 9J-5.013(3), F.A.C. 4. Transportation: Level of Service Standards (LOS). The Transportation Element does not adopt LOS standards for public transit consistent with Rule 9J -5.019(4)(c)1., F.A.C. Further, Policy T-1.11, because it does not reference the appropriate edition of the FDOT updated LOS standards, does not establish the LOS standards for roadways and is, therefore, not meaningful and predictable. For consistency, the reference in Policy T-1.11 to the "Traffic Circulation Element" should be revised to reference the "Transportation Element". [Sections 163.3177(2), (6)0), (8) and (10), 187.201(15)(b)1., 5. And 6., I87.201(19)(b)3., 9., and 13., 187.201(25)(b)1., 3., 5., and 7.; F.S.; Rules 9J-5.005(2), (3) and (5), 9J -5.006(2)(a), (3)(b)1 and (3)(c)3., 9J -5.016(3)(c)4., and 9J-5.019 (4)(c)l., F.A.C.] Recommendation: Revise the Transportation Element to adopt the appropriate transportation LOS standards for state roadways (FDOT's 2009 Generalized LOS Tables) and to adopt LOS standards for public transit consistent with Rule 9J -5.019(4)(c)1., F.A.C. Revise Policy T-1.11 to reference the "Transportation Element" instead of the "Traffic Circulation Element". 5. Objection: Water Supply Planning The City has not yet adopted a water supply facilities work plan. The City's water supply facilities work plan was due to be adopted by August 7, 2007. Therefore, the City has not addressed the requirements for adoption of a water supply facilities work plan pursuant to Section 163.3177(6)(a), (c) and (d), F.S. Furthermore, the City's comprehensive plan does not implement water supply concurrency requirements consistent with Section 163.3180(2)(a), F.S. Although a water supply facilities work plan was not included with the amendment, the City has proposed some text changes addressing water supply planning. New Infrastructure Element Objective PW -3 and its policies address coordination with the St. Johns River Water Management District's (SJRWMD) regional water supply plan. However, the amendment does not specifically address the requirement for the City to participate in the updates to the District's f r n n plan and in other water supply initiatives that affect the City. The amendment does not include the requirement for the City to update its work plan within 18 months of an update to the SJRWMD's regional water supply plan that affects the City. The revision to Intergovernmental Coordination Element Policy IG -1.2.2 addressing water supply concurrency does not include associated water facilities. [Section 163.3177(2), (4)(a), and (6)(a), (c), and (d), (8), and (10), 163.3180(2)(a), 187.201(7)(b) 3., 5., 11., and 13., and 187.201(25)(b)5., F.S.; Rules 9J -5.005(2)(a), and (5), 9J -5.006(3)(b)1., 9J -5.011(2)(b)2., and (c)l., 9J-5.015(3)(b)l., and 3., and (c)l., and 9J-5.016(4), F.A.C] Recommendation: Propose and adopt the 10 -Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan for the City of Cape Canaveral pursuant to Section 163.3177(6)(a), (c). and (d), F.S. In the water supply plan, address coordination with the SJRWMD regional water supply plan. Revise the Intergovernmental Coordination and Infrastructure Elements as follows: • Policy IG -1.2.2. The City... shall consult with the City of Cocoa prior to issuing a building permit to ensure adequate water supplies and notable water facilities will be available to serve new development by the date of issuance of a certificate of occupancy. • Policy PW -3.1. The City will participate in updates to SJRWMD's water supply assessment, regional water supply planand other water supply development related initiatives facilitated by SJRWMD that affect the City. • Policy PW -3.3. The City's work plan will be updated every five years, within 18 months of an adopted update to SJRWMD's regional water supply plan that affects the City. Comment 1. Transportation Policy T-1.2. To provide clarity, the policy should be revised to discuss "demand" rather than "volume" and "maximum service volume at the adopted LOS standard" instead of "capacity". H. Consistency with the State Comprehensive Plan The proposed City of Cape Canaveral 10- 1 ER amendment is not consistent with and does not further the goals and policies of the State Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 187, F.S. Recommendation: Revise the plan amendment to be consistent with the State Comprehensive Plan as recommended for the objections identified in this report. r Cape Canaveral's Response to DCA's Objections, Recommendations, and Comments Report Amendment No. 10-1 ER Obiection #1: Lack of Long Range Planning Timeframe for Proposed Map Series. Recommendations: Revise the Camp Plan to adopt a consistent long-term planning horizon. Revise the Future Land Use and Future Transportation Maps to depict a 10 year planning timeframe of 2020. City Response: Goal 1 of the Future Land Use Element has been amended to adopt a consistent long-term planning horizon of 10 years, 2020. The maps have been amended to note a planning horizon of 2020 (see attached maps). Goal 1 - The overall goal for the City of Cape Canaveral for future land use is to ensure the proper relationship among residential, commercial, industrial, recreational and other activities in order to maximize the efficient use of land, accessibility to the circulation system and general compatibility among the land uses. The City adopts a FM long-term erm planning horizon of ten years. 2020. I, Obiection #2: Energy Conservation Areas not depicted on Future Land Use Map. Recommendation: Revise the Future Land Use Map to identify and depict energy conservation areas. City Response: The Future Land Use Map has been revised to identify and depict energy conservation areas. The City has identified areas with a conservation land use designation, City and County parks, and the new multi -use trail along Ridgewood Av. as energy conservation areas (see attached map). Objection #3: Lack of Meaningful and Predictable Policies to Guide Development. • New FLUE Policy LU -1.8.1 does not define the percentage distribution of the mix of allowable uses nor does it include density and intensity standards. • New Coastal Management Element Policy CM -3.3 and Conservation Element Policy C-3.3 address protection of the shoreline and environmentally sensitive areas without identifying standards or further guidance. The Conservation Element does not include specific wetland protection. 1 �• f .. .1 i _ . - n' �., t_ .. t � � _ _ .. I . �. } 1 1. ..1 i;,i .. - .. �.. ... .. .. ... � .. , Recommendations: Revise the amendment to address the lack of meaningful and predictable policies. • New FLUE Policy LU -1.8.1 — adopt a percentage distribution of the mix of allowable uses and adopt density and intensity standards for the mixed use designation. • New Coastal Management Element Policy CM -3.3 and Conservation Element Policy C-3.3 — adopt criteria for shoreline protection and support amendments with data and analysis. • Conservation Element — adopt specific wetland protection criteria. City Response: • New Policy LU -1.8.1 — The new policy conveys the City's intent to pursue mixed- use development by creating mixed-use land use designations, however, we are not attempting to create mixed-use districts through the EAR process. At this time we are stating our objective and listing policies that will support and guide our creation of mixed use districts in the future. We do not believe we are at the point where it is appropriate to define the percentage make up of various land uses in a mixed use district(s). After the EAR based amendments are adopted, we will begin the process to create mixed-use districts and amend our comp plan to reflect the percentage distribution of uses at that time. New Policy LU -1.8.1 has been amended to reflect percentage distribution of uses and density and intensity standards as follows: A third sentence has been added to Policy LU -1.8.1 - When the City adopts a oolicv creating a mixed-use land use desianation(s), it will define the percentage distribution for the mix of allowable uses or other guidelines to implement mixed use controls consistent with the requirements of 9J -5.006(4)(c), F.A.C._ and further, it will include density and intensity standards for the mixed-use designation pursuant to Section 163.3177(6)(a), F.S. • New Coastal Management Element Policy CM -3.3 and New Conservation Element Policy C-3.3 — These policies address protection of our natural resources and environmentally sensitive areas. Environmentally sensitive areas include the Atlantic Ocean shoreline (beach) and dunes; the Banana River shoreline; and wetlands. Beach erosion is the direct result of a manmade port and jetty to the north of the City. Periodic beach renourishment by the Army Corps of Engineers helps mitigate the beach erosion. The City already has adequate standards for protection of the Atlantic dunes, including: a coastal construction setback line; an additional requirement in Residential PUDs that structures be setback 50 ft. from the bluff line or vegetation line, whichever is greater; the use of "sand fences" with sea oats which have been successful in replenishing the dunes; as well as other measures. Additional regulations may 2 a �11 be needed to address Banana River shoreline erosion and wetland protection. Currently, a structure could be setback as little as 15 ft. from the Banana River and other wetlands. The City will pursue enhanced river and wetland building setbacks through revisions to its land development code. Also, Chapter 102 of our land development codes provides adequate tree protection by requiring a permit to remove trees; tree replacement guidelines; protection for specimen trees; emphasis on planting native species; and tree protection during construction. • Policy C-4.6 is an existing policy, not a proposed EAR based amendment. The upland buffering it calls for will be addressed by an enhanced minimum building setback as discussed above. Objection #4: Transportation - The Transportation Element does not adopt Level of Service (LOS) Standards for public transit. It does not reference the appropriate edition of the FDOT updated LOS standards and Policy T-1.17 references "Traffic Circulation" rather than "Transportation" Element. Recommendations: Revise the Transportation Element to adopt FDOT's 2009 Generalized LOS Tables; adopt LOS standards for public transit, and revise Policy T- 1.11 to reference "Transportation" Element. City Response: The Element has been revised to: (1) adopt the 2009 Generalized LOS Table, (2) adopt LOS standards for public transit; and (3) Policy T-1.11 has been revised. New Policy T-1.11: The City shall continue to implement the current Concurrency Management System for roads as defined by Objective T-1 of the Transportation Traffic QFGU # en Element. The City shall adopt transportation LOS standards for state roadways as established i{n�F�DyO^T�s,;2�009C1Generalized LOS Tables. use -prflee es A identified in the rn�z Gent-ed9tiGR-�H-te-Herida DeWrner}of-Tr-ra pvortatien Service SfaPda_Fds-&--Guideljnes-Manual as thestandardto define levelf S c-- The City shall adopt a LOS standard for public transit of "E" as outlined in FDOT's 2009 Generalized LOS Tables. Objection #5: Water Supply Planning - The City has not yet adopted a water supply facilities work plan. Recommendation: Prepare and adopt the 10 -Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan and revise the Intergovernmental Coordination and Infrastructure Elements as follows: • Policy IG -1.2.2 - The City.....shall consult with the City of Cocoa prior to issuing a building permit to ensure adequate water supplies and potable water facilities 3 will be available to serve new development by the date of issuance of a certificate of occupancy- Policy PW-3.1. The City will participate in updates to SJRWMD's water supply assessment, regional water supply plan and other water supply development- related initiatives facilitated by the SJRWMD that affect the City. • Policy PW-3.2. The City's Water Supply Facilities Work Plan shall be updated at a minimum every five years, within 18 months of an adopted update to SJRWMD's regional water supply plan that affects the City. Response: It was not our intent to roll the Water Supply Plan (WSP) into the EAR process. The Water Supply Plan is addressed in the EAR as a task that must be completed by the City in the future, but it is not part of our EAR based amendment submittal. Our approach has been that the Water Supply Plan and the EAR based amendments are separate requirements. While we will make the recommended revisions to the Intergovernmental and Potable Water elements, we are considering the WSP to be a separate exercise and will complete it as soon as the EAR based amendments are adopted. 4 r.r r r r r r r r Long Term Planning Horizon 2020 -.••Inraip. r..axrx a..m Legend -- Mulli-Use Trail City Parks (see attachment) Future Land Use _ C1 - Commercial C2 - Commercial - CON - Conservation M1 - Industrial PUBIREC - Public/Recreation R1 - Residential R2 - Residential STREET LEGEND A Clara Elizabeth Lane B Maple Court C Palm Way D Croton Court E Oleander Court F Coquina Lane Ca Camelia Court H Jasmine Court I Honeysuckle Way J Intrepid Way K Aquarius Way L Tranquility Way M Shuttle Way N Falcon Way O Coconut Way NIILLEL.
