Chapter 163, Part II, F.S., requires local governments to prepare and adopt Work Plans into their comprehensive plans within 18 months after the water management district approves a regional water supply plan or its update. The Central Springs/East Coast (CS/EC) Water Supply Plan was approved by the St John's Florida Water Management District (SJWMD) on February 8, 2022. Therefore, the deadline for local governments within the Lower East Coast jurisdiction to amend their comprehensive plans to adopt a Work Plan is August 8, 2023. Sebastian is the largest City in Indian River County and is bordered by both the St. Sebastian River and the Indian River Lagoon. The City of Sebastian receives potable water service directly from the Indian River County Utilities Department, which is responsible for ensuring that enough capacity is available for existing and future customers. While the City is not responsible for any of their potable water infrastructure, they make up nearly a tenth of the Sebastian River Watershed and have a direct impact on water resources in the region. Stormwater runoff from this area makes its way to the Indian River Lagoon, a primary surface water basin in the CS/EC region. The City of Sebastian Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (Work Plan) will reference the initiatives identified in the City's Comprehensive Plan 2040, adopted June 2021, as well as initiatives identified by Indian River County. According to state guidelines, the Work Plan and the corresponding comprehensive plan amendment must address the development of traditional and alternative water supplies, bulk sales agreements and conservation and reuse programs that are necessary to serve existing and new development for at least a 10-year planning period. The City of Sebastian Work Plan will have the same planning time schedule as Indian River County's 20-year Work Plan and the CS/EC Water Supply Plan Update. The City's Work Plan is divided into five sections: Section 1 — Introduction Section 2 — Background Information Section 3 — Data and Analysis Section 4 — Work Plan Projects/Capital Improvement Element/Schedule Section 5 — Goals, Objectives, Policies 1.1 Statutory History The Florida Legislature has enacted bills in the 2002, 2004, 2005, and 2011 sessions to address the state's water supply needs. These bills, especially Senate Bills 360 and 444 (2005 legislative session), significantly changed Chapter 163 and 373 Florida Statutes (F.S.) by strengthening the statutory links between the regional water supply plans prepared by the water management districts and the comprehensive plans prepared by local governments. In addition, these bills established the basis for improving coordination between the local land use planning and water supply planning. August 4, 2023 City of Sebastian Water Supply Facilities Work Plan 1.2 Statutory Requirements Each local government must comply with the following requirements: 1. Coordinate appropriate aspects of its comprehensive plan with the appropriate water management district's regional water supply plan, [163.3177(4)(a), F.S.] 2. Ensure that its future land use plan is based upon availability of adequate water supplies and public facilities and services [s.163.3177(6)(a), F.S., effective July 1, 2005]. Data and analysis demonstrating that adequate water supplies and associated public facilities will be available to meet projected growth demands must accompany all proposed Future Land Use Map amendments submitted to the Department for review. 3. Ensure that adequate water supplies and facilities are available to serve new development no later than the date on which the local government anticipates issuing a certificate of occupancy and consult with the applicable water supplier prior to approving building permit, to determine whether adequate water supplies will be available to serve the development by the anticipated issuance date of the certificate of occupancy [s.163.3180 (2)(a), F.S., effective July 1, 2005]. This "water supply concurrency" is now in effect, and local governments should be complying with the requirement for all new development proposals. In addition, local governments should update their comprehensive plans and land development regulations as soon as possible to address these statutory requirements. The latest point at which the comprehensive plan must be revised to reflect the concurrency requirements is at the time the local government adopts plan amendments to implement the recommendations of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR). 4. For local governments subject to a regional water supply plan, revise the General Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water, and Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Element (the "Infrastructure Element"), within 18 months after the water management district approves an updated regional water supply plan, to: a. Identify and incorporate the alternative water supply project(s) selected by the local government from projects identified in the CS/EC Regional Water Supply Plan, or the alternative project proposed by the local government under s. 373.0361(7), F.S. [s. 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.]; b. Identify the traditional and alternative water supply projects, bulk sales agreements, and the conservation and reuse programs necessary to meet current and future water use demands within the CS/EC Regional Water Supply Plan [s. 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.]; and c. Update the work plan for at least a 10-year planning period for constructing the public, private, and regional water supply facilities identified in the element as necessary to serve existing and new development. [s. 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.] Amendments to incorporate the water supply facilities work plan into the comprehensive plan are exempt from the twice -a -year amendment limitation. [s. 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.] August 4, 2023 K City of Sebastian Water Supply Facilities Work Plan 5. Revise the Five -Year Schedule of Capital Improvements to include any water supply, reuse, and conservation projects and programs to be implemented during the five-year period. [s. 163.3177(3)(a)4, F.S.] 6. To the extent necessary to maintain internal consistency after making changes described in Paragraph 1 through 5 above, revise the Conservation Element to assess projected water needs and sources for at least a 10-year planning period, considering the CS/EC Regional Water Supply Plan, the applicable District Water Management Plan, as well as applicable consumptive use permit(s). [s.163.3177 (6)(d), F.S.] If the established planning period of a comprehensive plan is greater than ten years, the plan must address the water supply sources necessary to meet and achieve the existing and projected water use demand for established planning period, considering the appropriate regional water supply plan. [s.163.3167 (13), F.S.] 7. To the extent necessary to maintain internal consistency after making changes described in Paragraphs 1 through 5 above, revise the Intergovernmental Coordination Element to ensure coordination of the comprehensive plan with CS/EC Regional Water Supply Plan and regional water supply authorities' plans. [s.163.3177(6)(h)l., F.S.] 8. Address in the EAR, the extent to which the local government has implemented the 10-year water supply facilities work plan, including the development of alternative water supplies, and determine whether the identified alternative water supply projects, traditional water supply projects, bulk sales agreements, and conservation and reuse programs are meeting local water use demands. [s.163.3191 (2)(1), F.S.] 2.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION 2.1 Overview The City of Sebastian was incorporated in 1924, and it is the largest City in Indian River County. Per the Comprehensive Plan 2040 ("Comprehensive Plan"), the City is composed of approximately 11,640 acres sectioned into the following land use types: Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Institutional, Government, Agriculture, Conservation, and Mixed Use. See Figure 1 on page 6 for the most recent version of the Future Land Use Map ("FLUM"), published April 2023. Consistent with the adopted Comprehensive Plan, the City supports a permanent resident population on 25,658 with a limited influence from seasonal residents. 2.2 Relevant Regional Issues Population in the SJRWMD is expected to increase by 30% by 2040, as discussed in the CS/EC RWSP. One of the areas contributing to the largest percentage increase is Indian River County. This trend also translates to the local level. Sebastian is experiencing its own growth spurt, which is expected to slightly outpace Indian River County for the duration of this WSWP planning horizon. Water supply, conservation, and resource development projects will be critical to protect and promote healthy water bodies as the population grows. • Water Supply — An important part of the CSEC RWSP process is identifying water supply development project options necessary to meet the anticipated water needs of August 4, 2023 3 City of Sebastian Water Supply Facilities Work Plan the planning area through the 2040 planning horizon. While water users are not limited to the projects listed in the CSEC RWSP, the provided lists represent a set of projects that could supply a sufficient quantity of water to meet the projected water demands if implemented. The CSEC RWSP states that alternative water supply sources need to be explored. The CSEC has reviewed multiple projects that could increase the water quantity in Brevard, Indian River and Okeechobee counties by 29.2 million gallons per day (mgd). Water Conservation - Estimates for the CSEC RWSP area show the high estimate of 2040 water conservation potential at 38.2 mgd at a cost of approximately $63.0 million. Forty-one water conservation projects have been completed or are currently underway in the CSEC RWSP area, providing an estimated savings of 3.1 mgd of water at a total cost of $6.7 million. Implementing additional projects to meet the high conservation potential for an additional 35.1 mgd of savings may be a more cost- effective option than implementing some of the water supply and water resource development projects discussed above. However, SJRWMD anticipates that a conservation only strategy will not offset the predicted shortfall in fresh groundwater supplies. Water Resource Development Projects - Water resource development projects provide regional benefits and are typically implemented directly by the Districts or by the Districts in conjunction with other agencies or local governments (ss. 373.705(1)(a), F.S.). These include projects that increase the amount of water available for water supply, collect and analyze data for water supply planning, and study the feasibility and benefits of new techniques. 3.0 DATA AND ANALYSIS The intent of the data and analysis section of the Work Plan is to describe information the City needs to provide to state planning and regulatory agencies as part of their proposed Comprehensive Plan amendments, particularly those revising the FLUM to increase density and intensity. 3.1 Population Information Population and demand projections are the basis for planning the future of potable water supply. Population and demand projections in this document are consistent with the master planning efforts and Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan standardizes the source of the population projection data and the methods used to calculate the water demand projections, incorporating population information from Indian River County, the University of Florida Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEER), the Florida Housing Data Clearing House and the 2020 Census. The functional population of the City is a combination of permanent and seasonal residents. The permanent residential population was estimated using BEBR population projections for Indian River County. This data was also used to model growth in the City over the next 10 years. The City has historically represented 16-18 percent of the population in Indian River County. Population projections are further discussed and tabulated in Section 3.4. August 4, 2023 4 City of Sebastian Water Supply Facilities Work Plan 3.2 Maps of Current and Future Areas Served A map of the City's Future Annexation Areas are provided in Figure 2 below. The City of Sebastian has accounted for planned, voluntary annexations along the boundary of the current City limits. The majority of the annexations are along its southern border, however the City does anticipate growth in all directions as is illustrated in Figure 2. The City has grown in area from 8,392 acres in 2020 to 11,640 acres in 2023. As more land is annexed, the City's population will grow and water demands will increase as a result. Because the entirety of the City of Sebastian is provided water service by Indian River County, there should be no change to the overall water demands within the County service boundary related to the City's population growth from annexations.

The City is in the North County Service Area, receiving water from the North County Water Treatment Plant which treats water from the Upper Floridan Aquifer using reverse osmosis. The County is in the process of converting their Roseland Tank to a storage and repump station that will improve pressure to the North Sebastian area. Historic demands are based on meter billing data provided by Indian River County. Sebastian averaged an annual average day demand of 1.59 mgd in 2018. The corresponding historic population for this year, based on Florida Housing Data Clearinghouse (FHDC), is 25,668. The resulting historic per -capita demand is approximately 62 gallons per day (gpd). Based on an occupancy rate of 2.23 persons per equivalent residential unit (ERU), the City's historic potable water demand is 138 gpd/ERU. This number does not account for unmetered uses or unaccounted for losses throughout the water distribution system within City limits. The current level of service (LOS) differs significantly from the County's adopted LOS of 250 gpd/ERU reported in the Indian River County Comprehensive Plan. 3.4 Population and Potable Water Demand Projections Population projections for the City of Sebastian are presented in Table 1. These projections were previously reported in the City's 2040 Comprehensive Plan and were determined using a combination of FHDC data, BEBR data, and information from the US Census Bureau. As previously stated, Sebastian has historically represented 16-18% of Indian River County's population, though this is anticipated to change due to voluntary annexations discussed in Section 3.2. The projections also account for the City's land use designations in the FLUM, Figure 1, and the current amount of vacant residential land within the area to estimate the future population of the City. Table 1: City of Sebastian Functional Population Projections, 2040 Comprehensive Plan City of Sebastian Indian River County Sebastian Year -- - - - Share of Indian Population Growth Rate Population Growth Rate River County Population 2010 21,929 - 138,028 16% 2016 23,735 8% 146,410 6% 16% 2020 25,658 8% 157,600 8% 16% 2025 28,562 11 % 170,000 8% 17% 2030 30,806 8% 180,200 6% 17% 2035 32,757 6% 188,200 4% 17% 2040 34,567 6% 195,000 4% 18% At the time of this analysis, there were 24 different active developer applications at varying stages in the process from site plan review to construction, equating to approximately 1,023 ERUs, or 2,282 people. These units are estimated to come online prior to 2035. This uptick in growth shown from years 2025-2035 is consistent with anticipated trends at the time of development of the City's 2040 Comprehensive Plan, which was formally adopted on June 23, 2021. August 4, 2023 10 City of Sebastian Water Supply Facilities Work Plan Potable water demand projections were determined by applying the historic per capita use rate of 62 gpd to the population projections presented in Table 2. Max Day Demands were determined by applying a factor of 1.4 to the calculated AADF.

The City has no plans to provide potable water to its residents or other local governments in the region. The City entered into the interlocal agreement with the County in January 1987, a copy of which is provided in Attachment A. 3.6 Water Supply Provided by Other Entities As previously identified, potable water supply is provided to the City by Indian River County. The City has no financial or operational and maintenance responsibility of the County's system. The County maintains meter billing data for addresses within the City limits to identify and track potable water demands, which are then incorporated in the County's WSWP. 3.7 Conservation The City's Sustainable Sebastian Program was adopted by Resolution in 2019 and enabled the formation of a Natural Resources Board with the following mission: "To improve the quality of life in Sebastian by nurturing the balanced relationship between our citizens and our environment by protecting, preserving, and promoting our natural resources." A 5-year Action Plan is centered around six initiatives that support the mission. The plan extends to multiple City Departments, non-profit organizations, the City's Chamber of Commerce, and the Indian River County Solid Waste Disposal District. A copy of this plan is provided in the Appendix, section 7.1. The implementation of the Sustainable Sebastian Program and Action Plan plays a direct role in water conservation and health of the Indian River Lagoon. Additionally, applicable conservation efforts described in the Indian River County 2030 Comprehensive Plan (revised 2016) which have an impact on the City are listed below. POLICY 4.1: The county shall require the use of irrigation quality (I.Q.) effluent meeting FDEP standards for irrigation in parks and facilities having significant open space areas (golf courses, medians, etc.) when those areas are located within the County Utilities Department service area and are within 1 mile of the nearest effluent reuse line. Reuse must be authorized by the appropriate regulatory agencies. When a project meets the above criteria, the developer shall be required to construct an effluent reuse line for treated wastewater to be used for spray irrigation. August 4, 2023 �7 City of Sebastian Water Supply Facilities Work Plan POLICY 4.4: The county shall renew its annual contract with the SJRWMD to identify and require property owners to plug or valve free flowing artesian wells. POLICY 4.5: The county shall encourage home builders to participate in the SJRWMD's Florida Water Star Program by expediting review of their permits. POLICY 4.6: The county's water pricing system shall continue to be equitable, but shall continue to charge an exponentially increasing unit rate for high volume residential users (those using more than three times the Level of Service standard established in policy 1.3). POLICY 4.7: To quickly and efficiently respond to any leakage, the county shall continue to implement its leak detection program. POLICY 4.8: The county shall require all new subdivisions and projects of 25 or more lots/units that are within a'/ mile of an effluent reuse line to connect to the effluent reuse line. When a project meets above criteria, developer shall be required to construct an effluent reuse line. POLICY 4.9: By 2013, the Utilities Department shall review its current pricing plans to further discourage excessive water use and to provide incentives to customers for saving water. 3.7.1 City -Specific Issues 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. The City encourages citizens and businesses to engage in water conservation efforts through a variety of programs within the City. Such as the City's Stonmwater Fee Credit Program which rewards businesses who maintain green infrastructure and low impact development practices with reduced fees for stormwater utilities. The City of Sebastian, along with other local governments is required to manage storm water under the Federal Clean Water Act's NPDES discharge permit which establishes guidelines for municipalities to minimize pollutants in storm water runoff to the "maximum extent practicable." The City of Sebastian adopted an Ordinance No. 0-13-11 implementing an urban Stormwater quality management and discharge control program to reduce pollutant discharges into the City's stormwater system in compliance with the Federal Clean Water Act. 3.8 Reuse State law supports reuse efforts. Florida's utilities, local governments, and water management districts have led the nation in the quantity of reclaimed water reused and public acceptance of reuse programs. Section 373.250(1) F.S. provides "the encouragement and promotion of water conservation and reuse of reclaimed water, as defined by the department, are state August 4, 2023 iul City of Sebastian Water Supply Facilities Work Plan objectives and considered to be in the public interest." In addition, Section 403.064(1), F.S., states "reuse is a critical component of meeting the state's existing and future water supply needs while sustaining natural systems." The City does not own or maintain any reuse infrastructure. Reuse and wastewater services are provided in the same interlocal agreement with Indian River County as previously mentioned for potable water. This interlocal agreement started January 1987 and a copy of this has been provided in Attachment A. The following Policy enables such agreements to manage the wastewater and reuse facilities in the city. Policy 4-1.1.1: Coordination • The City shall coordinate with Indian River County Utility Department (IRCUD) to provide water and wastewater facilities that comply with adopted level of service (LOS) and capacity standards that are established by the IRCUD; and LOS standards are provided in Policies 4-1.1.2 and 4-1.1.3 accordingly. The City understands the importance of converting septic tanks to centralized sewer services as applicable and shall continue to support the implementation of the Sebastian CRA Septic to Sewer Conversion Program and the Indian River County initiatives to expand sanitary sewer services within the City such as the North Sebastian Septic to Sewer Phase 2 Project. 4.0 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS The City's Fiscal Budget is approved yearly by the City Council and includes various projects intended to improve storm water quality in the City, and maintain existing storm water ponds, ditches, and culverts. The details about these projects and spending breakdowns can be found in the Appendix section 7.2 at the end of this document. 5.0 GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES The following goals, objectives, and policies (GOPs) from the City's Comprehensive Plan have been revised and reviewed for consistency with the Work Plan: Goal 1-2: Growth Management. The City shall ensure that the character and location of land uses incorporate best management practices and principles of resource conservation, promote orderly land use transition, and minimize threats to health, safety, and welfare while encouraging economic stability to keep pace with the City's growth. Objective 1-2.2: Prevent Proliferation of Urban Sprawl. The City shall continue to maintain LDCs which include performance standards ensuring that the location, scale, timing, and design of development shall be coordinated with public facilities and services in order to prevent the proliferation of urban sprawl, maximize public infrastructure, and achieve cost effective land development patterns. Policy 1-2.2.2: Resource Protection August 4, 2023 11 City of Sebastian Water Supply Facilities Work Plan • The City shall seek to maintain and manage the City's natural and man-made resources by establishing a pattern of development that is harmonious with the City's natural environment and quality of life. Policy 1-2.2.8: Developments Not Served by Public Water and/or Wastewater Systems. All developments in areas not serviced by public water and/or wastewater systems shall be governed by applicable State laws and administrative regulations. In those cases where public wastewater systems are not currently available, the City will work with the County and applicable regional and state agencies to convert those areas through a "septic to sewer' program or similar, where such infrastructure is available and financially feasible. Goal 4-1: Provide Public Infrastructure to Meet Existing and Projected Needs. Ensure the availability of needed public facilities and services to meet existing and projected demands in a manner which protects investments in existing facilities, maximizes their use, effectively manages growth, and maintains environmental quality. Objective 4-1.1: Ensure Available Public Facilities and Prevent Urban Sprawl. The City of Sebastian shall maintain the land development code (LDC) to include performance standards requiring that requisite public facilities be provided concurrent with the impacts of new development. The LDC shall include a concurrency management program consistent with the Governance & Implementation Element and Land Use Element. The LDC shall maintain provisions by which all new development is required to connect to central potable water and wastewater systems, and provisions by which approval of the Indian River County Public Health Department is required where no central wastewater service is available. The City's regulatory system shall ensure that existing and planned public facilities shall be used to the maximum feasible extent in order to: • Achieve economy of scale; • Promote compact growth; and • Prevent urban sprawl. Policy 4-1.1.2: LOS Standards • The following LOS standards are hereby adopted specific to potable water, wastewater, drainage, and solid waste, and shall be used as the basis for determining the availability of facility capacity and the demand generated by a development. Level of Service standards related to both transportation and recreation are addressed in Policy 2-2.3.2 and Policy 6-1.1.1 respectively. o a. Sanitary Sewer: 250 gallons per day per equivalent residential unit. o b. Potable Water: 250 gallons per day per equivalent residential unit. August 4, 2023 iP: City of Sebastian Water Supply Facilities Work Plan o c. Drainage Facilities: 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. o d. Solid Waste: 7.52 pounds per day per capita. Policy 4-1.1.4: Coordination Between Future Land Use and Potable Water/ Wastewater System Needs. The City shall coordinate with Indian River County Utilities to ensure that potable water and wastewater system needs, plans, and the location and timing of improvements are consistent with land use and conservation resource management policies stipulated in the City's Comprehensive Plan. Policy 4-1.1.5: Areawide Planning for Potable Water and Wastewater Systems. The LDC shall prohibit the proliferation of small, fragmented water or wastewater systems except in cases where the City Council determines that the public health and safety is served by such a system and areawide service systems are not available. 6.0 SUMMARY In summary, the City of Sebastian service area has gradually expanded over the last 5 years and growth is expected to continue at a similar rate for at least the next 10 years. The population is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 8% for years 2023 through 2040. Water supply resources and distribution infrastructure are sufficient to accommodate projected water demands for the foreseeable future. The CSEC RWSP notes where future water can be accessed in a safe way to the environment to meet the growing needs of the City and County. The City's per capita water use rate may decrease as infrastructure improvements are made, consistent with Indian River County's ongoing and planned capital improvement projects. The 2022 CSES RWSP will also facilitate reduced water loss and the development of programs to incentivize reduced water use. The City will continue to strive to implement programs and policies, such as Sustainable Sebastian, to improve stormwater runoff and limit impacts to the Indian River Lagoon and St. Sebastian River.

(Kimley-Hom) prepared a 10-Year Water Supply Work Plan (WSP) in accordance with Section 163.3177 F.S. The purpose of the WSP is to establish the City's projected potable demands for the planning period, recognize existing and potential water supply sources, and consider the impact of the City's conservation measures. The goal is to assist SJRWMD in creating a decision -making framework for water management. The City is required to submit a Water Supply Plan to the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) every 5 years or within 18 months of publication of the Central Springs/East Coast Regional Water Supply Plan. Further, the updated WSP must be incorporated into the City's Comprehensive Plan, at a minimum by reference, including an update to any affected elements and corresponding policies within the Comprehensive Plan. The WSP contains a description of the City's municipal boundary and an explanation of the potable water service provided by Indian River County. The WSP also includes portions of the City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), detailing projects impacting groundwater quality while promoting conservation efforts and maintaining clean waterways. As outlined in the WSP, the continued delivery of the City's CIP projects and implementation of sustainability programs demonstrates the City's environmental stewardship and understanding of the City's impact on the Central Springs/East Coast Region. Please find enclosed the 10-Year Water Supply Plan and resulting limited comprehensive plan text amendments to the Infrastructure and Governance & Implementation Elements. Kimley-Horn has prepared a strikethrough-underline version of the respective Objectives and Policies requiring amendment. The following changes are proposed: "OBJECTIVE 4-1.6: Water Suoolv Plannina.

Project Manager cc: Lisa Frazier, Director, Community Development Dom Bosworth, Planning Manager, Community Development 1777 Main Street, Suite 200, Sarasota, FL 34236 PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 17, 2023 PAGE 2 All having indicated that they have reviewed the Minutes of August 3, 2023, Ms. Kautenburg called for a motion. A motion approving the Minutes of August 3, 2023 as presented was made by Mr. Carter, seconded by Ms. Kinchen, and approved unanimously via voice vote. VI. Local Planning Aaencv (LPA) Public Hearing: Ms. Kautenburg read the item into the record as follows: A. Public Hearing -- LPA -- Comprehensive Plan Text Governance & Implementation Supply Plan Ms. Kautenburg called for staffs presentation. Recommendation to City Council -- Amendment -- Infrastructure and Elements -- City of Sebastian Water Ms. Frazier stated that this is a request for a text amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. It is entitled the City of Sebastian Water Supply Plan. This is a statutory provision in Chapter 163.2117 of the Florida Statutes relative to the Comprehensive Plan requiring each local government to adopt a Water Supply Plan and incorporate its applicable policies into their Comprehensive Plan. She stated that, when referring to the cover letter by Kimley Horn, you will get the clearest explanation of what your role is this evening. She further explained that every local government has to prepare a 10-year water supply work plan in accordance with this statute. The City did not do that when we were going through Comprehensive Plan changes -- the Comprehensive Plan 2024-2040 update - - because St. John's was in the middle of doing their whole big assessment and work plan and asked us to wait. St. John's completed their Central Plan/East Coast Water Supply Plan about 18 months ago. Now It is the City's turn to get this Plan done, which we have, and to incorporate the recommended objectives and policies from St. John's. St John's has reviewed this plan, they have approved it, and they have recommended the objectives and policies that you read on this cover sheet. Tonight, it will be incumbent upon this Commission to recommend or not recommend to the City Council to accept the Water Supply Plan and recommend or not recommend incorporating the Comprehensive Plan language into the City's Comprehensive Plan. At that point, for those of you who were not here when we did a lot of the Comprehensive Plan amendments, the City Council will then have a hearing and transmit those changes up to DEO. DEO will then review those changes, and they have 30 days to accomplish that. They will then send it back to the City. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 179 2023 PAGE 3 Hopefully, everything will look good to them, and then the City Council will once again take it up at a public hearing and approve or deny the incorporation of this language into the City's Comprehensive Plan. Then, we will make that change and put it into all of the Comprehensive Plans that were done prior. Ms. Kautenburg called for public input. There being none, Ms. Kautenburg called for final comments from the staff. Ms. Frazier said there were none, and Ms. Kautenburg called for questions/comments from the Commissioners. Mr. Carter -- Referring to page 13 of the report, he had a question about the expected average annual growth rate of 8% between the years 2023 and 2040. He asked what that figure was based upon and if that is going to be a realistic figure. Ms. Frazier explained how population projections are done. They are not 100% accurate. By looking at the growth of the area and the projected population growth, that is how that is projected. Mr. Carter stated that over the last several years we have had brought before this Commission, whether it be as a recommendation or whatever to City Council, various developments which will exceed that number once they are built out. That Is why he questioned the validity of this 8%. He suggested it should be higher. Ms. Frazier further stated they do take into consideration our build -out based on our land use. So that is a given. She will make a note to look into that further. She called everyone's attention to page 8 where they talk about the potable level of service. The City has always been projected as utilizing way more of the GPD than it does. She added that the City's level of service has been pretty high compared to historically what we use. So, if the City continued to Incorporate its conservation efforts, she suggested that it is imperative that people understand that stormwater retention, stormwater percolation is very important to our potable water and our aquafers getting refilled. When we direct it down a pipe out into the Indian River Lagoon, we are not refilling our aquafers. It is very important that we recognize that. She believes that the City is doing all that it can to incorporate the conservation efforts into our potable water source retainment. Ms. Geesey — She estimated that from 2020 to 2040 it Is a 40% increase in population. Ms. Frazier said each year from 2020 to 2040 they are showing a growth rate of 11 % up to 2025. It will keep ticking forward. We are the fastest growing area in Indian River County. Ms. Kinchen -- She stated her concerns are the same as Mr. Carter's. She does not think that 8% is going to be enough. She suggested that will really have to be looked at later on, maybe 5 years down the road, and make sure that that Is going to comply, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 17, 2023 PAGE 4 because Sebastian Is the fastest growing city in Indian River County, and it is not going to stop any time soon. Ms. Lorusso -- She addressed the septic -to -sewer situation. She knows the CRA district already has that program in effect. On page 11 it mentions the North Sebastian septic - to -sewer Phase II project. She asked what that is going to entail, what do they consider North Sebastian. Ms. Frazier said this Information is a little dated because we had to sunset the Sebastian CRA Septic -to -Sewer Conversion Program last year. This was a program that had been in place since 2016. We were successful in getting a cost -share grant from Indian River Lagoon to help us. That was in 2018. That program was run for many years. It was one grant, and we kept getting extensions until they said we could no longer extend the program because people were not taking advantage of this grant, even though notices were sent out every year. It has not started back up again. As to the Phase II project, she explained that that is the County's project. It is a gravity feedline which helps people connect a lot cheaper. That is all that she is aware of regarding that. Ms. Lorusso asked regarding the FEMA grant for the Collier and one other canal, whether the grant has been applied. Ms. Frazier stated that would be under the purview of Karen Miller, the City Engineer. Mr. Haddix -- Regarding page 4, the first paragraph, last sentence which states, "The CSEC has reviewed multiple projects that could increase the water quantity in Brevard, Indian River, and Okeechobee counties by 29.2 million gallons per day." He asked if this is a demand of quantity, or is it an availability. Ms. Frazier explained that the CSEC is the St. John's report. It is the Central Spring East Coast Regional Water Supply Plan. Ms. Frazier interpreted it as meaning the available quantity. Mr. Haddix referred to page 9, the last paragraph where it talks about the County requiring the use of irrigation qualify effluent meeting FDEP standards for irrigation in parks and facilities, etc. He asked, if the County is making this a requirement, is the County going to have this pressurized. Ms. Frazier stated this is for reuse. If reuse is available, they are going to force you to use it. They have had this on the books for a while. Mr. Haddix stated that, if they are going to require it, he opined that there should be some clarification that means somebody has got to put pumps In — the City is going to be required to do that for these irrigation purposes, or the County is going to have to pressurize this effluent water that is only available by gravity. He believes it is unclear. Ms. Frazier said she will make a note of that and will have the City Engineer follow up on that. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 17, 2023 PAGE 5 Mr. Haddix said this question is just for educational purposes for himself. On page 10 where it refers to Policy 4.8, "The County shall require all new subdivisions and projects of 25 or more lots or units..." His question is what the significance of 25 is. He asked if that is a minimum requirement for a subdivision. Ms. Bosworth stated that 25 lots must be a threshold where they presume what the maximum impervious could be so that there would be a stormwater pond that would be required. Mr. Haddix said he was concerned as to what the origin of 25 represents. Ms. Kautenburg -- She felt that this report was extremely thorough. She is also concerned with projected numbers. She has seen many projections overtime. While we assume that they are based on an educated guess, sometimes we don't know what we don't know until it happens. She is also of the opinion today that that figure might be a little low, but she might change her mind in the future. Ms. Bosworth explained further that the statement that Mr. Carter made is not saying that from the period of 2023 to 2040 there is only going to be an 8% Increase. It is annual, so that each year it will be an 8% increase. Mr. Carter said he understood that. Ms. Kautenburg stated, if there are no further questions or discussion, the Chair will entertain a motion. A motion that the Commission make a recommendation to the City Council to approve the Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment -- Infrastructure and Governance and Implementation Elements -- City of Sebastian Water Supply Plan was made by Mr. Carter, and seconded by Ms. Kinchen. Ms. Kautenburg called for a roll call vote.
