Aonroval of Minutes Mr. Roth asked if any of the commissioners had any changes or comments on the Minutes of the Meeting of March 5, 2020. Hearing none, Mr. Roth called for a motion to approve PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF MEETING OF JUNE 4, 2020 PAGE 2 the Minutes of March 5, 2020 as presented. A motion to accept the Minutes of the meeting of March 5, 2020 as presented was made by Mr. Carter, seconded by Mr. Simmons, and approved unanimously via voice vote. 6. Quasi -Judicial and Public Hearings -- None 7. Unfinished Business -- None 8. Public Input Graham Cox, 1213 George Street, Sebastian, voiced his concern about the new timetable for the completion of the comprehensive plan and the opportunity for public input into that. Mr. Roth stated that the Commissioners have been diligently working on that by reviewing what has been presented to them. He added that there is an accelerated schedule on it. Mr. Carter added. that there is now a revised date and time to schedule meetings to determine the comprehensive plan. Ms. Bosworth stated that Ms. Frazier will join the meeting and present input under Staff Matters. Mr. Roth then asked for any public input via Zoom. Hearing none, he proceeded to the next order of business. 9. New Business A. Accessory Structure Review -- LDC Section 54-2-7.5 -- 502 Hibiscus Avenue -- 996 SF Detached Garage -- Charles Hiltz Mr. Loring described the request being for a 996 -square -foot detached garage building on Lots 6 and 7, Block 27, Sebastian Highlands Unit 1. He reviewed that staff has completed the required findings which found that most of the conditions that staff requires for an accessory use to be compliant. He did draw the Commission's attention to items under 4 (d). The accessory structure height is actually 19 feet 4 and 5/16 inches, not 16 as listed on the report. The difference was because staff required the applicant to match the slope of their existing home. There are some additional considerations that staff would like the commissioners to consider: Based on the submitted plan, there appears to be approximately 118 feet of perimeter area, which includes a concrete pad proposed to the west of the proposed structure. Size and scope of the project will require a total of 40 shrubs to be planted and maintained around the perimeter of the garage. This should be an item for the Commission to mandate as a condition of approval. A revised plan showing the required landscaping should also be submitted to City staff as part of the approval process, with landscaping required to be in place and maintained at the time of final approval. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF MEETING OF JUNE 4, 2020 PAGE 3 • The proposed garage at a minimum needs to match the roof material of the existing home. It appears that the existing home has a dimensional asphalt shingle, and the proposed garage has a metal roof. That being said, the applicant has applied for a permit to install a metal roof on the home, and as a condition of approval the Commission may wish to mandate that the roof on the home is completed prior to the certificate of completion request for the proposed attached garage, and that both the home and the garage have matching roofs and paint colors at the time of final approval. • As a condition of approval, the existing shed needs to be removed prior to the construction of the new garage so that the total square footage of accessory structures is under the 1,000 -foot threshold. • Lot No. 6 appears to lie within a flood plain. The survey needs to be updated showing the demarcation line that runs through the lot. The updated survey will need to be submitted to the Building Department for a flood plain determination prior to the form board inspection for the proposed garage. • It should be noted that the proposed garage is 19 feet 4 and 5/16 inches in height, and the proposed home has a roof line that is approximately 24 feet in height. The roof line as proposed is compliant to the code and complimentary to the existing home. • The proposed finish floor elevation of the existing home and proposed garage are .04 inches, which is about 1/2" difference and are compliant and complimentary to one another. • The roof pitch of the proposed detached garage and the existing home match. Mr. Loring asked for questions or comments from the Commission, noting that the applicant is in attendance. Mr. Roth asked if the applicant would like to add anything to the site plan discussion. Charles Hiltz, 502 Hibiscus Avenue, reviewed that he has requested to have a detached garage on the lot next to his house. He stated there is another garage on this street that was approved in the past, and the one he is proposing is exactly the same. He stated that most of the conditions that Mr. Loring listed have been done. The new roof on the house which is being converted to a steel roof is about 98% completed. Mr. Christino is concerned with the full bathroom being proposed for this project. He asked if Mr. Hiltz intends to rent the property in the future. Mr. Hiltz stated no. He stated that a neighbor has the exact same layout, with a full bathroom. Mr. Christino also asked if the footprint has been calculated with the concrete pad. Mr. Hiltz stated it has. Mr. Christino also asked about the age of the existing home. Mr. Hiltz stated it is about 19 years old. Mr. Christino asked about the gallon capacity of the existing septic tank. Mr. Hiltz stated he does not know. Mr. Hughan asked if Mr. Hiltz intends to preserve the palm trees that are on the property. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 4 MINUTES OF MEETING OF JUNE 4, 2020 Mr. Hiltz replied that he wants to keep several of the palm threes. He only wants to clear back far enough for the garage and then approximately 10 feet beyond that for the patio area on the back side of the garage. Mr. Hughan also inquired regarding whether the septic system and the proposed bathroom is going to tie into the existing septic. Mr. Hiltz stated it is going to be a pump -out, where it has its own holding tank and then pumps into the main holding tank. Mr. Simmons inquired regarding the item on page 4 of the staff report where it says "proposed" home refers to the existing home, which is compliant with the code. Mr. Hiltz stated that is correct. Ms. Kautenburg asked if there is a unity of title on both lots. Mr. Hiltz stated there is. Mr. Roth stated he did not see on the site plan the indication of a septic tank and where it is located. Mr. Loring stated it does not show on the plan, but the applicant would be required to get a septic permit for any overage. As Mr. Hiltz had pointed out, it is really based on the number of bedrooms, not necessarily on the number of fixtures. Mr. Roth called for a motion. A motion to accept the request for an accessory structure at LDC Section 54-2-7.5 -- 502 Hibiscus Avenue -- for 996 square feet for a detached garage, which will include an addendum of the four points that were brought out by staff. Mr. Anon requested for the record that there be public input regarding this matter. Mr. Roth called for public input. Hearing none, the motion was seconded by Mr. Simmons. Mr. Roth then called for deliberation by the Commission to cover any points of clarification. Mr. Christino inquired regarding the driveway layout. He stated it looks like the setback for the proposed building is somewhat closer to the road than the existing house. Mr. Hiltz stated it is equal. Another of Mr. Christino's concerns is regarding the garage door for the proposed structure. He asked if there is any way to offset this door, as it will be a large door facing the street. Mr. Hiltz stated it will be exactly the same as his neighbor's garage two doors down. There was discussion regarding the planting of shrubs surrounding the proposed structure. Mr. Christino asked if there will be gutters on the proposed structure and if the runoff will be directed down the driveway towards the road. Mr. Hiltz stated there would be gutters, and the runoff will be underground to the ditch behind his house. Mr. Roth asked for a roll call. Roll Call Mr. Hughan -- Yes Mr. Simmons -- Yes Ms. Kautenburg -- Yes Mr. Christino -- Yes Mr. Roth -- Yes Mr. Carter -- Yes Vote was 7-0 in favor. Motion passes. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF MEETING OF JUNE 4, 2020 10. Commissioners Matters PAGE 5 Mr. Christino inquired regarding houses going up in his neighborhood. He understood that a developer, possibly from Ft. Lauderdale, has purchased in the area 50 lots in the City. They are single-family homes, and he thought not one of them is going on the market for sale. His concern is the possible degradation of existing neighborhoods throughout the City by placing rental properties in established neighborhoods. In his experience, these properties were not taken care of over the years. He would like this matter to be a subject of discussion when the comp plan is worked on and to discourage this practice. Ms. Bosworth referred this matter to the City Attorney, as she opined this is a property rights matter. Mr. Christino requested that the City Attorney look into this matter. Mr. Anon stated, if he is directed by the Commission, he has no problem doing that. He will then get back to staff with his findings. There was protracted discussion among the Commission members and staff regarding this subject. Mr. Roth stated the commissioners would appreciate Mr. Anon's input on this matter. 11. Citv Attornev Matters -- None 12. Staff Matters Ms. Frazier reviewed that she had stated at a prior meeting that she would submit to the commissioners' information on what was to be discussed two weeks prior to the meeting at which discussion on the comprehensive plan revision would be held. That information is attached to the agenda packet for this evening's meeting. She reviewed that information. Staff has been working diligently over the last three months on updating the elements of the proposed comp plan. She stated that what the Commission received in March is not current any longer. Elements have been added, and changes have been made since March. She requested that the Commission not spend time reviewing the elements that were handed out in March. There will be new elements provided going forward. On June 18, the Commission will be reviewing Governance, Infrastructure, and Public School elements. They are provided in tonight's agenda packet. Kimley-Horn will be at that meeting to guide the Commission through those three elements, take commissioners' comments, and provide a PowerPoint presentation. She has also supplied to the Commission copies of several letters from the Department of Economic Opportunity in regard to some current discussions that have been occurring regarding the extension of the Graves Brothers future land use amendment. The annexation is not part of the comp plan update at this time. Until the annexation has been resolved through the court and through the 164 process with the County, the future land use map cannot be considered. It has not been approved by Council, and it cannot even be considered by Council until the annexation has been resolved. Therefore, staff requested administratively an extension on the approval of the future land use map amendment. She asked for questions or comments from the commissioners. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 6 MINUTES OF MEETING OF JUNE 4, 2020 Mr. Simmons asked if the elements the commissioners received back in March should be discarded. Ms. Frazier stated that the strike -through portion of these documents has not really changed. The subjects that were presented to the commissioners for review back in March would have been the Future Land Use, Housing, and Public Schools. That information should be discarded or recycled. In this evening's packet there is the new version regarding Public Schools. Mr. Roth inquired about the numbering of the elements. Ms. Frazier stated there are eight elements that the commissioners will be reviewing. Included in this packet are Nos. 4, 7, and 8. Mr. Christino inquired regarding the residential land use designations on densities whether there was a classification added. Ms. Frazier stated that is not being reviewed right now. That item that was included in the information received back in March is not current. That will be discussed sometime in the future. Mr. Graham Cox inquired where he could find the new version of the packet, as it is not online yet. Ms. Frazier stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission received the information for these elements two weeks prior to the meeting when they would be discussed. That is the agreement that was had between staff and the commissioners in order to give them enough time to review the elements prior to the presentation at the public meeting. The public will get it one week before the meeting as part of the agenda. This is not part of tonight's agenda. City Council also received this information two weeks prior, just like this Commission. Ms. Frazier offered to make Mr. Cox a copy at his expense in order that he will have a copy two weeks prior to the meeting. 12. Adiourn Mr. Roth called for any further business. Hearing none, he adjourned the meeting at 7:05 p.m. A City of Sebastian Comprehensive Development Plan 2040 Proposed Schedule of Meetings — REVISED DUE TO COVID-19 **ALL MEETING/WORKSHOPS WILL BE HELD IN CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS @ 6:00 PM** Organization PZ Commission/Local Planning Agency Natural Resources Board PZ Commission/Local Planning Agency Parks & Recreation Board PZ Commission/Local Planning Agency PZ Commission/Local Planning Agency PZ Commission/Local Planning Agency City Council Topic/Element Livability Workshop Conservation/Coastal Management Schools, Governance, Infrastructure Parks, Recreation, Open Space FLU/Housing/Mobility Parks and Rec, Coastal/Conservation Final Draft Final Proposed Draft Date/Time • M-afoh 3, 302-9 COMPLETE Mar -eh'@ 2020 June 18, 2020 Api:il 27, 2020 July 27, 2020 April 16, 2020 July 30, 2020 �.�. lM YI I II I I I& I K1)KOw11 Oct 1 or Oct 15, 2020 Nov 18 or Dec 9, 2020 JUNE 18, 2020 PZ COMMISSION/LPA INTRODUCTION/GOVERNANCE/ INFRASTRUCTURE/PUBLIC SCHOOLS ELEMENTS *EDITS TO THE EXISTING ELEMENT ARE RECOMMENDED ACTIONS BASED ON STATUTORY CHANGES, CONSOLIDATIONS, ADDITIONS, ETC. PLEASE NOTE ANY QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DISCUSSION WITH CONSULTANTS AT THE NEXT SCHEDULED MEETING. The City of Sebastian Comprehensive Plan 2040 (Plan)has been prepared to not only address regulatory changes since the last comprehensive plan was adopted but also provide a document that: • Creates a community—wide vision to guide growth and development including redevelopment. • Improves the stability, physical condition, and economic well-being of the City. • Makes Sebastian a more livable and sustainable community of choice between now and 2040 by implementing a wide range of resiliency and livability standards. • Emphasizes the importance of not only creating a plan, but translating it into real action and tangible results. • Adds a strategic perspective to what is otherwise developed as a guide to the City's long-term vision over the next 10 to 20 years. • Underscores the need to keep the plan relevant through reviews and periodic updates. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2040 ELEMENTS The City of Sebastian Comprehensive Plan 2040 is comprised of 9 Elements each addressing a specific topic or series of interrelated topics. Due to the nature of the Plan, specific policies may cross one or more Elements and is referenced as such including the Element and respective Objective and or Policy. The Plan is comprised of the following Elements: 1. Land Use 2. Transportation & Mobility 3. Housing 4. Infrastructure 5. Conservation & Coastal Management 6. Parks & Recreation 7. Governance & Implementation 8. Public Schools 9. Economic Development 3 SEELASTIAN INTRODUCTION Plan Framework The City of Sebastian Comprehensive Plan 2040 was developed through a process that incorporated an assessment of the City's existing Comprehensive Plan, analysis of existing conditions, a series of community meetings, input from City of Sebastian Departments/staff, and work sessions with both the Planning Commission and the City Council. This Plan analyzed, and has been amended to reflect, not only changes in Florida Statutes since the last Comprehensive Plan was adopted, it also included a review and elimination of land development code provisions, removal of inconsistencies, updates to references including use of terms and agencies. Specifically, the following items were reviewed as part of the initial Comprehensive Plan review and documented as part of a review matrix that is included in the Appendix: • Growth Management (GM) Change (changes in Florida Statutes) • Regulatory (Code related) • Consistency (with Other Elements and/or Policies) • Studies/Dates • Master Plans • Other/Planning Areas • Undefined Topics • Insufficient Guidance Each Element contains a series of Goals, Objectives, and Policies, (GOPs) that provide the guidance and framework of the Element and the Plan as a whole. Following the GOPs, the supporting DIA documentation is presented including any supporting studies, reports, maps, data, and/or references. The Comprehensive Plan is the City's FRAMEWORK for the future. The Plan and its strategies (expressed as Goals, Objectives, and Policies) are crucial when preparing for opportunities such as land use, transportation/mobility, natural resources, housing and redevelopment. The City's residents and its visitors need a safe and secure place to live, a healthy economy that provides jobs and services, ways to get around the City (bike, pedestrian, car, transit), and quality recreational features. It is the responsibility of the City to provide the necessary public services and facilities, develop strategies, coordinate with neighboring jurisdictions (e.g. Indian River County) as well as regional, state and federal agencies, and adopt regulations and standards that implement this framework. The Comprehensive Plan is an umbrella document in that it guides other City plans, capital projects, and programs which affect the community in large and small ways. This Plan promotes the City's neighborhoods, vibrancy of its downtown, recognition and preservation of its natural systems, and opportunities for multimodal connectivity, all of which are integrated into the larger regional context. Comprehensive plans may be perceived as being relatively general in nature; however, Comprehensive Plans form the legal basis for community development and redevelopment within a jurisdiction. Comprehensive Plans are complex policy documents required by Florida Statutes that account for the relationships among the various community issues through required and optional Elements. The City must think adaptively to craft a bold yet flexible Plan that advances a vision with goals, objectives and policies to address emerging issues such as continued growth with an emphasis on redevelopment of targeted areas, transportation opportunities, density, infrastructure, natural systems preservation and capital improvements. This includes policies and land SE13ASTIAV development regulations, which focus on balancing residential and nonresidential land uses consistent with changing market demands. The existing suburban development pattern is proposed to be transformed and adapted to more efficient land use patterns emphasizing a mix of uses, compact urban forms, buffers and connected systems (natural habitat, pedestrian and vehicular). Legal Status The legal status of the Comprehensive Plan requires that all Goals, Objectives, and Policies will be considered in making legal determinations of consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, pursuant to State Laws and Statutes. Vested Rights In accordance with Chapter 163, Section 163.3167, nothing in this Comprehensive Plan shall limit or modify the rights of any person to complete any development that has been authorized by the City. See the City's Land Development Code for the City's vested rights determination process. Graphics and Images The use of graphics, images, photographs or similar throughout the City of Sebastian Comprehensive Plan 2040 are for illustrative purposes only and not intended to convey or require a specific element(s). Use of Terms: "Shall", "Should", "Will" and "May" The terms "shall", "should", "will", and "may" are included within this Comprehensive Plan and are understood to be used in the following manner: Shall: provisions or items that are mandatory. Will: declares a purpose to accomplish an item in the future. Should/May: items that are more flexible in nature and are non -mandatory but encouraged. Plan Interpretation A. The Planning Director (hereinafter referred to as the Director) or his or her designee shall interpret the Comprehensive Plan and its application to public and private land and to activities permitted thereon. Plan interpretations are to be based on the applicable text, maps, figures and tables within the adopted Comprehensive Plan along with the Data Inventory and Analysis (DIA) developed to support the Comprehensive Plan. B. Use and Status of Support Documentation — The DIA is not adopted as part of the Plan but may be used in any review, interpretation and update of the adopted Comprehensive Plan. C. Interpretation of Conflicts — Conflicts shall be judged under the following guidelines: 1. In the event of any difference of meaning or implication between the text of the Plan and any caption, illustration, graphic, summary table, or illustrative table, the text shall control. 2. In the event of an apparent conflict between the Future Land Use Map and any other map or figure in the adopted Comprehensive Plan, the Future Land Use Map shall control. D. Interpretation of Undefined Terms — Terms not otherwise defined in the Comprehensive Plan shall be interpreted first by reference to the relevant provisions of the Community Planning Act Part II, Chapter 163 F.S., or other relevant and appropriate State Statutes if specifically defined therein; secondly, by 5 HOME reference to terminology adopted by City Ordinance; thirdly, by reference to terminology generally accepted by Federal or State agencies; fourthly, by reference to terminology generally accepted by the planning profession; and otherwise according to the latest edition of Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary. E. Administrative Interpretations — It is the responsibility of the Director to make Comprehensive Plan administrative interpretations. Applications for an administrative interpretation together with the appropriate fee as may be required by resolution of the City Council shall be filed with the Director. Administrative interpretations may be required as a result of one of the following actions: Failure to obtain a Comprehensive Plan consistency finding based on submission of a development order application: In the event a development order application is found inconsistent with the Plan, the application may be forwarded to the Director for an administrative interpretation. The building permit, subdivision or site plan application, or conditional use application shall serve as the application for an administrative interpretation. 2. Request for interpretation of land use designation boundaries: Written requests are required for administrative interpretations related to land use designation boundaries. The request shall include a legal description of the parcel(s) and depending on the circumstance a current survey may be required. The applicant may submit additional materials that he feels supports his application and the Director may ask for additional information to explain said request. 3. Any other action that would require a Comprehensive Plan interpretation: Any affected party may make application for an administrative interpretation of the Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, the application shall include a written statement which clearly identifies the section or sections of the Plan for which an interpretation is required along with references to text, maps, figures and support document(s) which the applicant feels supports the application. F. Administrative Interpretation of Plan Consistency and its Relationship to the Concurrency Provisions of the Infrastructure Element — an administrative interpretation resulting in a determination of consistency does not constitute a determination. G. Appeal of an Administrative Interpretation — Any administrative interpretation made by the Director under the provisions of this Chapter may be appealed in accordance with Section 86-23 of the Land Development Code. Plan Amendments All amendments to the Comprehensive Plan shall be reviewed and adopted in accordance with the Community Planning Act, Part II, Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. Plan Update The City's Comprehensive Plan may be amended at any time. The State of Florida requires municipalities to review and update, where appropriate, their Comprehensive Plan at least every seven (7) years to reflect changes in Growth Management Laws, changing conditions within the community, updates to policies which may no longer be accurate or effective as well as based on where the community thinks the Plan is working or not working. The City of Sebastian is scheduled to provide the State Land Planning Agency with its review and direction of the current Comprehensive Plan by with adoption of the EAR -Based Amendments (Evaluation and 1.1 HOME Appraisal Report) within one year of that date. However, municipalities are not limited to this schedule and may undertake a review prior to this date if, in the municipality's opinion, the review and update is warranted. In 2019, the City undertook a major step in updating the Comprehensive Plan when it prepared and subsequently adopted the City of Sebastian, Coastal Resiliency Plan, Prepared By. Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., March 2019 (Coastal Resiliency Plan) and corresponding amendments to the Coastal & Conservation Element of the Comprehensive Plan. The City noted that the current Comprehensive Plan (2009 Adopted Plan) was not adequately providing guidance for a number of reasons including: • a lack of clear understanding and direction in the previous plan, • an increased number of regulatory policies typically reserved for the City's Zoning Codes/Land Development Codes, • studies and sub -plans required per the Plan were either not completed or have since been completed, • allow for a more realistic build out (development) scenario that is sustainable by the City, consistent with community comments, • changes in the Florida Growth Management Laws which have either rendered certain policies moot or would require an update to existing policies for the Plan to be in compliance. Note: changes to the currently adopted Comprehensive Plan based on regulatory changes are identified within the Appendix. The City took this opportunity to redefine its land uses and their related polices, develop a Plan that was based simple yet direct and easy to use resulting in series of core initiatives centered on the following: Efficient and Effective Public Services — a commitment to providing programs and services to the community in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible without sacrificing responsiveness and quality. Responsible Growth Management and Development - a commitment to maintaining and developing healthy communities and sustainable neighborhoods to foster economic and social stability, provide for the safety and welfare of residents, provide affordable housing, and ensure access to employment, education, recreation and public services. Economic Development - supporting efforts to develop effective economic development strategies that will position the City to take advantage of current and future economic conditions by identifying key opportunities for recruitment of businesses, industries, and services that provide jobs and meet the needs of the community. Quality of Life — a recognition that an enhanced quality of life is essential to attract visitors and residents to the City of Sebastian. To that end, the City recognizes and supports programs, services and activities that enhance the City's diverse natural habitats and open spaces, recreation facilities and amenities; exercising environmentally sound and prudent management of growth. Public Engagement Process Key to the update of the City's Comprehensive Plan is an inclusionary public engagement process. Understanding community values today ensures that this plan supports and advances those priorities over the long term. As noted above, the planning process began in 2018 with the development of the City's Coastal 7 Resiliency Plan and related updates to the Comprehensive Plan, and then moved to the update of the entire Comprehensive Plan in 2019-2020. The City's community involvement approach was simple: to create a strategy that achieves desirable results over the next 10 to 20 years, understand the City's successes and challenges since the 2010 Comprehensive Plan, take a community snapshot to reassess the vision and priorities expressed by the community and its leadership. The Comprehensive Plan helps achieve success by recognizing a set of community initiatives that are clear, relatable, and important to City leaders and residents. Upon adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, the City will then undertake the required process to amend (update) the City's Land Development Code. PUBLIC INPUT The Comprehensive Plan provides a broad vision of the City's future. By identifying issues and opportunities facing the City of Sebastian today, the City can proactively address those issues and capitalize on possibilities to improve the quality of life for its citizens. In addition, the plan presents strategies for achieving that vision. The understanding of community dynamics and the outcomes of public engagement opportunities were critical pieces in the creation of the City of Sebastian Comprehensive Plan 2040. A common theme that emerged from the planning process is the community's understanding that the physical environment of the City—it's neighborhoods, buildings, streets, utilities, and natural resources—have a far-reaching impact on economic vitality and cultural legacy. Interested persons were afforded the opportunity to provide comments, formally or informally, in writing for the duration of planning process, including during the four Planning Commission Workshops and two Board Workshops that targeted specific components of the Plan in an orderly manner. This input supplemented the data and analysis derived throughout the process. Throughout the update, the City, through the Planning Commission workshops culminated in the final Plan that was reviewed and forward to the City Council for their review and ultimate approval. E:3 The purpose of the Infrastructure Element is to ensure the availability of wastewater, solid waste, drainage, and potable water facilities to meet the existing and projected demands within the City. This Element aims to effectively manage growth and maintain environmental quality while providing safe and adequate facilities for residents and visitors. The Infrastructure Element also establishes level of service standards in coordination with the Indian River County Utility Department. INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT HIGHLIGHTS 1 .

Consistent with the Land Use Element and the Conservation & Coastal Management Element, the City's LDC shall include standards restricting development within aquifer recharge areas. 10 Policy 4-1.5.7: Deep Aquifer Water Conservation. In order to protect the quality and quantity of deep aquifer water resources, the City shall coordinate with SJRWMD and other applicable regulatory agencies in identifying the existence and location of free flowing deep aquifer wells and in requiring corrective measures, including capping, plugging, or installing regulatory devices which control the discharge of water from the deep aquifer pursuant to SJRWMD policies. Policy 4-1.5.8: Intergovernmental Coordination. Specific Objectives and Policies regarding intergovernmental coordination and this Element are provided and identified in the Governance & Implementation Element. 11 DATA INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS Introduction Pursuant to the requirements of Chapter 163 of the 2019 Florida Statutes, the Infrastructure Element consists of data inventory and analysis (DIA) that influences and informs the element's overarching goals, objectives, and policies. Provided in this inventory and analysis is sanitary sewer, solid waste, stormwater, and potable water facilities and services in the City of Sebastian. The City of Sebastian does not maintain sanitary sewer, solid waste, or potable water facilities within its corporate limits. These services are provided to the City pursuant to the terms of respective franchise agreements herein discussed. This DIA shall identify the nature of the existing facilities within Sebastian. This identification shall include the following information: • Entity having operational responsibility for the facility; • Design capacity of the facility; • Current demand on the facility capacity and the level of service provided by the facility; and • Impact on adjacent natural resources. This DIA will also provide an analysis of future public facilities for the City of Sebastian by determining future service demands as well as necessary levels of service to meet them. Potable Water This section evaluates the potable water system serving the City of Sebastian inclusive of all structures designed to collect, treat, and distribute potable water in addition to water wells, treatment plants, reservoirs and distribution mains. Indian River County Utilities Department (IRCUD) Geographic Service Area The City of Sebastian's potable water is provided by a system operated by the Indian River County Utilities Department. The City is located within the North County Service Area and serviced by the North County Water Treatment Plant. Water Sources Potable water in the City of Sebastian is received from either private on-site wells or from the County's water treatment plant. Currently, the plants operated by the Indian River County Utilities Department use the Upper Floridan aquifer as their primary water source. The County uses reverse osmosis to treat water drawn from the Floridian Aquifer. Water Treatment Plants (WTPs) Located on the north side of 77th Street, west of 58th Avenue, the North County Water Treatment Plant began operating in 1997. According to Indian River County , the current permitted design capacity of the plant is 11.44 MGD. Currently, there is adequate treatment capacity for the planning period. Additionally, the County is currently upgrading the Roseland Tank to a storage and repump station that will improve pressure in the North Sebastian area. 12 Potable Water Level of Service The City's adopted Level of Service Standard for potable water is 250 gallons per day per equivalent residential unit. Table 4-1 provides a listing of the projected potable water demand based upon the population projections and the entire City being connected to the County potable water system. In order to meet projected demand in 2040, the City will require an estimated 3,978,000 gallons per day. To ensure the efficient and acceptable delivery of potable water services to the City of Sebastian continued coordination with Indian River County Utilities is recommended. Table 4-1: Projected Potable Water Demand Year Population Residential Units Gallons/Unit/Day Estimated Average Demand (gallons/day) 2020 25,957 11,616 250 2,904,000 2025 28,562 12,933 250 3,233,250 2030 30,806 14,100 250 3,525,000 2035 32,757 15,029 250 3,757,250 2040 34,567 15,912 250 3,978,000 Source: Population projections and household estimates from Florida Housing Data Clearinghouse Water Conservation The City of Sebastian participates in water conservation, use, and protection through programs and policies supported by SJRWMD. Per Section 373.016, F.S., the SJRWMD, and all other water management districts are required to "promote the conservation, replenishment, recapture, enhancement, development, and proper utilization of surface and groundwater." To accomplish this directive, the SJRWMD considers conservation in the development of policy and rules, public information programs, planning, and resource management and evaluation. Conservation measures are also witnessed through the use of a consumptive use permitting process, which enables the SIRWMD to review certain proposed and existing developments for reasonable and beneficial use of water. The SJRWMD encourages the reuse of wastewater for irrigation purposes as a measure to conserve water. Incentives to install and utilize wastewater reuse facilities are provided in the Water Management District's permitting process for wastewater treatment facilities. Included among the SJRWMD's conservation efforts is a program targeted at plugging unattended, free-flowing artesian wells. This program attempts to identify abandoned wells, seal them, and restore them to their natural hydrologic condition. SJRWMD also promulgates information to the public concerning water conservation. Pamphlets, slide shows, speeches, and addresses made through media sources are a variety of ways in which the District educates and informs the public about water conservation. Sanitary Sewer The sanitary sewer system is defined as structures or systems designed for the collection, transmission, treatment, or disposal of sewage. Disposal includes solids and effluent reuse, which is also referred to as reclaimed or grey water. 13 Geographic Service Area The City of Sebastian does not maintain a sanitary sewer facility within its corporate limits and the majority of the homes are serviced by septic tanks. Those homes within the City of Sebastian on central sewer service receive service from Indian River County Utilities. The entire City is within the County's service area. Treatment Facilities and Capacity The design capacity and demand for the North Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant is 0.850 MGD. According to the Indian River County Comprehensive Plan, approximately 60% of the Plant's capacity is allocated to Sebastian. It is projected the plant will need to process 2,000,000 gallons per day in 2030. This plant is interconnected to the rest of the County's wastewater treatment system, thereby allowing sanitary sewer flow to be directed to another County facility for treatment, if necessary. In 2017, flows from the North Regional Plant were transferred to the Central Plant which has a capacity of 4 MGD. Table 4-2 depicts projected wastewater demand based upon the population projections and the entire City being connected to the County wastewater system. This would be approximately half of the projected County's projected demand. To ensure the efficient and acceptable delivery of wastewater services to the City of Sebastian, continued coordination with Indian River County Utilities is recommended. Additionally, as the County extends sewer service to the entire City, the number of units on central sewer would increase, thereby, reducing the number of septic tanks and minimizing the associated environmental risks. Table 4-2: Projected Wastewater Demand Year Population Residential Units Gallons/Unit/Day 2020 25,957 11,616 250 2025 28,562 12,933 250 2030 30,806 14,100 250 2035 32,757 15,029 250 f2040 34,567 15,912 250 Source: Population projections and household estimates from Florida Housing Data Clearinghouse Septic to Sewer Conversion Estimated Average Demand (gallons/day) 2,904,000 3,233,250 3,525,000 3,757,250 3,978,000 The key opportunity for wastewater service expansion within Sebastian is the large percentage of homes still on septic tanks, which need to be converted to the County's sanitary sewer. The use of a single central sewer system rather than many septic tanks will reduce the potential for contamination of water within the surficial aquifer, and also will lessen chances of pollution and nutrients entering the Indian River Lagoon. Additionally, new sewer lines will allow existing vacant land to develop due to access to sewer. Disposal of wastewater through septic tanks and wellfields has potential for adversely impacting adjacent natural resources. However, the City and the County Environmental Health Departments have enforced regulations requiring septic tanks and drain fields to be elevated in order to abate groundwater pollution. The City has soils, including the Sebastian Highlands and most areas west of the coastal ridge, which could have severe limitations for septic tanks and 14 LTJ drain fields. The concern regarding septic tanks is related to two issues: 1) contamination of drinking water; and 2) pollution of the Indian River Lagoon. Sebastian CRA Septic to Sewer Conversion Program The City is currently in the process of implementing the Sebastian CRA Septic to Sewer Program (SSP). The program is designed to provide individual grants to qualified property owners for costs incurred to remove an operational septic tank system that serves an occupied facility or building and connects to the Indian River County sanitary sewer system. The SSP is available to businesses or residences located within the CRA District currently utilizing septic systems. Grant funds will be disbursed as a reimbursement after receipts and documentation is submitted and inspection of improvements occurs. The City of Sebastian established a wastewater sewer hook-up program in 2014 that offered incentives to property owners in the Riverfront CRA in the removal of existing septic tanks and hookup to existing sewer lines. Since the start of this project the number of applicants (and septic tank conversions) has increased due to the support from the Indian River Lagoon Council matching grant, gravity sewer line installation by Indian River County, and increased educational efforts by the City. Currently connection cost to tie into the existing sewer force main along Indian River Drive have been high resulting in 21 conversions in a two year period. With the addition of the gravitational line within the northern CRA district, approximately 50 properties are now eligible for septic to sewer conversion at a lower cost. This program has the capability of incentivizing the conversion of the majority of septic systems in this area. A long term benefit is the removal of excess nutrients and other pollutants from legacy sources resulting in a reduction in harmful algal blooms and potential increase in the return of healthy seagrass beds. North Sebastian Septic to Sewer (S2S) Phase I Conversion Project The North Sebastian Septic to Sewer (S2S) Phase I Conversion Project deals with the installation of centralized gravity sewer service for 58 parcels within the un -incorporated Indian River County and the City of Sebastian city limits. Completion was scheduled for the fall of 2018. Solid Waste The purpose of this sub -element is to ensure that adequate solid waste collection and disposal services and facilities are available to meet the demands of projected population growth in the City of Sebastian. The entire City of Sebastian located within the service area for solid waste collection and disposal and the County's landfill near 1-95 and Oslo Road serves all of Indian River County, including unincorporated and incorporated areas. The County's solid waste system is an organized dependent special district known as Indian River County Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD). The purpose of the Refuse Disposal Division under SWDD is to operate five Customer Convenience Centers (CCC's) around the County and transport materials delivered to these centers by county residents to the landfill site for recycling and/or disposal. The five county -wide CCC's provide collection points for the residents to deliver municipal solid waste, yard trash, household hazardous waste and various recyclable materials. SWDD then transports these materials to the landfill for ultimate disposition to maintain the health and well-being of the community and environment. 15 City residents may voluntarily subscribe with a private hauler (Waste Management) to provide solid waste collection, or may dispose of waste themselves at a CCC, with the Roseland CCC located in relatively close proximity to the City. The private hauler utilizes the Indian River County transfer and landfill facilities for processing and disposal. The private hauler is obligated to pick up residential solid waste two (2) times per week, with collections being at least three (3) days apart. Collection is from the roadway right-of-way with exceptions made for disabled/handicapped residents, whose refuse is approved for rear yard pick-up. The hauler is also obligated to collect commercial refuse no less than two (2) times per week, and up to six (6) times per week, if required, to protect public health and safety. According to the Indian River County 2030 Comprehensive Plan, Indian River County's unit contribution rate of solid waste averages 2.4 tons per capita/per year for the County's permanent population plus weighted seasonal population. The County landfill is operated and maintained in accordance with applicable local and state requirements and has been certified by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The County does not currently regulate proportional capacity allotments at the County landfill or at the County transfer stations. Therefore, this data is not available. The management and disposal of hazardous wastes are discussed in the Conservation & Coastal Management Element. Solid Waste Level of Service The City's Level of Service Standard for solid waste is 7.52 pounds per capita per day and projects this generation rate will continue. This requires a collection and disposal capacity of 97.60 tons per day in 2020 (projected population 25,957) and will require a collection and disposal capacity of 129.97 tons per day in 2040 (projected population 34,567). Solid waste capacity is not a major concern for the City as it is transported to the Indian River County landfill for disposal. According to 2019 figures provided by the City's private hauler (Waste Management), there were 7,775 customers within the City of Sebastian accounted for 6,328 tons of residential garbage and 2,637 tons of residential recycling. This shows that City solid waste customers are produced approximately 4.46 pounds per day in 2019. There is sufficient capacity in the Indian River County landfill to meet the City's needs for solid waste disposal for the short term and long term planning horizons. According to Indian River County, the landfill has permitted capacity through 2070. Should extensive redevelopment or future annexations cause a significant increase in the City's solid waste production, new service and collection equipment may be required. The projected demand for the planning horizon is shown in Table 4-3 below. Table 4-3: Projected Demand on Solid Waste Year Population Tons Per Day Annual Tonnage 2020 25,957 97.60 35,624 2025 28,562 107.39 39,197 2030 30,806 115.83 42,278 2035 32,757 123.17 44,957 2040 34,567 129.97 47,439 16 Stormwater/Drainage The City's Stormwater Utility operates and maintains the extensive stormwater collection and treatment system of swales, ditches, culverts, catch basins, baffle boxes and the 8.15 mile Elkcam Canal/Collier Creek Canal. The development of the Sebastian Highlands and surrounding areas required a substantial system of canals and drainage ways to accommodate run-off. These modifications are normally in the form of swales and ditches, which collect stormwater run-off and direct it to larger man-made facilities and eventually the Indian River Lagoon, either directly or via the Sebastian River. The City maintains a maintenance program designed to remove debris and other obstructions from the drainage system. Because of its relatively flat terrain, the City has extensive amounts of poorly drained areas that require modification prior to development. In addition to the topographic drainage characteristics, the area is also comprised of a large amount of soils with moderate to poor drainage capabilities. The site plan review process provides a management process for addressing this issue by requiring that each development accommodate stormwater so that post development conditions do not increase the amount or rate of run-off beyond pre -development conditions. The man-made drainage features within the City have been designed to accommodate major flood flow conditions. The City's recent stormwater management efforts are concentrated in the area of improving maintenance of the existing system and mandating efficient drainage infrastructure for all new development. Site plan review activities have prevented encroachment of development into sloughs, watersheds, creek beds, or other low areas. In 2013, the City prepared a Stormwater Management Master Plan Update (Appendix 4-X) with the following objectives: • Updating the existing stormwater model to represent current hydrologic and hydraulic conditions within the basin; • Evaluating existing capacity and the future demand of the previous stormwater management system; • Developing alternative improvements (structural and non-structural) and providing recommendations for reducing system deficiencies • Developing a master plan that prioritizes the recommended alternatives with individual preliminary cost estimates • Prioritizing areas for water quality retrofit and consider these areas in the design of stormwater improvements for flooding. In 2014, The City established a water quality monitoring and testing of storm water discharges. City staff collects monthly samples of water from discharge locations to test for nitrogen and phosphorus. And, in 2015, the City received an achievement award for Environmental Stewardship from the League of Florida Cities for Water Monitoring and testing program. In 2016, the City completed the Tulip Drainage Improvement Project. The project involved the installation of a retention pond which had been identified in the City's Stormwater Master Plan as a required retention basin to retain stormwater during storm events. The drainage system for the City's central area of the Sebastian Highlands is unable to handle the flow of runoff during heavy storm events and typically several streets like Tulip Drive will flood for a short period. Due to the need to improve storm water runoff and to help improve water quality, the City received funds from FDEP Section 319 Grant to help in the construction, monitoring, and education. 17 The City has identified the following stormwater improvement projects in the 2020-2025 Five -Year Capital Improvement Program. • Stormwater Master Plan - $200,000 • Drainage Correction for Streets - $100,000 • Roadway Swale Work - $360,000 • Bay Drive Retention Area - $240,000 • Concha Dam Repair - $800,000 • Tulip Road Design - $232,000 • Bayfront Road Crossing - $250,000 • Ocean Cove Drainage - $300,000 • Major Canal Improvements - $3,000,000 • Stonecrop Drainage - $860,000 The City intends to undertake another update to the Stormwater Management Master Plan during the course of the short-term planning horizon to include a city-wide evaluation to improve the numerical model with the latest datasets as outlined in the City's Coastal Resiliency Plan. As part of the plan update, a detailed inventory of stormwater assets should be completed, and the update of the model should include the development of a schema to increase the adaptive capacity for the City in the case of sea level rise and chronic flooding scenarios. Drainage Level of Service Post development runoff shall not exceed the pre -development runoff rate for a 25 -year, 24-hour storm event. Stormwater treatment and disposal facilities shall be designed to meet the design and performance standards established in chapter 17-25, FAC, with treatment of the runoff from the first one inch of rainfall on-site to meet the water quality standards required by chapter 17-302, FAC. Aquifer Recharge There are no areas within the City that have been adopted by the St. John's River Water Management District as prime groundwater recharge areas for the Floridan aquifer. The coastal ridge area has the best recharge potential. However, most of this area has been developed as part of the "Old Town." Other portions have been mined for sand. The Floridan aquifer is recharged in eastern Osceola County and very little down migration of water is possible due to two factors: • A confining layer of silt and clay and various other materials separates the surficial and deep (Floridan) aquifer; and The potentiometric surface of the aquifer is approximately +30 feet NGVD (National Geodetic Vertical Datum), this upward pressure will not permit recharge except under extremely high head conditions. The top of the surficial aquifer within the City is generally located between five (5) and ten (10) feet below the ground surface but may be much closer to the ground surface depending upon the amount of rainfall which is present. The rainfall in the area recharges the surficial aquifer, and as such, the water table depth fluctuates with the amount and intensity of the rainfall. The surficial aquifer recharge areas within the City may not supply large quantities of water to the aquifer but serve to prevent lateral saltwater intrusion into inland groundwater supplies. 18 The City's zoning regulations, flood damage prevention ordinance, and subdivision regulations accomplish an adequate degree of protection for natural drainage and recharge areas. Sebastian's existing land use has generally developed in a manner favorable to natural groundwater recharge and natural flood protection.

To fulfill that responsibility, the School plans for the location of new schools, as well as renovation and additions to existing schools to meet student needs. In order for the school district to efficiently and realistically plan for future schools — they must coordinate with local municipalities. The City invites the School Board to participate in review of new development with a seat on the Planning and Zoning Commission. Additionally, the City participates on a county wide working group to review proposed school projects. The City partnered with the other Cities and the County for an Interlocal Agreement for School Concurrency in 2003. The most recent Interlocal Agreement was adopted in 2008. Indian River County Soil Conservation District. The Indian River County Soil Conservation District is the Indian River County agency responsible for carrying out the localized responsibilities of the NRCS as identified above. Indian River County Environmental Health Unit. The Indian River County Environmental Health Unit has responsibility for monitoring septic tanks and potable water in Indian River County.

The City provides an office and meeting space to the Indian River National Estuary Program (IRLNEP), so that they may have a centralized location to discuss the preservation and restoration of the Indian River Lagoon. Treasure Coast Regional League of Cities. In 2007 the Treasure Coast League of Cities was organized to promote communication among the municipal leaders of the Treasure Coast region, to foster cooperative action in meeting common needs. City Council has appointed a member of this League since inception. Sebastian River Historical Society. The Sebastian River Historical Society (SRHS) is responsible for identifying historically significant dwelling units within the City of Sebastian.

Intergovernmental Coordination of Areas of Critical State Concern A portion of the City of Sebastian eastern City limits abuts the Indian River Lagoon. In 1986, the State of Florida designated the segment of Indian River Lagoon which extends from Malabar to Vero Beach as an Aquatic Preserve. This action imposes a number of regulations and restrictions on lands adjacent to the estuary. The City continues to work towards improving quality of the stormwater runoff, which indirectly enters the Indian River Lagoon. The City works with the State Department of Environmental Protection to ensure that all regulations and requirements are met. Intergovernmental Agreements Fire and Emergency Services Interlocal Agreement. The City of Sebastian has an interlocal agreement with Indian River County and the City of Fellsmere which established the North County Fire District. This interlocal agreement stipulates the basic organizational and financial framework for providing fire protection services within the district as elaborated in the Indian River County Comprehensive Plan. The fire and ambulance service is coordinated with the Indian River County Sheriff's 911 emergency service system. Indian River County Emergency Services District. To improve services to the residents and those building contractors that do business within the City, the City entered into an agreement for fire prevention and life safety services to review construction plans, conduct inspections to compliance with the Florida fire prevention code and life safety code with the Indian River County Emergency Services District. 18 Sebastian Police Department. The Sebastian Police Department is in mutual aid agreements with the neighboring Fellsmere, Indian River Shores, Indian River Sheriff's Office, and Vero Beach Police Departments to ensure the lives and property of people will be protected and preserved across jurisdictional lines. In 2017 the Sebastian Police Department entered into a memorandum of understanding with the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) for the purpose of responding to prolific juvenile offenders. Beginning March 2018, the Sebastian Police Department assigned a School Resource Officer to Pelican Island Elementary and Sebastian Elementary School to ensure the safety and security of students, teachers and staff on campus per F.S.1006.12.

On January 14, 1987, the City of Sebastian entered into an intergovernmental agreement with Indian River County to provide water and sewer services to the residents of Sebastian. The agreement authorizes Indian River County to levy special assessments in order to provide water and waste water services. The County Utility Services Department has the primary responsibility for coordinating such county based utility services within the City of Sebastian. Technical issues are coordinated through the City Engineer. Interlocal Agreement for School Concurrency. On February 13, 2008, the City of Sebastian entered into an intergovernmental agreement with Indian River County and the Cities of Fellsmere, Indian River Shores and Vero Beach that outlined the policies and procedures for school concurrency. The ILA as the first step in process that benefits the community by more closely coordinating residential land use and school facilities planning programs. These benefits include: (1) better coordination of new schools in time and place with land development, (2) greater efficiency for the School Board, Cities and County through the reduction of student travel times and the placement of schools to take advantage of existing and planned roads, water lines, sewer lines and parks, (3) improved student access and safety through coordination of school construction with local government road and sidewalk construction, (4) better location and design of schools so that they serve as community focal points, (5) improved location and design of schools with parks, ball fields, libraries, and other community facilities to take advantage of joint use opportunities, and (6) better location of new schools and expansion and rehabilitation of existing schools in order to reduce pressures contributing to urban sprawl. Joint Planning and Service Agreements The City has coordinated some of its planning issues with Indian River County, which borders the City on all sides. Concerns such as traffic circulation, adjacent land uses, preservation of natural areas, and adequate public facilities are addressed from an areawide perspective. The City entered into an agreement in 2017 with Indian River County to ensure land use adjacent to the Sebastian Municipal Airport is compatible with normal airport operations. Currently the City and County are partners in the Habitat Conservation Plan outlining management strategies and best practices for the Florida Scrub Jay, a protected species. Joint Meetings Used to Further Intergovernmental Coordination. The City of Sebastian and its officials are active in a number of planning related joint meetings with the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners held for purpose of achieving coordination of issues related to: • North County Fire District, • Water and wastewater service, Transportation impact fees • Stormwater management and drainage, and • Planning issues which transcend the lines of political jurisdiction. 19 The City frequently is represented on the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council as the County's municipal representative, a seat to which the County Commissioners appoint an elected municipal official. The County rotates the selection among County municipalities. The City coordinates with St. Johns River Water Management District on issues of joint concern. Analysis of Strengths, Weaknesses and Opportunities of Interlocal Coordination The City of Sebastian coordinates with a number of other governments or governmental agencies which affect land development. City Staff have identified a number of issues which would benefit from improved intergovernmental coordination and these issues together with intergovernmental coordination mechanisms are delineated below. Communication. At the local level, coordination and communication between the City and the County functions well. However, there is not yet a formalized procedure to deal with interjurisdictional impacts. It is anticipated that the Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement (ISBA) will address that issue and provide better mechanism. Coordination. Coordination with State and Regional Agencies is an area that needs improvement. City Staff have taken steps to increase communication with these agencies, however, Staff is not always appraised of enforcement issues, permit applications, and consent orders when Regional and State agencies have issues with a property owner within the City limits. Additionally, State agencies do not always keep local government apprised of changes in rules and regulations. This can result in a lack of clear understanding and/or duplication of state regulations for both applicants and City staff. Traffic Circulation. The City continues to coordinate with Indian River County in planning for major traffic circulation system improvements. However, there is currently not a mechanism for addressing inter - jurisdictional impacts of vehicle trips inside and outside municipal limits. As the county has grown in population, the need for better coordination is evident. While it is easier and less burdensome for local government to not consider inter -jurisdictional impacts, there are benefits to both parties for improved coordination. It is anticipated that an Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement (ISBA) will provide better mechanisms. Sanitary Sewer and Potable Water Systems. The County has made substantial progress in providing potable water and wastewater system to residents. The City has granted Indian River County franchise agreements to provide water and wastewater service to the City. County Utility water and sewer is provided within new subdivisions and the County continues to work with businesses for expansion of sanitary sewer. The availability of potable water for all future development is an area of concern. Capital Improvements Overview Facilities will be provided either by property owners and/or developers as they develop their property in order to meet the requirements of the City's LDC; or facilities will be provided by public agencies, including the City. All capital projects shall be reviewed as to their compatibility and timing in relation to capital projects being implemented or planned by Indian River County, the Florida Department of Transportation, the St. Johns River Water Management District, the Indian River County School Board, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and/or any other applicable government agency. W Needed capital improvements are those that are necessary to meet the adopted level of service (LOS) standards identified in other Elements of this Plan. LOS are used to indicate whether public facilities are adequate to meet the needs of the City's future populations. LOS is a standardized measure of infrastructure operating conditions and is generally defined with reference to a benchmark; a measure of effectiveness. The City of Sebastian public facilities that require identification and funding are: Transportation: Roadways that are under the jurisdiction of the City and County, and those roadways which need funded improvements. Sanitary Sewer: Sanitary sewer treatment and effluent disposal facilities necessary to serve the existing and future population of the City. This includes coordination with Indian River County to ensure those facilities are available when needed, and recommendations for adequate sanitary sewer facilities. Solid Waste: Solid waste disposal facilities to service the City's existing and future population. This includes coordination with Indian River County to ensure those facilities are available when needed, and recommendations for adequate solid waste collection methods. Drainage. Drainage systems necessary to meet recommended LOS for stormwater quality and conveyance. Provision of said services and facilities shall include coordination with Indian River County and the Saint Johns River Water Management District (SRWMD), for improvements to systems and basins which serve the City but are outside its jurisdiction. Potable Water: Potable water treatment facilities necessary to serve the existing and future population of the City. This includes coordination with Indian River County to ensure those facilities are available when needed, and recommendations for adequate potable water facilities. Recreation/Open Space: Land area necessary to meet the recommended LOS Funding Sources The City of Sebastian utilizes numerous sources to fund operation and capital expenses in the City. The City has employed methods described in this Element in addition to its standard annual budgeting procedures to allocate funds for specific purposes. An overview of various funding sources utilized for capital project funding is presented below. General Fund Revenue Sources Ad Valorem Taxes (Property Taxes). Ad valorem taxes include revenue from non-exempt property taxation. Franchise Fees. Franchise fees are paid by utility providers (electricity, natural gas, solid waste) for their use of City streets and property in providing their services. The City assesses a franchise fee for the electric utility and the solid waste collection services. Licenses, Permits and Fines. All businesses operating in the City are required to pay a local business tax. Fees for driveway permits, zoning, site plan review, plat review and alarm permits, provide income from this revenue source. Fines for parking tickets, court fines, code enforcement fines, and the like provide additional income. 21 Intergovernmental Revenue. Intergovernmental revenues are funds collected by the State or County and shared with other local government units. Major sources of shared revenue include the cigarette tax, State revenue sharing, beverage licenses, mobile home licenses, motor fuels tax, half -cent sales tax and occupational licenses. Interest Income. Interest income is revenue earned on funds that have been invested by the City. Other Charges for Services/User Fees. Service and user fees are charges for services provided by the City that are paid by the users to fully or partially cover the costs to provide services. Utility Services Taxes. Utility taxes are assessed at a certain rate of the monthly purchase price on purchases of electricity, water, and propane and natural gas services on customers within the City limits. Communication Services Taxes. The Communication Service Tax replaced the franchise fee for dealers of communications services (including, but not limited to, phone and cable TV services). Other Funds Revenue Sources Impact Fees. These fees are charged concurrent with new development and contribute toward payment for infrastructure needs, but not operational costs, which directly result from new development. The only impact fee revenue included in the City's budget is currently assessed for parks and recreation. The City collects impact fees for Indian River County for transportation, emergency services, sanitary sewer, solid waste and potable water. Special Assessments. Special assessments are levied against residents, agencies or districts that directly benefit from the service or facility. Special Fees. The City established the Sebastian Stormwater Utility in 2001, which levies an annual fee on a per unit/property basis throughout the community. Enterprise Funds. Enterprise funds are used to account for City services that are operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises where the intent is that the costs (expenses including depreciation) of providing goods and services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges. Examples of these are the Building Department Fund, Golf Courses and the Airport. Local Option Gas Tax (LOGT). The LOGT is an established cent gallon tax levied by Indian River County. The tax funds are distributed to participating cities within the county on a percentage basis determined by the cities' populations and amount of annual transportation -related expenditures. Discretionary Sales Taxes. The discretionary sales tax is the additional one -cent sales tax levied by Indian River County. The tax funds are distributed to participating cities within the County on a percentage basis determined by the cities' populations. Tax Increment Fund (TIF) Revenue. TIF revenue is tax revenue that is attributable to the increase in property values due to the improvements within the City's Riverfront Redevelopment Area. The additional tax revenue that is received from the affected properties is referred to as the tax increment. This TIF revenue may be used for capital projects located within the City's Riverfront Redevelopment Area. 22 Law Enforcement Forfeiture Fund. This fund is used to account for the receipt of forfeited cash and equipment associated with police activities. The use of these funds is restricted to police related equipment purchases and community education initiatives. General Obligation Bonds. These bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the local government and must be approved by voter referendum. They offer low interest for carrying less risk since they are secured by government taxing power. Capital improvements financed through general obligation bonds should be used only for projects benefiting the whole City. Currently, the City has no General Obligation Bonds. Revenue Bonds. Funds raised from revenue bonds may be used for projects benefiting a specific group since charges collected from users of the improvement are applied directly to the debt service on these bonds. In this respect, the projects are self-supporting. Revenue bonds pay higher interest and their issuance may be approved by the City Council without voter approval. Industrial Revenue Bonds. Though the local government issues these bonds, the debt is assumed by the companies or industries that use the revenues for construction of utility plants or facilities. Because they are tax-exempt and low interest, industries are attracted to this type of bond. Local government can transfer the actual liability to provide interest while garnering employment and economic benefits for the community. Federal and State Grants and Loans. Federal funds are allocated to state agencies that administer block grants or are disbursed as block grants directly to state and local agencies or other eligible organizations. The purpose of the block grant program is to enable greater latitude by recipients in the actual use of the funds. These funds are generally a non-recurring source and cannot be accurately projected for budgeting purposes. Several federal agencies offer direct loan programs that allow limited ability for the City to finance capital improvements. State loans, however, can be used to finance capital projects such as land acquisition for low- income housing. Prioritization The various Elements of this plan discuss and analyze capital improvements necessary to address existing deficiencies and provide facility expansion to meet projected growth. The methods of project prioritization of the identified capital improvements provide a means to determine the relative priority of each capital project, the City will use the following criteria to prioritize projects: • Whether the project increases the efficiency of existing facilities or infrastructure. • Whether the project represents a logical extension of facilities within the urban service area. • Whether the project is financially feasible. • Whether the project is coordinated with major projects of other agencies. • Whether the project is necessary to meet established levels of service. • Whether the project implements the policies of the Comprehensive Plan as they pertain to concurrency requirements. • Whether the project eliminates a public hazard. Financial Feasibility The Five -Year Capital Improvement Schedule provides the foundation of an annual planning process that allows the City to meet its capital improvement needs and maintain its adopted LOS standards based on 23 projected growth and available existing capacity. The revenue sources described herein are projected to be adequate to fund the projects identified In the Five -Year Capital Improvements Schedule. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM The City Council adopts a five-year capital improvements program which includes the first year as part of the annual budget, and the remainder of the program is updated each year. The current Capital Improvement Program (CIP) document is a guide to determining and establishing priorities based upon the condition of each Element of the Comprehensive Plan and the capital improvements needed to maintain adopted LOS standards. The CIP is the implementing portion of the City's Capital Improvements Plan. Below is the adopted CIP for the 2020-2025 planning period. 24 r_YADTCD 4.

The Public Schools Element requires that public school facilities are provided in a timely manner in the City. This Element sets the foundation for the coordination with the School District of Indian River County to correct existing school deficiencies and address future needs through implementation of adopted Level of Service (LOS) standards. PUBLIC SCHOOLS ELEMENT HIGHLIGHTS 1. Ensures the coordination with the School District of Indiar River County in order to implements adopted Level of Service (LOS) standards; 2. Requires a concurrency management system to ensure that the LOS standard that has been established is maintained; 3. Encourages the siting and design of school facilities to serve as focal points for the community and ensures compatibility with adjacent land uses; and 4. Encourages safe student access by coordinating the construction of new and expanded neighborhoods with safe road and sidewalk connections to schools. GOALS, OBJECTIVES, & POLICIES Goal 8-1: Provide Quality Education. As a basic tenet of community life, it is the goal of the City of Sebastian to contribute to a high quality public school environment and diverse education system. Objective 8-1.1: Level of Service Standards. The City shall coordinate with the School District of Indian River County (aka school board) to correct existing deficiencies and address future needs through implementation of adopted level of service standards and appropriate public school facility service area boundaries. Policy 8-1.1.1: Adoption of Level of Service Standards (LOS). The City of Sebastian adopts LOS of 100% of FISH capacity for each year of the five year planning period(s) and through the long term planning period for each School Service Area. Policy 8-1.1.2: Use of Level of Service Standards. The City shall use its concurrency management system to ensure that the level of service standard that has been established by the school district for each type of school is maintained. Policy 8-1.1.3: Adoption of School Service Area Boundaries (SSAB). The City of Sebastian adopts the School Board's current public school attendance boundaries, as the School Service Area Boundaries (SSAB). The SSAB exclude magnet and charter schools. Policy 8-1.1.4: Guidelines and Standards for the Modification of Concurrency Service Areas. Any party to the Indian River County Interlocal Agreement for Coordinated Planning and School Concurrency (Interlocal Agreement), as adopted February 2008, may propose a change to the SSAB. Prior to adopting any change, the School Board will verify that as a result of the change: • As future boundary modifications are required for schools programmed in the School District Five -Year Facilities Work Program, school Attendance Boundaries shall be modified to the greatest extent possible to provide that Attendance Boundaries be coterminous with traffic analysis zone boundaries. • As long as a School Service Area is aligned with a School Attendance Zone, the School Board may unilaterally amend, without the consent or comment of any other Party, the zone's Attendance Boundaries and hence the School Service Area. Any Party may, however, propose a modification to the School Service Area Boundaries that departs from the requirement that each School Service Area be aligned solely with a School Attendance Zone. In that event, the change may only be made in accordance with the Interlocal Agreement, whichever Section is applicable. Prior to adopting any change, whether pursuant to the Interlocal Agreement, the School District must verify that as a result of the modification: • The adopted LOS standards will be achieved and maintained for each year of the five-year planning period; and the utilization of School Capacity will be maximized to the great extent 2 possible, taking into account transportation costs, court approved desegregation plans and other relevant factors. Policy 8-1.1.5: Consideration of Adjacent School Service Areas. If the projected student growth from a residential development causes the adopted LOS to be exceeded in the SSAB, an adjacent SSAB which is contiguous with and touches the boundary of the school service area within which the proposed development is located shall be evaluated for available capacity. An adjacency evaluation review shall be conducted as follows: • In conducting the adjacency review, the School Board shall first use the adjacent SSAB with the most available capacity to evaluate the projected enrollment impact and, if necessary, shall continue to the next adjacent SSAB with the next most available capacity in order to ensure maximum utilization of school capacity to the greatest extent possible. • At no time shall the shift of impact to and adjacent SSAB result in a total morning or afternoon transportation time of either elementary or secondary students to exceed fifty minutes or one hour respectively. The transportation time shall be determined by the School Board transportation routing system and measured from the school the impact is to be assigned, to the center of the parcel/plat in the amendment application, along the most direct improved public roadway free from major hazards. Policy 8-1.1.6: Coordination of School District Capital Program. The annual update of the Capital Improvements Schedule will include review of the service area boundaries for the public school system and, if necessary, updates to the concurrency service area map. Objective 8-1.2: Future Facility Planning. The City shall coordinate development permitting with the future siting of schools and capacity needs. Policy 8-1.2.1: Site Size. The City will coordinate and determine the desired location of new school sites that satisfy the minimum size criteria for the type of school. The City will work with the School Board staff to identify sites for future educational facilities that meet the minimum standards of the School Board where possible and where consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. When the size of available sites does not meet the minimum School Board standards, the City will support the School Board in efforts to use standards more appropriate to a built urban environment. The future annexations by the City shall also consider potential sites for public school facilities. Policy 8-1.2.2: City's participation in the Public School Planning Staff Working Group (PSPSWG). The City shall be represented via the various committees created through the Interlocal Agreement to coordinate new school facilities development and population projections. Policy 8-1.2.2: Capacity Impact Determination. To determine the capacity impacts of new residential development, the School Board will apply student generation multipliers consistent with those prescribed in the most recently adopted Indian River County School Board and the Department of Education (DOE) student enrollment projections. The City of Sebastian will manage coordinate the timing of comprehensive plan and future land use map amendments with adequate school capacity. 3 Objective 8-1.3: C®ncurrenCy. The City will coordinate its development review efforts with the Indian River County School Board, the County and the cities to achieve concurrency in all public school facilities concurrent with the impacts of new residential development consistent with State Statutes. Policy 8-1.3.1: Development Review Process. No new residential preliminary plats, site plans, or functional equivalents will be approved by the City of Sebastian until a School Capacity Availability Letter of Determination (SCADL) has been issued by the School Board verifying available capacity, unless the development is exempt from concurrency. Table 8-1 identifies the type of concurrency certificate required for each development order type. A Conditional SCADL is a determination that adequate school capacity is available at the time of evaluation but does not vest school capacity. If applicable, a Conditional SCADL may list feasible mitigation options that would be required of the developer to provide sufficient school capacity to vest the project. A Final SCADL vests school capacity. A Final SCADL shall not be required in conjunction with a building permit if the residential unit is already vested through a previously issued Final SCADL. Table 8-9: Concurrency Certificate Required Development Order SCADL Required Comprehensive Plan Land Use Conditional Amendments and Rezonings Conceptual Development Plans Conditional Preliminary Plats Conditional Final Site Plans and Land Development Permits for Roads, Conditional or Final Drainage and Utilities Building Permits Final Vesting Allowed No No' No' Yes Yes Vesting Required No No No No Yes Note: 9: Vesting is allowed for projects with a proportionate share agreement or an approved developer's agreement for a major roadway improvement. 2: At the time of vesting, the applicant must pay appropriate impact fees. Policy 8-1.3.2. School Concurrency Review Process. The City in coordination with the school district shall establish a school concurrency review process for all non-exempt residential projects through its land development code(LDC). The process requirements shall include at a minimum: A School Impact Analysis for residential development applications (such as a land use map amendment, rezoning, site plan or preliminary plat). The School District will review the application for available capacity and issues either a conditional SCADL or a Final SCADL. HNA Except as may be otherwise agreed upon in the Interlocal Agreement or LDC, the City shall not issue a building permit for a non-exempt residential unit unless the unit is vested for school concurrency purposes, and the City shall not vest approval of any Proposed Residential Development for such purposes until (i) confirmation is received from the School District that there is sufficient Available School Capacity to accommodate the development and (ii) impact fees have been paid. Policy 8-1.3.3: Adoption of School Concurrency Regulations. Consistent with Policy 8-1.3.2, the City of Sebastian shall adopt school concurrency and proportionate fair share provisions into its LDC or utilize Indian River County's LDC consistent with the requirements of the Interlocal Agreement. Policy 8-1.3.4: Coordination. Coordination between the City and the School District is pursuant to the Interlocal Agreement. Obligations to the City are stated in the Interlocal Agreement. Policy 8-1.3.5: Capacity Impact Determination. To determine the capacity impacts of new residential development, the School Board will apply student generation multipliers consistent with those prescribed in the most recently adopted Indian River County School Board and the Department of Education (DOE) student enrollment projections. The City of Sebastian will coordinate the timing of comprehensive plan and future land use map amendments with adequate school capacity. Policy 8-1.3.6: Notification of Submittal of Residential Applications. The City shall notify the School Board's Planner of the submittal of all residential development pre -applications or formal applications. The City shall continue to provide School Board representatives with proposed residential development agendas for pre -application conference, Development Review Committee, Local Planning Agency and City Council meetings. Policy 8-1.3.7: Exempted Residential Uses. The following residential uses shall be exempt from the requirements of school concurrency: • Lots and parcels of record legally created prior to July 1, 2008. • Any new multi -family residential development that has a final site plan approval or its functional equivalent granted prior to July 1, 2008. • Any amendment to any previously approved residential development, that does not increase the number of dwelling units or otherwise does not increase the estimated number of students generated by the development. • Any age restricted community with no permanent residents under the age of 18 (a restrictive covenant limiting the age to 18 an older will be required). Policy 8-1.3.8: Acceptable Types of Mitigation. In the event that there is not adequate Available School Capacity to support a development, the Indian River County School Board shall entertain Proportionate Mitigation options, and if accepted, shall enter into an enforceable and binding agreement with the developer and the City of Sebastian to mitigate the impact from the development. Specific guidelines are outlined in the Interlocal Agreement. Objective 8-1.4: Community Focal Point. The siting and design of school facilities should serve as focal points for the community and should be compatible with adjacent land uses. Policy 8-1,4.1: Co -location and Community Focal Point. The City shall ensure, to the extent feasible, the collocation of new school sites with parks, recreation facilities, community centers, auditoriums, learning centers, museums, performing arts centers, stadiums, libraries and other community facilities to provide access of these facilities to students. Policy 8-1.4.2: Co -location Agreement. The City may enter into an agreement with the School Board for each instance of collocation and shared use to address operating and maintenance costs, scheduling, parking, supervision and other liability issues. Policy 8-1.4.3: Allowable school site locations and compatibility standards. The compatibility of Schools with adjacent land uses will be ensured through the following measures: • New school sites should not be adjacent to any noxious industrial uses or other property from which noise, vibration, odors, dust, toxic materials, traffic conditions or other disturbances that would have a negative impact. • Schools shall be located in close proximity to existing or anticipated concentrations of residential development with the exception for high schools and specialized schools which are suitable for other locations due to their characteristics. • 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 suitable ingress and egress for pedestrians, bicycles, cars, buses, service vehicles, and emergency vehicles. (High Schools should be located with frontage or direct access to collector or arterial roads.) 0 ective 8-1.5o Coordinating Provision of Necessary Infrastructure. The City will work to ensure the provision of infrastructure to support the necessary functions of public school facilities. Policy 8-1.5.1: Maximizing Efficiency of Infrastructure. The City will maximize efficiency by taking advantage of existing and planned roads, water, sewer, parks and master drainage systems when planning for new school sites. Policy 8-1.5.2: Safe student access. The City will encourage safe student access by coordinating the construction of new and expanded neighborhoods with safe road and sidewalk connections to schools. Policy 8-1.5.3: Bicycle access and Pedestrian connection. The City will coordinate bicycle access to public schools consistent with any existing or proposed bicycle plan in the City or County, see multi- modal policies in the Transportation & Mobility Element. Policy 8-1.5.4: Coordination to ensure necessary off-site improvements. New developments adjacent to existing or planned public schools shall be required where feasible to provide right-of-way for pedestrian connections to the schools from the neighborhood's sidewalk network. Sebastian will revise its LDC to specify that performance standards for a new development adjacent to or sharing an access road with an existing school or future school site shall mitigate the traffic impacts of the development based on safe access to the school. Such mitigation efforts may include, but are not limited to: developer striping of crosswalks, developer installation of sidewalks, payment for safe directional/warning signage, and payment for signalization. Policy 8-1.5.5: Intergovernmental Coordination. Specific Objectives and Policies regarding intergovernmental coordination and this Element are provided and identified in the Governance & Implementation Element. DATA INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS Introduction Pursuant to the requirements of Chapter 163 of the 2019 Florida Statutes, the Public Schools Element consists of a data inventory and analysis that influences the overarching goals, objectives, and policies that ensure that public school facilities are provided in a timely manner in the City of Sebastian. The Public Schools Element recognizes schools as the cornerstones of community planning and design. Policies contained within the Element seek to promote and optimize intergovernmental cooperation for effective operation of the public school system. School Concurrency Process School concurrency ensures coordination between local governments and school boards in planning and permitting developments that affect school capacity and utilization rates. The Indian River County School Board, Indian River County Board of County Commissioners, City of Sebastian, and 3 other municipalities entered into an Interlocal Agreement in 2008, addressing the coordination of public school facilities. In 2011, the Florida Legislature adopted the Community Planning Act, which changed school concurrency from mandatory to optional. If implemented, the statutes provide standards for adopting an interlocal agreement and comprehensive plan amendments. The City has opted to maintain school concurrency and will continue to meet the state statutory requirements. The Public School Planning Staff Working Group (PSPSWG) is comprised of staff representing each of the signatories to the Interlocal Agreement and was created to discuss and develop recommendations regarding the coordination of land use and school facilities planning. The specific areas of concern identified by PSPSWG include school capacity and level of service (LOS), population and student projections, development trends, school facilities planning and school service area boundaries, co -location and joint use opportunities, and infrastructure improvements needed to support schools and safe student access. In addition to the PSPSWG, the following committees were also established to evaluate and provide input on public school planning issues and activities. Staff Working Group Committee (SWG) consisting of the elected official and their designees. Elected Official Oversight Committee (EOOC) consisting of the County Commission Chairman, the mayors of Vero Beach, Sebastian, Indian River Shores and Fellsmere, the Regional Planning Council Chairman, the School Board Chairman, or designated representatives. Citizens Oversight Committee (COC) consisting of six citizens appointed by the School Board, the County, the Town of Indian River Shores, and the Cities of Fellsmere, Sebastian and Vero Beach. Each jurisdiction or entity has appointed one member to this committee. The committees meet several times annually and report to the participating municipalities, the School Board and the County as well as the general public. The meetings ensure that the Interlocal Agreement between the County, the School Board, and the municipalities is implemented in a timely and efficient manner. The meetings are advertised to the public with an opportunity for public participation. Existing Conditions Existing conditions are used to understand relationships between public school facilities, city level demographics and residential development activity. This section will identify historical and existing public school facility enrollment and capacity trends, city level population trends and recent residential development trends. Existing Public School Facilities When an application for residential development is reviewed by the City of Sebastian for concurrency, the City evaluates the geographic service area, known as a school service areas (SSA), in which the LOS is measured. School concurrency is measured and applied on a less than district -wide basis using SSA's. The School District applies school concurrency using School Attendance Zones, as the School Concurrency Areas. Each school attendance zone becomes its own SSA. The SSA boundaries for Elementary Schools, Middle Schools, and High Schools are shown on Maps 8-1 through 8-3. The City of Sebastian's students are currently served by five (5) total SSA's including three (3) elementary SSA's, one (1) middle SSA and one (1) high school SSA. The five SSA's currently serving Sebastian comprises only a portion of the entire Indian River County School District. Sebastian Elementary School and Pelican Island Elementary School are located within the City of Sebastian. All of the other schools serving Sebastian residents are located outside of the City limits. Table 8-2 identifies the five (5) public SSA boundaries common to City of Sebastian.

Charter schools are funded by the State and are monitored by both the School Board and State for compliance with the charter and student achievement goals. There are currently five charter schools in Indian River County including Imagine Charter School, Sebastian Charter Junior High, North County Charter Elementary, St. Peter's Academy Elementary and Indian River Charter High. The charter schools are public schools focusing on character development, academic achievement, career preparation, cultural awareness and exceptional student education to individuals with specific learning need. The charter schools and adult schools are not included in the LOS concurrency review calculations for future residential development. Table 8-3 identifies the charter schools and adult schools located in the County.

Changes in land use that result in increased residential density increase population. Increases in population are not evenly distributed throughout the City of Sebastian or Indian River County and need to be closely evaluated in order to determine the location or enrollment capacity of a new public school facility. 10 Historical Population Statistics Past population data was taken from the US Census Bureau and Florida Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR). The City of Sebastian has experienced a continuous increase in population growth. Population totals from 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2019 are listed in Table 8-4 and can be used to identify historical changes in population growth. As shown in the table, the Census recorded an increase from 1990 to 2000 of 5,976, or 58.5%. The estimated increase from 2010 to 2019 is 3,239, or 15%.

Table 8-5 identifies the population by age from the 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2017 Census data. School age children ranging from 5 to 18 years old have shown an increase from 1990 to 2017 of 1,437 children. As shown in the same table, the total population has increased by 13,718 residents during that time period. In 1990, the school age population was 15.8% of the total. In 2017, the school age population was 12.8% of the total population.

Funding for Schools Facilities The School District must rely on multiple revenue sources to fund the new construction, renovation and maintenance needs identified in its 5 -Year Capital Facilities Plan. The funding is made available from both State and Local sources. The primary funding source for the Indian River County Capital Facilities Plan is derived from property taxes, impact fees and bonds. These typical sources of revenue are identified below. • Property Tax — Florida Statutes allows School Districts to levy up to 2 mils to fund capital improvement programs for public schools. • Sales Tax — Citizen voted, local option sales tax revenue generated by Indian River County residents, business owners and tourists may be used for public school projects. • Bonds — The school district may also sell bonds or offer certificates of participation (COP). • State Class Size Reduction — The recent legislative mandates have provided additional state funding for smaller class sizes and early childhood education. This source is not fixed and can change annually as determined by the State Legislature. • PECO — The utility Public Education Capital Outlay fund is derived from State gross receipts tax revenue and may be used for expansion projects for student stations. This source of revenue is not fixed and can change annually as determined by the State Legislature. • Impact Fees — New residential development in Indian River County is required to provide public school impact fees to offset a portion of the cost associated with the students generated by the development. • CO&DS Bonds — The Capital Outlay and Debt Service funds derived from the motor vehicle license tax may be used for expansion projects for student stations. This revenue source may include funds from bonded CO&DS revenue. 13 The School Board may also receive other revenues from undesignated sources, such as new development, land dedication or donations but these sources do not provide constant and predictable revenue. The City of Sebastian does not impose its own impact fee, but it does extract public school facilities impact fees for Indian River County as a whole and pass through to the school board. Indian River County's impact fees are identified in Table 8-8. In 2006, the School District commissioned a study of student generation rates. This study used GIS technology to assign the home address for every student enrolled in the School District in 2005 to the nearest residential parcel in the Property Appraiser's data base. Each student was assigned one of three housing types: single- family, multi -family or mobile home. Then the number of students in each housing type was divided by the existing number of dwelling units shown in the Property Appraiser data for that housing type, reduced by ten percent to reflect an average 90 percent vacancy rate. In 2007, Indian River County commissioned a study to evaluate the current impact fees.

Note: 2020 Proposed Rates Are Pending Impact Fee Study approval. Note: Information is consistent with the Interlocal Agreement adopted in February 2008. Coordination Mechanisms A SWG, an EOOC, a PSPSWG, and a COC have been assembled to facilitate coordination between the Indian River County School Board, the City of Sebastian, Indian River County and other jurisdictions in the County. Committee descriptions and meeting dates are listed in Table 8-9.

Note: Information is consistent with the Interlocal Agreement adopted in February 2008. Analysis Residential development impacts the students and the school facilities because increases in new student enrollment can place demands on school capacity and cause overcrowding of facilities. Therefore, this section focuses on projected school capacity, student enrollment and the ability to accommodate the growth. The City adopts by reference the Indian River County School District Education Facilities Survey dated June 2018 as well as the Indian River County School District 2019— 2020 Work Plan adopted October 22, 2019, and the Indian River County Interlocal Agreement for Coordinated Planning and School Concurrency dated March 1, 2008. Existing Deficiencies An analysis of existing deficiencies was conducted below by reviewing enrollment capacities and utilization rates. Enrollment Capacity To determine the percentage over or under capacity within Sebastian that a school is currently operating at, the current enrollment is compared to the permanent FISH capacity as shown in Table 8-10. Table 8-10: Enrollment Surplus/Deficiency Current OOTE Number of Stations Percentage Type of Facility Name FISH C 9 (overlunder over/under School Capacity OFTcapacity) capacity 15 Elementary Beachland I 580 478 102 82% Elementary Citrus Elementary 892 700 192 78% I Dodgertown I Elementary 383 201 ° 66/o 584 Fellsmere Elementary 787 556 231 71% Glendale 702 575 127 82% Elementary Indian River Academy 604 426 178 71 Liberty Magnet 666 538 128 81% Elementary Osceola Magnet 557 531 26 95% Elementary Pelican Island Elementary 654 393 261 60% Rosewood 543 538 5 99% Elementary Sebastian I Elementary 637 403 234 63% Treasure Coast Elementary 799 657 142 82% Vero Beach I _ 796 589 207 74% Elementary 16 Gifford Middle 1022 669 353 65% Oslo Middle 1026 891 135 87% Middle Sebastian River Middle 1145 933 212 81% *w/Portables Sebastian River 2318 1844 474 80% High igh Vero Beach High 2861 2714 147 95% 113 Alternative 157 44 28% Education Center Other Wabasso School 81 75 6 93% Source: Indian County School Board, Educational Facilities Survey June 2098, Work Plan 2019-2020 Note: Information is consistent with the Interlocal Agreement adopted in February 2008. Utilization Rates Based upon the data and analysis for school enrollment, the utilization rate of the elementary schools is calculated by taking the average of the utilization rates for all the elementary schools in the school districts. The same method was used to calculate the utilization rates of middle and high schools. Level ®f Service LOS is expressed as a ratio of enrollment and capacity, with capacity being number of student stations. Projected future demand, needed capacity, available financial resources to construct additional capacity are the factors that are used as a basis to establish LOS standards. The Indian River County School Board has adopted a LOS of 100% of permanent FISH capacity. Tables 8-11 and 8-12 show the 5 -year enrollment projections and utilization rates of the schools serving the City of Sebastian. Sebastian River Middle School serving the City will have enrollment near the permanent capacity. However, programmed improvements have been identified. After the completion of the identified programmed improvements, none of the schools serving the City are projected to be over capacity in the short- term planning horizon. Based on the above analysis, the City of Sebastian is adopting LOS Standards of 100% of the FISH capacity for each year of the five year planning period and throughout the long term planning period for each School Service Area. 17 Future Demand for School Facilities The projected demand on school facilities in the future is determined by evaluating several factors, such as population projections, enrollment projections and student generator multipliers. Enrollment Projections Projections of enrollment for 2019-20 to 2029-30. is prepared by the Florida Department of Education's Capital Outlay FTE Forecast. The enrollment projections for the school facilities serving the City of Sebastian for the 5 - year planning horizon are shown in Table 8-11 and Table 8-12. The School Board's 5 -year district facilities work program (2019 - 2020) has programmed an addition for construction during the 5- year horizon. Table 8- 13 and Table 8-14 identify the 5 -year capital projects schedule for the entire school district. The Sebastian River Middle school will receive a capacity addition, increasing its FISH permanent capacity from 1,007 to 1,245 by 2024. In addition to the above improvements for new public school facilities and capacity additions planned by the School Board, new residential development must be required to pay the cost of its impacts on the school system.

Note: Information is consistent with the Interlocal Agreement adopted in February 2008. Student Generation Rates To determine the impact of proposed residential development and population growth it is important to determine student generation rates by type of school. The number of students living in a housing unit varies depending on the type of residential housing. To calculate a student generation rate (multiplier), the total number of students (by school type) was divided by the total number of occupied dwelling units by residential type. Table 8-15 identifies the student generation rates by elementary, middle and high school, as well as by residence type of single family, multi -family or mobile home. The total column identifies the total number of students estimated to be generated by each residential unit type, regardless of type of school. Consequently, the number of students associated with a development can be calculated by applying the multiplier to the developments proposed number and type of residential housing units. The projected number of students is the product of the development units multiplied by the total student generation multiplier for the residence type.

Financial Feasibility The 5 -Year Capital Improvement Schedule provides the foundation of an annual planning process that allows the School District to effectively address changing enrollment patterns and new development, as well as the facility requirements of a qualitative education system. The School District's capital improvements program does not require county or city funding, however, coordination is critical. The total revenue summary for all capital improvements in the Indian River County School District are identified in Table 8-16. The revenue sources are adequate to fund the projects identified in the 5 -Year Capital Improvement Plan, The School District's 5 -Year Capital Improvements Schedule is financially feasible and any 22 NOM[ Oi PEIKA'1 applicable components have been adopted as a policy into the City of Sebastian's Governance & Implementation Element.

Proportionate Share litigation If adequate school capacity is not available to meet the adopted LOS, the City of Sebastian may request proportionate share mitigation and, if accepted, shall enter into an enforceable and binding agreement with the School Board and developer to mitigate the student generation impact from the subject development through contribution to a School District approved capacity project. If a capacity project does not exist, the School Board may add a capacity project to satisfy the impacts from the subject development. Mitigation options may include, but are not limited to the following: • Land Donation/Dedication; • Build a School; and/or Buy portable classroom units; and Improve infrastructure to school. Coordination Effectiveness The Interlocal Agreement was adopted on February 28, 2008. The 2008/2009 school year was the first year to implement the agreement. Since the agreement functions to proactively plan for long term growth and coordination, it will be necessary to complete the annual reviews to monitor the progress of its effectiveness. Indian River County School Board developed "A Strategic Plan — School Year 2017-2022." It is an aggressive plan to ensure "Excellence and Equity throughout the school district." This document is intended to serve as a model of collaboration. The strategic plan has 5 goals followed by several objectives and strategies. Some of the goals are as follow: • Goal 1- Student Success — PERFORMANCE: Every student receives a high quality education this is grounded in high expectations, personalized to meet his/her needs and interests, and backed by the necessary learning supports. • Goal 2- Culture & Climate — SAFE AND ORDERLY SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT: Staff and students thrive in positive learning and work environments where they feel safe, supported and celebrated. • Goal 3 — High Quality Workforce — TALENT: Employees are at the heart of our students' success, and we will attract, support, and retain a high quality workforce. The implementation of the Strategic Plan along with the Interlocal Agreement will serve to guide collaboration and coordination efforts amongst the School District, jurisdictions, school departments, school faculty and the parents and students. Co-location/Community Focal Points The two education facilities located that are located within the City's limit, Sebastian Elementary School and Pelican Island Elementary School, have basic recreational facilities located on their school sites. An analysis was also conducted to determine the potential for co -locating future school sites in Sebastian to maximize the quality of education and allow the schools to strategically locate to serve as focal points within the community. The City of Sebastian coordinated with the School Board and there are no plans at this time for the location of future school sites within the City in either the short term or long term planning horizons. The City will continue 24 to plan for potential future sites. When this occurs, the City will inform the School Board through the School Working Group about potential school site opportunities that would be beneficial to the community. Public Services for Schools The two public educational facilities that are located within the City's limits, Sebastian Elementary School and Pelican Island Elementary School, have been analyzed regarding any deficiencies related to public services. Both of these facilities are served with potable water and sewer. The facilities have sidewalk connections to the adjacent communities. There are no drainage problems at either facility. The roads that serve the two are currently providing adequate access to both facilities. The City's fire department and police department have stations within adequate distance to service both schools regarding any emergencies, To provide enrollment relief in the North County Area, the School Board has proposed a new classroom building addition at Sebastian River Middle School. 25 A. 8. PUBLIC SCHOOLS ELEMENT GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES GOAL 8-1: PROVIDE QUALITY EDUCATION. As a basic tenet of community life, it is the goal of the City of Sebastian to contribute to a high quality public school environment and diverse education system. Objective 8-1.1: LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARDS. The City shall coordinate with the se-heelSchool District of Indian River County (aka school board) to correct existing deficiencies and address future needs through implementation of adopted level of service standards and appropriate public school facility service area boundaries. Policy 8-1.1.1: Adoption of Level of Service Standards (LOS). The City of Sebastian adopts LOS of 100% of FISH capacity for each year of the five year planning periods and through the long term planning period for each School Service Area. Policy 8-1.1.2: Use of Level of Service Standards. The City shall use its concurrency management system to ensure that the level of service standard that has been established by the school district for each type of school is maintained. Policy 8-1.1.3: Adoption of School Service Area Boundaries (SSAB). The City of Sebastian adopts the School Board's current public school attendance boundaries, as the School Service Area Boundaries (SSAB). The SSAB exclude magnet and charter schools. Policy 8-1.1.4: Guidelines and Standards for the Modification of Concurrency Service Areas. Any Party to the ;kQQR Indian River County Interlocal Agreement for Publie Sehmel fmcili%, Coordinated Planning and School Concurrency (Interlocal Ai reement), as adopted February 2008, may propose a change to the SSAB. Prior to adopting any change, the School Board will verify that as a result of the change: • As future boundary modifications are required for schools programmed in the School District Five -Year Facilities Work Program, school Attendance Boundaries shall be modified to the greatest extent possible to provide that Attendance Boundaries be coterminous with traffic analysis zone boundaries. • As long as a School Service Area is aligned with a School Attendance Zone, the School Board may unilaterally amend, without the consent or comment of any other Party, the zone's Attendance Boundaries and hence the School Service Area. Any Party may, however, propose a modification to the School Service Area Boundaries that departs from the requirement that each School Service Area be aligned solely with a School Attendance Zone. In that event, the change may only be made in accordance with semi^^ 1-2 ^r ".2 of the lRdian DiVeF Geunty Interlocal Agreement fer Geer'i^a P!2ne.ira , (Mareh 1, 2904, whichever Section is applicable.
