03.16.2021 - City Council MinutesCity of Clermont MINUTES COUNCIL WORKSHOP March 16, 2021 The Clermont City Council met at a workshop on Tuesday, March 16, 2021, in the Clermont Community Center. Mayor Murry opened the workshop at 6:30pm with the following Council Members present: Pines, Entsuah, Purvis, and Bates. Other City officials present were Interim City Manager Dauderis, City Attorney Mantzaris and Deputy City Clerk Lueth. OPENING STATEMENTS Interim City Manager Dauderis stated that there was a change to the agenda and a revised agenda had been provided to the Council and the Public. The discussion on multi -family housing was being tabled until a later date. 1. Wellness Way Sean Parks, Lake County BOCC Chair — Chairman Parks provided encouraging and positive sentiments for the Council as they are addressing growth management which is a difficult process to manager. He said that approach taken for Wellness Way veers away from the current development pattern in Clermont and Central Florida. He feels that the current development plan is unsustainable as developers will take the path of least resistance and carve out little pieces of land at a time. This method is dangerous because twenty (20) years from now all of the little pieces will result in a big problem. Wellness Way is planned in such a way as to garner the most value per acre. It is being designed for Gen Z and Millennials where it will be based on experience and interactivity. He continued that Wellness Way will have a density cap of 16,000 to 18,000 units. The development will have a high standard with regards to design, walkability, landscaping and other things. He informed the Council that developers will be required to pay for all the roads. Chairman Parks admitted that the plan is not perfect and the County is always open to suggestion. Brandon Matulka, Agency for Economic Prosperity, Lake County — Mr. Matulka presented a PowerPoint presentation. The Wellness Way area is 15,500 acres in size with 12,000 net buildable acres and 3,000 acres of Consery II acres. Mr. Matulka highlighted the background and need for Wellness Way. He gave an overview of the goals and objectives such as: - Coordinated development - Job generation - Environmental protection - Balancing land owner rights with planned growth strategies - Recreational opportunities Mr. Matulka stated that the City of Clermont and Lake County developed an agreement for a cost shared consultant which is Levey Consulting, LLC. Richard Levey, Levey Consulting, LLC — Presented the Wellness Way Implementation Plan via PowerPoint presentation. Mr. Levey gave a review of the process used to develop the plan thus far including: City of Clermont MINUTES COUNCIL WORKSHOP March 16, 2021 1. Stakeholder Process 2. Deliverables: Implementation, Design Guidelines, Comprehensive Plan Amendment 3. Next Steps Regarding implementation, Mr. Levey highlighted the following areas: 1. Schools — The area will have at least two schools. The planning team has worked with the school district to deliver schools in a timely fashion. This means that the schools will be developed not after things are built, but while things are being built. 2. Water/Wastewater and Reclaimed Water Utility Extensions. 3. Public Safety Framework — Opportunities exist to partner with the County based on a site in the Olympus development. 4. Technology/Telecom — the ability to deliver high speed consistent internet will make or break this plan. 5. Economic Development Strategy — development needs to focus on home based employment. The demand for office space in the suburban space is changing rapidly. A lot of jobs that used to require onsite attendance, are not the same anymore. 6. Transportation — the Lake/Orange connector is an important key to the success of the development plan. Brokers who attended sessions with the plan creators stated that if Wellness Way can deliver the interchange at the time of the expressway opening, it will be the premium destination hub for logistics in Florida. Regarding design standards, Mr. Levey highlighted the following points: 1. Form and Design 2. Connectivity 3. Lot Development Standards 4. Road Networks — Local government cannot push traffic out to US27 to travel. People living in the Wellness Way area need a way to get east and west. 5. Robust Trail Network — Embedded in the neighborhoods will be paths. They are working from a philosophical ideal that the trails need to start at the garage, inside the neighborhood. 6. Preservation of the Clay Road. 7. Open Space and Parks — No changes to adopted open space standards, but substantial increase to parks design and standards. These would be Community Development District or Home Owner Association parks. S. Landscape and Natural Resources — No changes. 9. Public Facilities and Utilities — No changes. Regarding a comprehensive plan amendment, Mr. Levey highlighted the following points: 1. Asking that the county plan amendment be revised for the City so that there will be parallel land use guidelines. Council Member Bates thanked Mr. Levey for his work. He asked what the time frame for the County was for adoption. Mr. Levey said that the County Planning & Zoning Board would be hearing it for approval in about 60 to 90 days. Council Member Purvis asked about annexation to the south. Mr. Levey said that there is an ISBA agreement in place to allow for non-contiguous annexation. 2 City of Clermont MINUTES COUNCIL WORKSHOP March 16, 2021 City Attorney Mantzaris reminded the Council that any annexation is tied to ability to serve an area with utilities. Council Member Purvis is concerned about an entity moving in like Utilities Inc. did in the Legends area. Council Member Entsuah thanked Mr. Levey. He stated that he is impressed with the presentation, and that it is a mammoth of a project. He is cautiously optimistic. 2. Parking Interim City Manager Dauderis informed Council this item is being brought forward to talk about the parking garage future project and also the more immediate needs for parking downtown. James Maiworm, Public Services Assistant Director — Mr. Maiworm gave an update on the parking garage project based on the direction received from the Council over time, especially from the prior month workshop. He provided an overview of their post -workshop progress. They contacted a consulting firm to create a hypothetical site plan, garage layout and to provide construction estimates. He reviewed the prospective locations including the post office. He concluded by asking the Council for direction about which site the Council would like to see studied. Council Member Purvis asked about the number of spots at the old Elks Lodge. Mr. Maiworm said that area has about 100 spots. Council Member Purvis suggested the City should not look at a property that yields less than 100 spots. Mr. Maiworm informed the Council that it would cost about $8,000 per site to do a review. Council Member Bates asked if Mr. Maiworm had spoken to other municipalities that have garages. Mr. Maiworm said he came from a community where he oversaw five (5) parking garages and has a lot of experience in this area. Mr. Maiworm informed the Council that each garage is unique with their own management, challenges and conditions. Interim City Manager Dauderis asked if the Council is still looking at the four (4) sites and the post office. Council Member Purvis said that staff should have conversations with the post office after the property changes hands. Mayor Murry asked about the residential parcel adjoining the post office. Mr. Maiworm said that staff always envisioned the two parcels working in tandem. Interim City Manager Dauderis restated that the cost is $8,000 per site, so this is the time for the Council to narrow their selections, if they so desire. Council Member Purvis stated that he feels that they should only spend the money on the post office site, if the whole block is available. The Council concurred. The Council discussed the possibility of studying City Hall. Council Members Pines and Entsuah supported studying the City Hall site. Council Members Purvis and Mayor Murry were opposed. 3 City of Clermont MINUTES COUNCIL WORKSHOP March 16, 2021 Development Services Director Curt Henschel informed Council that the space where the old library was located could be used for the garage at City Hall. Councilmember Bates asked what the scope of work for the consultant would be. Mr. Maiworm said that for the $8,000 review, the consultant would design and analyze each site. They would then provide estimated construction costs and a spot yield study to the Council. The Mayor opened the floor to the public. Lee Harvey, 790 W. Minneola, Clermont — Representing Suncreek Brewery. Encouraged more parking downtown. Recommended temporary improvements to Dehoyas property. Angie Langley, PO Box 12544, Clermont — Asked which three properties the Council was considering. Recommend keeping the City Hall site on the review list. Vincent Niemiec, Regency Hills, Clermont — Asked questions about the City Hall site. Council Member Purvis asked about the dimensions of the garage on the City Hall site. Mr. Maiworm stated the site is 2.5 acres, but City Hall is part of that. It would have to be a more narrow building, but that is why the City can have the consultant examine the site. Seeing no further comments, the floor was closed. The Council reconfirmed that it would like the consultant to review the following site locations: 7th and Minneola, 71h and Osceola, 81h and Minneola and City Hall. Switching topics, the Mr. Maiworm talked about the City's proposed actions due to the 7th & Minneola parking lot lease termination which will be effective April 26. The restoration cost is $3,500. To make up the parking, there is an opportunity to enhance the parking at 71h & Osceola. The estimated cost is $40,000 - $80,000 for the temporary improvements. Council Member Pines asked if the property owner is willing to allow improvements. Mr. Maiworm was unsure, but the owner had been okay with some minor improvements in the past. Interim City Manager Dauderis informed the Council that the lease contract specifies that the City is allowed to make adjustments to comply with the Americans with Disability Act (ADA). City Attorney Mantzaris reminded the Council that there is only a 180 termination provision, so he cautioned them about contributing resources to a property the City could lose after only six (6) months. Interim City Manager Dauderis informed the Council that a late afternoon conversation that day with the owner of the 71h & Mineola may present an opportunity where the lease agreement is not terminated. 4 City of Clermont MINUTES COUNCIL WORKSHOP March 16, 2021 Mayor Murry said he spent all day Saturday downtown and said that the parking lot at 7th and Osceola had a few cars, but the 7th and Minneola was packed. Mr. Maiworm told the Council that an opportunity had come up to sign an agreement for space at 8th and Minneola. Councilmember Pines felt that the City should also move forward with pursuing a lease agreement at 81h and Minneola. The Council opened the floor for Jayson Stringfellow to address the Council. Jayson Stringfellow, West Lakeshore Drive — Mr. Stringfellow stated that a dialog was started late that day, but there are some significant things that need to be discussed. There a lot of unanswered questions. The Council closed the floor. Councilmember Bates asked how long the shutdown for streetscaping would affect the parking. Mr. Maiworm stated that there is another option to open the 7th and Minneola parking lot, if the termination is delayed. The Council asked Interim City Manager Dauderis to work with Jayson Stringfellow for 7th and Minneola solution. The Council asked Interim City Manager Dauderis to work to acquire a lease agreement for 8th and Minneola. Council asked staff to look at further improving the Dehoyas property, especially concerning signage. Council Member Purvis asked if they should look at authorizing the $40,000 - $80,000. City Attorney Mantzaris reminded the Council that the agreement is only a six (6) month lease. Mr. Maiworm said that that cost estimate is a bigger picture, and Public Works could do some piece meal items that would cost less. Council Member Purvis asked if the City made improvements, would that activate ADA requirements. Mr. Maiworm said it could and that the issue would need to be researched. 3. Other Lake Minneola Waterfront Property Barbara Hollerand, City Business Liaison, presented the staff analysis via a PowerPoint presentation on acquiring the lakefront property. She highlighted reasons why it is important to purchase additional properties along the lake shore. Ms. Hollerand explained that grants could be used to offset the cost. 5 City of Clermont MINUTES COUNCIL WORKSHOP March 16, 2021 The Council discussed that it was important to not offer more than appraised value, but it is important to acquire property along the lake shore. City Attorney Mantzaris added that paying more than appraised value could jeopardize a grant application. VP Development City Attorney Mantzaris provided an update on the issue with VP Development. He informed the Council that the City is moving forward with an agreement that would preserve the status quo for six (6) months with a possible extension. The City will allow VP Development to use the building as they are, and VP Development would in turn hold the City harmless, if something was to occur. He added that the City is still participating in discussions that would allow for an agreement with all parties involved. The Council thanked staff for their work on this issue, but stated that at the end of the six (6) months they would like this to come to the Council for a decision. Follow-ui� Barbed Wire Interim City Manager Dauderis provided additional information to the Council on a public comment received at the last City Council meeting. Council Member Entsuah stated that he feels the code needs to be clarified overall in order for better understanding. Council Member Pines asked if the Council is willing to change the code for every individual. She believes that it should not be done. She does not believe this is a code issue, but more a law enforcement issue. Council Member Purvis and Mayor Murry agreed. Council gave a consensus that this does not need to come up at a workshop. Council Member Entsuah restated that he wants to see a workshop on recodification of the entire code. Closing Comments Mayor Murry got a complaint about trash along 561 over by 121h Street and graffiti under the bridge. There is also complaints of underage drinking. He also received a complaint about trash on US27 by Kings Ridge, but when he drove by he could not find any. Mayor Murry asked that the City Manager investigate the placement of a fountain on East Lake. Council Member Purvis asked to reactivate the charter committee to address term limits. Council also discussed districts, but most members were against it. City Attorney Mantzaris clarified that the Council can change the charter without a charter committee. 6 City of Clermont MINUTES COUNCIL WORKSHOP March 16, 2021 Adjourn: The workshop concluded at 8:00 pm with no further comments.

'Ihe Intent and Purpose of these Design Guidelines is to provide a regulatory framework for decision makers to implement the Guiding Principles of the adopted Wellness Way Area Plan. They are intended to produce development that achieves the following: 1. a high quality built environment; 2. significant regional employment centers; 3. regional infrastructure constructed with, not after, the impacts of development; 4. a robust multi -modal mobility system; and 5. protection of key regional natural and ecological systems 1.1 Guiding Principles of Wellness Way Wellness Way is envisioned as a mixed -use area proximate to arterial thoroughfares. Land uses within Wellness Way are intended to be flexible allowing employment, residential, institutional, agriculture and Wellness/Green Space. Guiding principlesl for urban form are as follows, and shall be specifically demonstrated in the PUDs: 1. Wellness Way is intended to include a mix of uses that integrate residential, non-residential and open space networks. As such, guidelines for each district allocate a desired percentage distribution of uses (as measured in net acreage) along with an interconnected Wellness/Green Corridor network including a trail system to reach destinations within Wellness Way 2. Plan for and implement regional roadway connectivity as generally depicted on the Future Land Use Map. 3. An emphasis on complete streets and multi -modal facilities (bike trails, on - street parking, enhanced pedestrian environments). 4. A green strategy considering a balance of development, preservation, energy, conservation and water conservation. 5. An economic development approach that requires land set aside for non- residential employment generating uses. fi5. School centered development pattern with a co -located neighborhood park and connectivity to the Wellness Corridor network for each school. Figure 1: Wellness Way Location I Adapted from Policy I-8.2.2 Urban Form Guiding Principles Z6. Neighborhood scale development based upon a pedestrian orientation with neighborhood centers/parks as the center of the neighborhood to create neighborhood identity and place. $7.Allow interim and/or permanent agricultural uses. 8 Job Hubs as defined in the Comprehensive Plan are directed to Centers as defined in these standards and guidelines. 1.24 Development Program Wellness Way is envisioned to include a diverse range of neighborhoods, appealing to the entire spectrum of residents living in concert with nature. The design intent for the project will offer a wide range of residential densities and commercial districts. At build out, the project is planned to support the development shown in Table 1.2,4. Land Use Program Residential 19,377 Dwelling Units Maximum Non -Residential 8,821,633 Square Feet Minimum 1.2.1 Development Districts Sias Districts are created within Wellness Wav to euide the development and character of the community. Each District has a specific requirement for allocation of land and program as described in Sections 1.3 and 1.4. In addition, the Districts have development standards intended to support the desired community character of Wellness Way. The Districts are as follows: 1. Neighborhood - intended to support lower density neighborhood development outside the boundaries of Wellness Why's community and employment centers in the US 27 and Multi -Use Districts. 2. US 27 - intended to support moderate density residential, commercial, and employment uses that serve the daily needs of the residents and employees from nearby neighborhoods and workplaces. 3. Multi -Use - intended to be the primary concentration of employment and non-residential uses in Wellness Way. 4. Conservation Subdivision - intended to promote a balance between carefully designed residential development while supporting the ecological value of the `mosaic' of wetlands and uplands that characterize the area. 5. Wellness Way North - intended to carry forward the existing Wellness Way Area Plan allocation of low density residential with the required minimum of non-residential/employment square footage for the area north of CONSERV 6 CONSERV - intended to recognize the public ownership nature of the land holding permitting public facilities and encouraging public access as an open space amenity.

This is the largest district and requires flexibility in design to accommodate neighborhood and housing types for many market segments. 2.1.1 (a) Form and Design. The design standards,in this district are intended to achieve the following: 1. Development will be organized in the form of neighborhoods. A neighborhood shall be defined by a single standard pedestrian -shed generally lh-mile diameter. Its physical center should be located at an important traffic intersection associated with a civic or commercial use. The edges of the neighborhood should blend into an adjacent neighborhood or district without buffer. 2. ". Massing, setbacks, and character of new residential developments shall encourage structures that do not overly dominate streets, foster diversity in design, and maintain the character of the community. Alternative housing forms, such as small -lot single family, bungalow single family, townhomes, Figure 2.1.1: Neighborhood District Location [ 1 Neighborhood District Wellness Way Community Design Guidelines 13 small-scale apartments, and accessory dwelling units { tiny flats that provide diversity of housing opportunities are encouraged. 3. Each neighborhood shall include a variety of housing types and styles to allow people with a range of different ages and incomes to live in the neighborhood of their choice as a diverse community. In order to maintain the desired density of residential neighborhoods, a variety of housing types, lot sizes, and patterns are encouraged. 4. Residerr i.+M _Neighborhoods Distric tmay contain the following residential housing types: • Single-family detached homes; • Townhomes; • Duplexes and other types of attached units up to four-plexes; • Stnall-scale Walk up apartments btrildirm); and • Accessory dwelling units. 5. Whenever possible, land use boundaries and density changes in neighborhoods should occur at mid -block locations, rather than along streets, so that buildings facing each other are compatible and transitions between uses are gradual. 6. Higher residential densities should nge erallX be located adjacent to a Center, or a location that would serve as a transition between a Neighborhood District and Multi -Use District or US 27 District. 7. Neighborhoods shall be pedestrian and bicycle friendly. Individual neighborhoods should be sized so that dwellings are generally within a maximum quarter-mil-fi -- - alk of a Center or a Neighborhood Park, Square, or Green as described in Section 4.2.4. 8. Houses shall fin addncss the local street system and public spaces with entries, balconies, porches, architectural features, and activities to enliven the streets and create safe and pleasant walking environments.

The District is not intended to create a conventional strip commercial' frontage along US 27. 2.1.2 (a) Form and Design. The design standards in this district are intended to achieve the following: 1. This District is designed to encourage development of multiple uses that are integrated to form a cohesive ttrrif ed development pattern. Development should be designed to ensure a series of interconnected mix of uses with an internal street/driveway pattern which allows convenient movement within the district as well as easy access from surrounding neighborhoods. The primary orientation is to US 27. 2. The scale of this district is mid -rise buildings - QTic:alallly no higher than five stories in height and below. This District serves as a transition in land use intensity from the Neighborhood District to the Multi Use District to the north. 3. The street layout should allow for movement between differing land uses without relying upon the external arterial street system. This can include local public streets or private drives streets. Access between residential areas and commercial/employment areas must include facilities for safe pedestrian movement. 4. Residential buildings include: • detached single-family • Ttownhomes�; • Duplexes and other tykes of attached units up to four-plexes; Md • multi -unit stacked flat buildings„aQtd • walk-UF apal LAII Commercial buildings include: • in -line retail centers; • out -parcels - with or without drive-thru facilities; • single or multi -story office; and • institutional uses. 5. Whenever possible, land use boundaries and density changes in neighborhoods should occur at mid -block locations, rather than along streets, so that buildings facing each other are compatible and transitions between uses are gradual. G. Higher residential densities should generals be located adjacent to a Center or transition to Multi -Use. The No more than 50% of the parcels with US 27 frontage catrnvt be mom than may be retail/commercial use. Lowest densities and intensities should generally be located adjacent to Neighborhood Districts.

There are two distinct Multi -Use Districts. The Multi -Use W District is centered on the intersection of Wellness Way and US 27. The Multi -Use L District, supporting increased options for logistics and distribution, occurs at the planned County Road 455 and the Lake -Orange Connector expressway. 2.1.3 (a) Form and Design. The design standards in this district are intended to achieve the following: 1. This District focuses on employment as its central purpose, with ancillary residential and service uses. Uses should be organized around a `block structure' providing for vehicluar, pedestrian and bicycle access in and between blocks. 2. This District supports the highest intensity of land uses in Wellness Way. Larger square footage buildings, sometimes exceeding 1MM square feet under roof, are encouraged in the Multi -Use L District. 3. The Multi -Use L District is intended to support a high cncentration of logistics, and distribution, and similar facilities.

A wide varety of building types are encouragedCorrsimmwith die priacip;d use. The Multi -Use W District will is intended to be characterized by single and mutli-tenant retail, office and services buildings. Drive thru facilities are permitted. The Multi -Use L is similar, but also includes large scale logistics, and distribution, and similar facilities. 5. The edges of both Multi -Use Districts should be designed to transition to adjacent development districts based on the character of the adjoining uses. 6. In the Multi -Use W District, residential uses should be integrated into the overall design of the District with close proximity to employment uses. The Multi -Use L District is oriented to larger logistics and distribution uses. Residential uses should be oriented away from concentrations of logistics/distribution uses the -core- to maximum maximize available land for employment uses and minimize conflicts between employment uses and surrounding residential neighbrhoods. 7.

Recognition of wildlife corridors is central to the purpose of the District. 2.1.4 (a) Form and Design. The design standards in this district are _ intended to achieve the following: 1. This District provides for the protection of the extensive wetland system by orienting residential development in uplands well buffered from wetland systems. The preservation of documeted wildlife corridors through this District is integral to the purpose of the District. 2. The scale of this District is one of clustering residential development on uplands while preserving large wetland and adjacent uplands to maintain the inegrity of the natural ecosystem to the greatest extent _ possible. 3. Higher net densities in the form of smaller lot sizes may be permitted to achieve a balance between residential land development and ecological preservation. No Center is required, but may be provided. Non-residential uses are limited to civic and residential amenity uses only. 4. This is generally a single-family and agricultural district, however alternative building types can be considered if the resulting land use pattern provides greater protection for conservation lands and ecological habitat. 5. land use transitions in this District occur between residential development on upland and protected wetland systems. 6. This District encourages an approach that limits the impact of residential areas on protected conservation areas and documented wildlife corridors (see Figure 2.1.4 (a) 6). Wherever possible, community facilities/amenties should be used as organizing features of neighborhoods. 7. Emphasis should be on multi -use trails in lieu of sidewalks on both sides of streets to limit impervious surfaces and reduce impacts to surrounding conservation areas. 8. Wherever possible, neighborhood street design should take on more of a rural, open swale design. 9. Open space tracts should be located and designed to allow for free movement of wildlife. Fencing of open space tracts is discouraged. Figure 2.1.4: Conservation Subdivision District Location Figure 2.1.4 (a) 6: Wildlife Corridor Source:floridawildlifecorridor.org,2020 This figure is intended to inform decision making about the existence of an important element of the landform that supports the regional movement of wildlife. The boundaries of the corridor are not intended to preclude development or land alteration.

The design standards in this district are intended to achieve the following: 1. Development will be organized in the form of neighborhoods. A neighborhood shall be defined by a single standard pedestrian -shed generally 1/2-mile diameter. Its physical center should be located at an important traffic intersection associated with a civic or commercial use. The edges of the neighborhood should blend into an adjacent neighborhood or district without with appropriate buffer. 2 Massing, setbacks, and character of new residential developments shall encourage structures that do not overly dominate streets, foster diversity in design, and maintain the character of the community. Alternative housing forms, such as duplexes, bungalow single family, and accessory dwelling units ("granny flats") that provide diversity of housing opportunities are encouraged. 3.

The Developer shall maintain a cumulative record of FAR approved to date and provide it with each phase of the project. 4 Non-residential uses, except for civic and amenitv related uses. shall only be located in Centers. 2.3 Site and Architectural Standards for Centers The following standards apply to all buildings and sites in Centers. 2.3.1 'A' and 'B' Street Framework Every street within the Center area of each District shall be designated as either an `A' street or a `B' street. At least 50% of the streets in an individual Center must be `A' streets. I • A streets are intended to be the primary pedestrian -oriented streets that provide a mix of uses, promoting pedestrian activity, cycling, and transit. These streets will have building frontage requirements that establish a strong relationship between the building and the street. • `B' streets are intended to provide vehicular and service access to development blocks. These streets will have no building frontage requirements. While "B" streets are not intended to be primary pedestrian streets, they should include sidewalks and street trees in accordance with appropriate street types. "B" streets can either be publicly dedicated or privately maintained. / o / / i StreetIt v Z ZO / Service drive for vehicular and pedestrian connections Maximum internal block lengths, defined as the distance between A Streets, shall be as indicated in Table 2.3.1. This requirement only applies to the Center area of each District. District Max Block Face Length Multi -Use W 600 ft Multi -Use L — 1 US 27 600 ft Neighborhood 500 ft Wellness Way North 500 ft Wellness Way Community Design Guidelines 29 Figure 2.3.1: A/'B' Street Concept Since'. and `B' streets inside centers may not be public streets. each PUD shall define its own applicable cross section consistent with the standards of this section. Table 2.3.1: Centers Maximum Block Lengths by District 1 Logistics/Distribution and other major gmplovment facilities exempt from this requirement. 30 Section 21 Districts 2.3.2 Building Location and Siting In general, within the Neighborhood, US 27, Multi -Use g/ and Wellness Way North Districts, urban architecture should be built up to all property lines that front `A' streets described in Section 2.3.1 and/or parks described in Section 4.4. The intent of these standards is to promote a substantially continuous building edge along these streets to encourage density, connection to adjacent properties, and street activity. • Parking and service areas shall not be located between the principal building and the street. • Building service elements (e.g., loading docks, dumpsters, etc.) shall be located at the rear of the building and screened from view of all adjacent A' 5streets. Development is encouraged to develop a system of service alleys to provide access to these areas. • Buildings on corner parcels shall be located up to and address the corner. They are encouraged to wrap the corner where possible. Within the Multi -Use L District, industrial and manufacturing buildings should be sited, regardless of their use, in a manner that emphasizes building frontage and landscape more than parking and service/loading areas. While there is not a requirement that buildings be placed at the edge of the sidewalk, the intent of these guidelines is to encourage a varied streetscape that allows buildings with a mix of employment uses in close proximity to each other. 1. Buildings are encouraged to have a variety of front setbacks in order to avoid the creation of a constant wall of buildings. This is particularly important where proposed buildings have similar heights and massing. 2. Large scale parking and service areas shall not be located between the principal building and the street. No more than a single bay of parking may be located between the principal building and the street at the front of the parcel. Where parking is provided between the building and street, at least 25% of the building frontage must be kept free of parking stalls. 3. Parking may be located to the side of the principal building. In this condition, special screening guidelines apply. 4. Where unique operational needs of logistics and distribution uses require aparking arrangement inconsistent with these standards. the PUD shall incorporate alternative standards consistent with Section 1.6. 2.3.3 Required Building Frontages All buildings in Centers shall provide a primary frontage consistent with one of the following types. Each frontage type has a schematic example and standards that are required for development within the Center. 2.3.3 (a) Storefront. Storefront frontages are intended to create an enhanced pedestrian -oriented environment through design elements such as high visibility into the buildings, shade fixtures, outdoor dining spaces, architectural details and other features. These Storefront frontage elements are governed by the following requirements: General. The frontage is set back from the front property line per applicable street setback requirements typically at or near a front property line with the entrance at sidewalk grade. Frontages shall incorporate awnings, marquees and/or arcades that cover the sidewalk and may request to extend into the right-of-way, as well as galleries. Recessed entrances are acceptable. Building frontages wider than 75 feet shall incorporate vertical divisions to mimic smaller -scale development. All frontages directly facing an `A Street or open space shall incorporate architectural elements that divide the building horizontally. Single story buildings shall contain a recognizable ground floor area and cornice area. Multi -story buildings shall contain recognizable ground floor, middle, and cornice areas. Windows and Entrances. All glass shall be clear and non -reflective. If glass incorporates tinting, it should be transparent enough for those outside the buildings to see building occupants. Tinting should not be the primary strategy to provide privacy or reduce solar transmittance, but rather these should be accomplished through the articulation of buildings facades with awnings, wall thickness, canopies, marquees, arcades or galleries. Transparency. Transparency shall be calculated as the percentage (%) of clear glass between the ground and 10 feet in height. False windows shall not be counted toward meeting the minimum transparency requirement. Dimensional Requirements Min Max A - Distance between door and/or window opening on primary frontage (ft) -- 4 B - Distance between door and/or window opening on secondary frontage(ft) -- 10 C - Door recess (ft) -- 5 D - Primary frontage ground floor transparency (%) 60 -- E - Secondary frontage ground floor transparency (%) 60 -- F - Height to bottom of window (ft) -- 2.5 2.3.3 (b) Civic/Institutional Frontage Civic and institutional frontages are intended to facilitate the functioning of government buildings, hospitals, schools-, churches, and other public type uses, while maintaining a pedestrian orientation. It is acknowledged that such buildings are sometimes internally complex and uses are sensitive in nature. Flexibility in the requirements is warranted as follows: General. Frontages shall incorporate awnings, marquees, porches, and/ or arcades. Building frontages wider than 75 feet shall incorporate vertical divisions to mimic smaller -scale development. All frontages facing a street or open space shall incorporate architectural elements that Wellness Way Community Design Guidelines 31 Table 2.3.3 (a): Storefront Frontage Requirements 32 Section 21 Districts divide the building horizontally. Single story buildings shall contain a recognizable ground floor area and cornice area. Multi -story buildings shall contain recognizable ground floor, middle, and cornice areas. Buildings should have a well defined pedestrian access on the primary frontage. Transparency. Transparency shall be calculated as the percentage (%) of clear glass between the ground and 10 feet in height. Exceptions to the transparency requirements may be granted where patient privacy or employee safety would be compromised. In such situations, the building shall be designed with features that break up the mass of the building such as treated or spandrel glass, building articulations, architectural fenestrations or green wall landscape features. For these exceptions, such details shall be counted towards the transparency requirement. Dimensional Requirements Min Max Primary frontage ground floor transparency (%) 25 -- Secondary frontage ground floor transparency (%) 1.5-25 -- Z3.3 (c) Industrial Frontages. Industrial frontages are intended to facilitate the function of warehouse, manufacturing, or flex office/ industrial uses, while maintaining a high quality visual environment. Industrial frontage elements are governed by the following requirements: General. Building frontages wider than 75 feet shall incorporate vertical divisions to mimic smaller -scale development. All frontages facing a street or open space shall incorporate architectural elements that divide the building horizontally. Single story buildings shall contain a recognizable ground floor area and cornice area. Exterior Surface Materials. No exposed, unfinished sheet metal or concrete shall be permitted on building exteriors unless used as an accent to the architectural style of the building. No exposed, unfinished concrete block shall be permitted on building exteriors or screen walls. Color palette, materials, and finishes shall be consistent on all exterior elevations of the principle building. Any secondary buildings, accessory structures, or screen walls shall be treated consistent with the principle building. Gutters, downspouts, vents, louvers, and rolling doors, shall be a color consistent with the color scheme of the building they are incorporated into. Table 2.2.2 (b): Civic/Institutional Frontage Requirements Transparency. Transparency shall be calculated as the percentage (%) of clear glass between the ground and 10 feet in height. The following requirements apply only to the office portion of an industrial building frontage. Dimensional Requirements Min Max Primary frontage ground floor transparency (%) 25 -- Secondary frontage ground floor transparency (%) 15 -- 2.3.3 (d) Stoop. A stoop is an elevated entrance to a building, usually of a residence, with small setbacks from the sidewalk: General. Stoops must be set back from the front lot line per applicable setback standards. Steps from the sidewalk to the stoop may encroach into the minimum setback but shall not encroach into the ROW. The frontage includes an elevated landing and entryway accessed by a series of steps. The stoop may or may not feature a roof covering the landing. Dimensional Requirements Min Max A - Width (ft) 5 8 B - Depth (ft) 4 8 C - Height (ft) 8 -- D - Elevation (ft) 237 333 2.3.3 (e) Porch. A porch is a covered entry and sitting area attached to the face of a residential building, at the same level as the ground floor, and accessed by a series of steps. General. Porches must be set back from the front lot line per applicable setback standards. Porches may wrap around the corners of the building. Steps from the sidewalk to the porch may encroach into the minimum setback but shall not encroach into the ROW. Dimensional Requirements Min Max A - Width (ft) 10 -- B - Depth (ft) 6 12 C - Height (ft) 8 -- D - Elevation (ft) 27 33 Wellness Way Community Design Guidelines 33 Table 2.2.2 (c): Industrial Frontage Requirements Table 2.2.2 (d): Stoop Frontage Requirements 0 Table 2.2.2 (e): Porch Frontage Requirements . •�md%Str�t �� ' B 34 Section 21 Districts 2.3.4 Building Facade Standards 2.3.4 (a) Commercial and Mixed -Use Buildings. Building facades shall be composed with elements that reinforce a pedestrian scale. These elements are to be utilized to create a rhythm and scale consistent with traditional architecture. Large unarticulated facades along the sidewalk are not conducive to a pedestrian experience. The streetfront facades of all new buildings shall be broken down into a number of smaller bays that relate to the context. Additional interest can be added through variations in solid and void composition, color, material, and height. The following standards shall apply to all commercial and mixed -use buildings in Centers within the Neighborhood, US 27, Multi -Use, and Wellness Way North Districts: 1. All facades shall present consistent design elements that reflect appropriate structural elements and variation of the wall plane through the expression of at least three of the following: • Floors (banding, belt courses, etc.) • Vertical support (columns, pilasters, piers, quoins, etc.) • Foundation (watertables, rustication, etc.) • Variation in wall plane through the use of projecting and recessed elements • Changes in material or material pattern 2. Facades oriented to a publicly accessible street or open space shall include clear delineation between the first or second level and the upper levels with a cornice, canopy, balcony, arcade, or other architectural feature. 3. Each block of new construction shall contain unique building facades to encourage architectural variety within the Center. 2.3.4 (b) Industrial Building Facades. Industrial building facades shall be composed with elements that reduce the mass of building walls, reinforce locations of entries, and create architectural interest. This can be done through variations in solid and void composition, color, material, and height. The following standards shall apply to all industrial buildings in Centers: 1. The front fagade of every building should reflect appropriate structural elements and variation of the wall plane through the expression of at least three of the following. • Floors (banding, belt courses, etc.) • Vertical support (columns, pilasters, piers, quoins, etc.) • Foundation (watertables, rustication, etc.) • Variation in wall plane through the use of projecting and recessed elements • Changes in material or material pattern Wellness Way Community Design Guidelines 35 2. The sides of each building on a site, particularly buildings visible from multiple streets, should be consistent in design and should be compatible with other development in the immediate vicinity. 3. Industrial building frontages shall be broken up and/or screened with landscape at intervals of no more than 501 Q linear feet. For cross -dock facilities where this is not feasible, additional perimeter landscaping may be substituted to be determined at PUD zonine. 2.3.5 Pedestrian Access Buildings shall feature functiondt= pedestrian entrances. When parking is located to the rear of a street -facing building, entrances shall be provided from both the front and rear of the building rather than solely from the parking lot. The following standards shall apply to all buildings in Centers: I . Primary entrances shall be both architecturally and functionally designed to demonstrate their prominence. 2. All buildings fronting A Streets and/or parks described in Section 4.4 shall have a main entrance from the public sidewalk. In addition, each retail use along these streets shall have an individual public entry from the street. 3. Entrances along a public sidewalk shall incorporate arcades, roofs, porches, alcoves or awnings that protect pedestrians from the sun and rain. 4. Logistics and distribution buildings, due to the nature of their operations, are exempt from the requirements of this section. 2.3.6 Exterior Surface Materials and Colors The materials used in building facades adjacent to public streets shall reinforce a strong pedestrian realm. The following standards shall apply to all buildings in Centers: 1. In general, facades shall utilize one clearly dominant material and no more than three exterior building materials (in addition to glass). Selection should be based on the material's durability. 2. Street level design shall reflect a direct relationship to pedestrians. Materials used at street level shall reflect a higher level of finish and tactile interest to reinforce the pedestrian environment. 3. Inappropriate materials: • EIFS (Exterior Insulation & Finish System) • Applied Stone - any stone system without cavity wall construction • Vinyl or Aluminum Siding • Mirrored or Tinted Glass (on the ground floor) 4. Colors will be reviewed and approved administratively Noprim > UV111Y MLUIdLId or fluorescent colors will be permitted. 2.3.7Awnings and Canopies CIMICITLb that break down the SCAC UF LhC fla5adl LU A InUll hU111all scale Me 11 The use of elements 36 Section 2 1 Districts such as canopies, awnings, alcoves. balconies, arcades, and storefront windows should be utilized to break down the scale of an otherwise too massive building. The following standards shall apply to all buildings in Centers: 1. Window awnings and canopies are encouraged. 2. Awning and canopy materials shall be compatible with other materials utilized in the building facade. Plastic or vinyl awnings are not permitted. 3. These elements may overhang into the right-of-way so long as a clear pedestrian pathway is maintained. 4. The design of all building elements shall be coordinated with streetscape elements in the public right of way. Any encroachments into the public right of way must meet current County or City standards and be approved prior to installation. 2.3.8 Ground Floor Residential Character The integration of residential buildings within Centers can add to the mixed use nature of these places. Rather than units segregated from other non-residential uses, careful design can integrate residential uses within a mixed -use development. The following standards shall apply to all buildings in Centers with ground floor residential uses: 1. Where residential occurs on the ground floor of a building, a maximum 10- foot setback is allowed, but not required, to accommodate entrance stoops, planters, canopies or landscaped areas. 2. Ground floor residential uses shall provide a clear delineation between public and private space through the use of a patio, landscaped yard, or raised stoop. 3. Residential characteristics such as elevated stoops, entrance canopies, balconies, and other features are required in all residential development. 4. No front loaded garages are permitted in any Center. 2.3.9 Parking Lot Design Within Centers, parking shall be designed to be safe, shaded, and easily accessible, but must be located in such a fashion that it does not dominate the development of a site. The following standards shall apply to all buildings in Centers: 1. Surface parking within Centers is to be limited to the minimum required by governing code. Additional parking above code minimum is permitted provided that it is contained within the footprint of a building, nr in a parking structure, or in a surface lot with enhanced parking lot landscaping} and pedestrian circulation to be determined at PUD zoning. 2. Certain specialized or unique uses may require more surface parking than allowed by Code minimum standards and such parking shall be determined at PUD zoning, subject to otherwise applicable code requirements. Those uses ate C1ICUUI.%Ml LO Us, Lite alternative SLandarda, ptoviSiOn in Section 1CMIM. 3. Pedestrian walkways through parking areas are required and should be carefully defined, particularly where pedestrian and vehicle conflicts are unavoidable. Wellness Way Community Design Guidelines 37 a) Pedestrian walkways shall be provided within all parking lots serving commercial, office and multi -family residential development, and be designed to provide direct connections between all building_ entrances, adjacent rights -of -way, transit stops, and outparcels. b) A minimum of one pedestrian walkway shall be provided for every five head to head parking rows, except where an alternative arrangement is approved as part of a planned unit development. c) At least one pedestrian walkway shall be designed to provide a direct connection from the main pedestrian entrance of any anchor tenant, principle building, or multi -family leasing office to the sidewalk along the perimeter of the development site. d) Pedestrian walkways shall have a minimum width of 14 feet, including a minimum of six feet in width for the sidewalk, and a minimum of eight feet in width for the central landscape strip. All unpaved areas within pedestrian walkways shall have 100 percent landscape coverage in accordance with this Section, and shall conform to the tree spacing requirements provided therein. Shade structures, including pergolas or gazebos, may be substituted for canopy trees. e) Crosswalks connecting pedestrian walkways across parking lot drive aisles shall be designed and constructed to appear visually distinct from the adjacent driving surface through the use of colored or textured concrete. 4. Building exposure shall be maximized and parking areas minimized along all A Sstreet frontages, where parking areas should be located behind buildings and be screened from direct view from the street through the use of landscaping, knee walls, etc. 5. Where parking areas cannot be located behind buildings and are therefore adjacent to public streets, parking areas shall be screened using some combination of landscaping, colonnades, trellises, pergolas, kneewalls, low masonry or concrete walls. 2.3.10 Parking Lot Screening On larger blocks within Centers, parking may be located to the side of�ut-never- n frarrrorthe building. 4his condition Aiafl be amided Mieneve. ponibic.—When parking is visible from public or private A Sttreets, walls, architectural elements, and/or landscaping materials shall be used to screen views. The following standards shall apply to all buildings in Centers: 1. Where parking lots are located adjacent to A Streets, a street wall edge to the sidewalk shall be maintained by a solid kneewall of 30" to 36" in height in order to reduce visual impact of parking fields and headlights. 2. Wall materials should be consistent with the composition of the adjacent building facade. 2.3.11 Service and Storage Yards and Loading Docks The mix of uses in the Centers necessitates a certain amount of service and loading areas. In order to maintain a positive image of building and landscape from the 38 Section 2 1 Districts street, service and loading shall be oriented toward the interior of blocks and screened with landscape. The following standards shall apply to all buildings in Centers: 1. Loading docks should be oriented toward the interior of a block to the extent possible. Where no feasible option exists to orient inward, docks shall be completely screened from view of adjacent public rights of way by an appropriate landscape buffer. In no case shall loading docks be located less than 150 feet from a single family_ residential use. 2. Loading areas are not to interfere with on -site pedestrian and vehicular circulation. Loading areas must be separate from areas that are devoted to public parking and public entrances. 3. Loading operations shall not be conducted on or from a public street. 4. No outdoor storage as a principal use is permitted within the District. Storage of equipment and vehicles shall be within a building or ast enclosed storage yard enclosed and screened from the public right of way and adjacent properties. 5. Service and/or storage yards' should include, but not be limited to, loading areas, refuse and recycle bins, trash compactors, equipment and material storage, utility cabinets and transformers. 6. Service yards will be easily accessible to tenants and service vehicles and shall be located to minimize conflicts with other activities on the site. Public circulation shall be separated from service yards. 7. Service yards may not be located within 150 feet of natrto properties planned or zoned for single family_ residential use. 2.3.12 Landscape, Buffers, Walls, and Fencing for Industrial Sites Within the Multi -Use L District, there should be a focus on creating an image of buildings and landscape rather than parking and service areas. The landscape between the building and public streets is intended to be informal and create a soft appearance over time. Screening landscape is intended to mask the appearance of more industrial elements of sites to allow for integrated uses within the District. The following standards shall apply to all industrial buildings in the Multi -Use L District: 1. Where the parking area is visible from a public street or highway, the area will be screened from view by some combination of landscaping, earth berms and decorative walls. Landscape screens consisting of trees, shrubs, ground cover and earth berms are preferred. 2. All service yards and maintenance equipment must be enclosed and screened from . Screening may be accomplished with a combination of buildings, walls, landscaping, and/or landscaped earth berms. 3. Walls and accessory structures shall be consistent with the building materials, finish and colors used in the main building or buildings. 4. Masonry walls andLar buffer landscaping shall be provided along the side and rear property lines and streets adjacent to property planned or zoned for residential use. 5. Walls or fences of more than 100' in length should be broken up by landscaping, pilasters, offsets in the alignment of the wall or fence, and/or changes in materials and colors. LThose areas required to provide loading, unloading waste management and other services necessary for the operation of the building and its tenants.

Final location and design to be determined at time of PUD zoning, 40 Section 3 1 Mobility and Connectivity Section 3 1 Mobility and Connectivity 3.1 Mobility and Connectivity General Intent Complete streets are a guiding principle for the organization and design of the entire Wellness Way community. This principle supports the most efficient and effective means to maximize access to different methods of movement within and between neighborhoods, wellness spaces, workplaces and commercial centers. Figure 3.1 identifies the major framework roadways within Wellness Way which establish the basic structure for mobility within the community. The roadway network should be thought of as two distinct, but interconnected network elements. These two network elements are the Regional Roadway Network and the Neighborhood Street System. 3.2 Wellness Way Regional Roadway Network This network is defined in Policy I-8.3.1 of the Comprehensive Plan and is comprised of the following roadways: 1. Wellness Way from US 27 to the Orange County Line 2. Hancock Road from Wellness Way to Hartwood Marsh Road 3. Schofield Road from the intersection of Wellness Way and Hancock Road to the Orange County Line 4. CR 455 Extension from Hartwood Marsh Road to Schofirld Road Sawgrass Bay Boulevard 3.2.1 Regional Roadway Network Construction and Financing The network is to be constructed commensurate with the phasing of land development activities in Wellness Way. The objective is to achieve interconnectivity of this network with existing regional roadways to the north and east as quickly as possible, and to minimize reliance on US 27 as the only regional roadway for access to new development activity. In order to achieve an orderly delivery of the Wellness Way Regional Roadway Network, each land-dcvefiopntcrtt rezonine application in Wellness Way must conduct a traffic study to determine the proportionate share of that project's impact on the network. The findings of each study will produce the financial contribution that must be made to the network for each project. at Floject buildout. Wellness Way Community Design Guidelines 41 The County shall consider Transportation Impact Fee Credit (TIFC) agreements with developers and/or property owners who will construct some or all of the roadways in 3.2+{a-.J in exchange for impact fee credits .Inside Wellness Way, only those roadways listed in section 3.2 are eligible for impact fee credits. Each application for zoning approval within Wellness Way share require a (TIFC) agreement to be approved before any land development activity (subdivision approval, mass grading, site infrastructure, etc.) may commence. The TIFC agreement will include a schedule of proportionate share payments to be made by project phase. The TIFC agreement shall allow for the contributions of off -site right-of-way, roadway design, permitting and roadway construction to be creditable against the required proportionate share payments. Development phases may only be advanced once the corresponding proportionate share payment or work/contributions in lieu of payment have been made at the beginning of each phase. Proportionate share payments are transportation impact fee creditable per Florida Statute. If, for any reason, a projeces proportionate share payment is less than the transportation impact fees generated by the project, the project shall still be responsible for its full payment of transportation impact fees once proportionate share payments have be made. 3.2.2 Cross Sections These multi -modal corridors shall be designed to balance the need to provide mobility for a large volume of daily auto users, while supporting the design characteristics of the adjoining land uses. Each of the corridors will be established with sufficient future right-of-way to support four travel lanes with g multi -purpose paths on one both sides of theroadwav conceptual cross section§. for these corridors is are shown in Figurer 3.2.2 (a) and 3.2.2 N. 42 Section 3 1 Mobility and Connectivity UEi-CLD'GH—LE-E 1 J�--E—LE-HLDK"UE I B s A General Thoroughfare type Boulevard Movement Free Vehicular design speed 45 MPH Traffic lanes 4 lanes Parking lane No on -street parking Bike facility Bike lanes Walkway type Sidewalk one side.

Local streets that form an interconnected network of automobile, bicycle, and pedestrian routes providing direct connections to local destinations. 2_Local streets that provide for both intra- and inter -neighborhood connections and thus knit neighborhoods together, not form barriers between them. 3.i. Local streets are both public ways and neighborhood amenities. They shall have continuous sidewalks, bikeways (where appropriate), street trees, and other amenities that support the pedestrian. _43.In order to provide continuous circulation systems for pedestrians, bicyclists and automobiles, unconnected streets such as cul-de-sacs, T turnarounds, and dead ends shall be used only as a last resort. In places where an unconnected street may be desirable or cannot be avoided due to the configuration of developable land, pedestrian and bicycle connectivity shall be provided via through -connections designed into the fabric of the community, wherever practicable. All development plans in Wellness Way shall include streets stubbed to the boundary of the development in all major directions. Development plans shall include streets connecting to all streets stubbed to the boundary of adjacent development plans. In order to continue the interconnected street network of the area from one development to the next, street connections shall be made between adjacent development. This requirement does not apply if it is demonstrated that a connection cannot be made because the existence of one or both of the following conditions: 1. Physical conditions preclude development of a connecting street on the adjacent property, or 2. Buildings or other existing development on adjacent lands, including previously subdivided but vacant lots or parcels, physically preclude a connection . Developments adjacent to school properties shall be required to provide right-of-way and a direct safe access path for pedestrian and bicycle travel to existing and planned school sites and shall connect to the neighborhood's existing pedestrian network. commutrity, P'public access shall be provided to all publicly owned and maintained parks, recreation areas, conservation areas, natural areas, lakes and general open space from a public roadway, sidewalk, or trail. The public roadway, sidewalk, or trail shall be located to provide access between private property, including homes, and the park, recreation area, conservation area, natural area, lake, or general open space. Street design should include provisions for wildlife connectivity across or under roadways that must crostiYraccrsc wetland systems and associated buffers due to no other means of connectivity. Wellness Way Community Design Guidelines 45 PUDs within Wellness Way shall include a safe and continuous bicycle network that encourages cycling as both a means of transportation and a recreational activiW. Bicycle networks shall connect residential neighborhoods with centers, neighborhoods, and parks, and schools and may include: a) Shared lane markings b) Designated bike lanes: c) Separated bike facilities or "cycle tracks": and/or, d) Multi -use paths and trails. 3.3.1 Cross Sections Streets shall be designed consistent with the following criteria. 3.3.1 (a) Neighborhood Connectors. Neighborhood Connectors are intended to be complete streets, designed to accommodate the needs of adjacent users as well as the movement through the interior of a neighborhood or district. They serve many functions beyond transportation, including community structure, identity and pride, utilities, stormwater management, access to private property, connection to the parks, open space and trail system, and a place for social interaction. Conceptual cross sections for these streets are shown in Figures 3.3.1 (al) and (a2). 3.3.1 (b) Local Streets. Local streets are intended to be complete streets, designed to provide access to homes and businesses.

The Network is organized to provide both recreational and functional use to origins and destinations such as parks and schools within Residential areas and employment and commercial areas in Centers. The Network is made up of four tXpes of trails: 1. Trunk Trail 2. Neighborhood Trail 3. Clay Road 4. CONSERV Trail 3.4.1 Cross -Sections The Wellness Ridgeway Network shall be developed consistent with PUD phasing such that trail connections are completed concurrent with development of each neighborhood or center. Illustrative cross sections for these trails are shown in Figures 3.4.1 (a) and (b). 3.4.1 (a) Trunk Trail. Trunk Trails are the main system of trails located within the right of mW of the Primary Roadway Network and Neighborhood Connectors. They must be at least 14' wide and separated from the adJacent roadway by at least 8. Figure 3.4.1 (a): Trunk "Dail Illustrative Section Wellness Way Community Design Guidelines 53 3.4.1 (b) Neighborhood Trail. Neighborhood Trails are a finer -grain system of trails connecting to Trunk Trails that are intended to connect destinations within neighborhoods and centers to parks and other places of activity. Neighborhood Trails must be at least 12'j+ wide. They may be located within street right-of-way or within park or open space tracts. If located adjacent to a street, these trails must be separated from the back of curb (or edge of travel lane if no curb) by at least 8'. Figure 3.4.1 (b): Neighborhood Trail Illustrative Section 3.4.1 (c) Clay Road. The Clay Road is a unique roadway in Wellness Way that has attracted local athletes and visiting users from the U.S and internationally. The rolling terrain and soft material make it ideal for runners of all levels. Because of its unique attributes, development adjacent to the Clay Road should limit its access points and the volume of traffic that would impact the roadway. Continued long term use by runners should be protected from undue conflicts from vehicular traffic. Development adjacent to the Clay Road shall provide trail access to the Clay Road via Neighbodood Rw4ix the internal neighborhood trail system. 3.4.1 (d) CONSERV Trail. CONSERV Trails are a potential series of paths connecting within and through CONSERV. 3.5 InfoStructure The entire roadwav system in Wellness Wav is the Drimary means to deliverin high speed broadband services to businesses and residents. All roadways, including - arterials, collector and local streets, shall Drovide conduit to deliver fiber to each household and business. 54 Section 4 1 Open Space and Parks Section 4 1 Open Space and Parks 4.1 Open Space Wellness Way will preserve a significant amount of land area in the form of open space and natural protected areas. The natural protected areas include wetlands and water bodies. Open space is divided into two separate categories, Wellness Space and Green Space, with each type allowing different uses. 4.1.1 Wellness Space Wellness Space is limited to a cumulative 10% impervious surface ratio for each PUD and includes the following types of areas: 1. Land area that remains minimally developed, such as trails and boardwalks, as part of a natural resource preserve or active/passive recreation area; 2. Land area open to public access and gathering place., Plazas and utban squares 3. Permeable storm water areas if enhanced as amenities using native vegetation; 4. Parks designed consistent with the standards in Section 4.2: and 45. Open water bodies completely surrounded by uninterrupted Wellness Space. 4.1.2 Green Space Green Space includes land areas for the purpose of protecting natural resources or environmental quality, including areas designated for such purposes as flood control, protection of quality or quantity of groundwater or surface water, or protection of vegetative communities or wildlife habitat and shall include land preserved for conservation purposes. Green Space should be maintained in such a way to encourage the proliferation of native flora and fauna. Active recreation is prohibited in Green Space; passive recreation is allowed in Green Space. 4.1.3 Required Open Space PUD's in Wellness Way will identify and reserve 20% of the net acres as Wellness Space and 10% of the net acres as Green Space. If suitable Green Space areas do not allow the PUD to reach the required 10% area, the remainder up to 10% may be designated Wellness Space. Wetlands and naturally created water bodies cannot be counted towards a PUD's Wellness Space or Green Space allocation, with the exception of naturally created water bodies that are completely surrounded by uninterrupted Wellness Space, in which case, up to 25% of thesuch water body may be counted towards the Open Space requirement. A 50-foot wide continuous upland buffer is required around all wetlands and naturally created water bodies counted Wellness Way Community Design Guidelines 55 towards Open Space. In the Conservation Subdivision District, the wetland and waterbody buffer must be undisturbed land with only minimal impacts allowed for an unimproved single track walking path as permitted byjurisdictional authorities. Open Space is meant to provide an amenity to the community and should be designed to promote public access. Open Space tracts are encouraged to be placed in the interior of a PUD. Narrow open space tracts, boaidingborderin the perimeter of a PUD, being used solely as a buffer, shall be &couragednot count toward the Open Space requirement. All open space calculations shall be applied at the PUD and shall be phased consistent with development. 4.2 Parks As a subset of Open Space, the standards for park development support the Guiding Principles of Wellness Way. These principles seek to create a compact urban mixed -use community supported by a diverse mix of uses that provides necessary employment, commercial, housing and lifestyle opportunities for current and future residents of Wellness Way. All parks designed consistent with the standards of this section may be counted toward the required Wellness Space and/or Open Space described in Section 4.1.1 and 4.1.2. The standards for parks are based on the locational relationship between the park and its users. The purpose and intent of the park standards is: 1. To provide a system of parks of varied size, programming, and design that supports a rich mix of land uses that combine to create active, lively neighborhoods and enhance the quality of life for residents of Wellness Way, 2. To design and locate parks in order to create livable and sustainable places that improve with time; 3. To encourage a system of linked parks, wetlands, and lake edges that create a significant network of functional open spaces; and 4. To create an ample supply of parks whose frequent use is encouraged through proper placement, connectivity, and design. 4.2.1 Park Principles The public realm - parks, plazas, conservation lands, trails, greenways, greenwayr, and public streets - are essential to a high quality of life. The benefits of a well -planned system of parks include increased property values, community identity, improved community aesthetics, opportunities for recreation and socializing, protection of natural resources, and multi -modal transportation linkages. Parks are used by residents, employees, and the general public for many different functions, requiring a range of sizes and types. All parks are connected to each other by theg network of sidewalks, trails, and streets. These spaces should be integrated into the fabric of the community along with other public infrastructure systems such as streets, utilities, and stormwater drainage. Therefore, a multitude of parks of different size and 56 Section 4 1 Open Space and Parks character is better than a small number of larger parks. Different aspects of each park fall along a spectrum: • design ranging from formal to informal • use ranging from active to passive • activities ranging from planned and structured to spontaneous and unstructured • sizes ranging from tiny to expansive • single- to multiple -purpose • settings ranging from urban to rural • orientation of the intended users ranging from the local community to the general public • frequency ranging from daily activities to annual events • stormwater design ranging from structured to naturalistic • park shapes and proportions ranging from rectangular to curvy to linear 4.2.2 Required Park Area In order to accommodate a wide range of park sizes and types, all new development within Wellness Way districts shall provide park space classified in the following levels: Level 1: County Pork. The County Park is intended to be a Ugionalcommunity -scale park with a target size of at least 100 acres. The location of the County Park is shown on Figure 2.1: Wellness Way Development District Framework Map dre Fianinvoik . This park is intended to be scaled and designed to ultimately fall under County ownership and maintenance, and is meant to serve the entire Wellness Way community. Level2: Close -to -Home Parks. Close -to -Home Parks are intended to serve day-to-day park needs, provide for the spatial organization of the community, and link homes, offices, and workplaces with outdoor spaces. Close -to -Home Parks shall make up at least five percent of the net residential acreage of each district. Their locations are specified through PUD zoning and the site plan approval process. These parks shall be owned and maintained by a HOA or other similar entity acceptable to the County or the City. Wellness Way Community Design Guidelines 57 4.2.3 Park Location and Service Areas All residential units and all public entrances of non-residential uses included in the development shall be within the service radius of a Close -to -Home Park. Park service radii are measured from the edge of the park parcel or lot and shall be as listed in Table 4.2.3.

Greater than 1 Acre 500' 3W + 200' i-W for each additional acre or portion thereof 2 4.2.4 Park Type Standards All Close -to -Home Parks shall be classified as one of the following park types and conform to the following standards specific to each type. Open spaces not meeting these criteria are allowed within the development but shall not be eligible for either Required Park Area or Location credit. The park types are as listed below. In addition to minimum and maximum sizes and other design criteria, each contains a required group of uses that must be provided within that type of park. Other permitted uses are allowed at the developers' discretion. All park sizes referenced herein are to be calculated per Section 4.2.5. 58 Section 4 1 Open Space and Parks Neighborhood Park.

The following areas may be counted for park size credits: • Upland acreage designed per Park Type Standards, including adjacent upland buffer areas • Dry bottom stormwater management ponds designed as depressional lawns and integrated with other park features consistent with a given park type provided they are sodded, include a skimmer, are dry within 72 hours after a 25-year storm event, and make up less than 75% of the total size of the park they are within • Other accepted LID I practices that make up less than 15% of the total size of the park they are within • Pools, recreation centers, and other community -use structures that make up less than 25% of the total size of the park they are within 2. The following areas may be incorporated into a park, however their acreage shall not be included in the Required Park Area calculation under Section 4.2.2 or applied toward Location criteria under Section 4.2.3. • Wetlands or natural lakes • Wet bottom stormwater management ponds • Parking lots 3. Close -to -Home Parks may be co -located with County Parks. However their acreage shall be counted separately and the County Park area shall not be eligible for incentives and/or bonuses as described in Section 4.2.6. 4.2.61ncentives and Bonuses In order to encourage joint planning of adjacent developments and to facilitate a system of well-connected park spaces, the following incentives may be utilized: 1. A development may utilize the service radius of a park in an adjoining development provided street connections are present. The acreage of the park, however, may only be counted toward the Required Park Area of the development in which it is located. 2. Where parks of different types are co -located, the service radius for location credit shall be calculated on the total contiguous acreage. I 4.2.7 Contextual Design Standards The following design standards shall apply to all development (including both non- residential, residential, and mixed uses) that fronts on a park. These standards are in addition to the District Standards in Section 2. 1. Orientation. Development surrounding a park shall be designed to: • spatially define parks and adjacent streets as positive, usable community elements around which to organize; • promote a positive physical character that supports convenient access to and use of parks; Wellness Way Community Design Guidelines 65 I Low impact design (LID) is an approach to stormwater management that works with nature to manage stormwater as dose to its source as possible. LID employs principles such as preserving and recreating natural landscape features, minimizing imperviousness to create fimcdonal and appealing site drainage that treat stormwater as a resource rather than a waste product. Example LID practices include bioretendon cells, infiltration basins (dry ponds) bioswales, recharge trenches, and constructed wetlands. I Example: a 2 acre "Greenway" which connects a 112 acre "Playground," a 1/2 acre "Community garden," and a 2 acre "Green" has the service radius of a 5 acre park (700'). 66 Section 4 1 Open Space and Parks • give prominence to park spaces as a defining element of community character, and • organize and orient buildings to promote pedestrian activity and a sense of security and community. 2. Building Form. The form of buildings surrounding a park shall: • Respond to the surrounding context and reinforce nodes of activities. • Provide a consistent street edge through rear -accessed vehicular use areas to enhance the character of the context. • Define streets to promote pedestrian activity and sense of place. • Reinforce the character and quality of parks with designs that provide pedestrian orientation and access to the sidewalk. 3. Street Design. Streets that frontsurroaad parks shall: • Be designed foremost for pedestrian comfort, with shade, sidewalks, crosswalks, connected destinations, and protection from automobiles. • Be interconnected and offer direct route options among all locations. • Be designed to keep automobile traffic slow and drivers alert to their surroundings. • Provide on -street parking. 4. Building Design. Buildings surrounding a park shall: • Encourage transparency of windows at ground level to activate the edges of the park. • Give prominence to and visually clarify public entrances. • Use fenestration, color, and materials to establish scale, variation, and patterns to create visually interesting and human -scaled building facades. • Provide direct and convenient access to park uses. 4.2.8 Flexibility in Standards A n 5% variation shall be considered in compliance with the numerical standards of Section 4.2.3 and 4.2.4 provided the park otherwise meets or exceeds the intent and purpose of all other Sections. 4.2.9 Timing of Development of Close -to -Home Parks Plans for Close to Home Parks shall be approved as part of a PUD. Construction of Close to Home Parks shall be completed prior to issuance of a Certificate of Completion for improvements associated with the approved phase of subdivision or development plans. 4.2.10 Park Maintenance 'lhe developer shall be required to maintain all Close to Home Parks at no expense to the County or City. Ownership and maintenance of Close to Home Parks shall be in the name of an HOA, CDD, or other entity acceptable to the County or the City. Wellness Way Community Design Guidelines 67 Section 5 1 Landscape and Natural Resources 5.1 Landscape Standards All development within Wellness Way shall be subject to the Landscaping Standards found in Lake County Land Development Code Sec. 9.01.00 or City of Clermont Land Development Code Chapter 118 as applicable. The following additional standards shall also apply. The landscape in all required buffer areas in Wellness Way shall be composed 100% of native Florida species'-. Through the PUD process, exceptions may be granted for designs that receive irrigation solely from retained stormwater. 5.1.1 Landscape Irrigation All landscape irrigation shall be provided by rr-usc reclaimed water. Another 13 of non -potable water supply may be used for landscape irrigation ifre=use reclaimed water is not available to the PUD. In no instance shall potable water be used for landscape irrigation unless authorized by the St. Johns River Water Management District pursuant to part II of Chapter 373, F.S. Conservation programs, system interconnections and alternative water supply options such as reclaimed water reuse and storage, shall occur when accessible. All development containing irrigated open space shall be required to accept reclaimed water for irrigation when such reclaimed water is available adjacent to the development's boundary. Connection shall be made at the developer's cost. 5.2 Conservation and Preservation Lands 5.2.1 Regionally Significant Natural Resources The Critical Lands and Waters Identification Project (CLIP), and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC) databases shall be consulted during - the preparation of PUDs within Wellness Way. Areas designated as Priority 1 or 2P within the CLIP database and areas within the FFWC database containing known locations of rare and imperiled species of plants and animals shall be given the highest consideration for protection or preservation within a PUD. 5.2.2 identification and Preservation ofXeric Uplands During the preparation of PUDs, upland areas containing xeric or scrub habitats should be analyzed closely for permanent preservation. Large habitat patches in close proximity to each other provide for the greatest species diversity and minimizes 'Native Florida landscape material lists may be found from multiple sources including Florida Native Plant Society_ https://www.fnps.ora/plants/browse UFAFAS b-UU aqL -MS Jo ISTqd lUaw oianap gaEa 43!M pvo saJJoa iiEys papuawE se S3 90'70 •s pm waJSTSUOa sivawasEa uoprAJasuoJgo uoTJEpJOJaJ qOnolql snar aiggnsg uotirm;)said JUauEUIJa agL •SJEJTgEq purl n aJEJ Jo S pa s pirulp;)p 2upriu0a spud n aigE oianapgo suopiod puE spurp5m 5A15said pinogs Juaw olana4 .paper aq iiEgs Jaag 0 go yJp!M a JaAE puE Jaag i go tp !M wnwlulw Ego upsisuo Jagjnq algEUEA E aSEJ yaigM ut algepimqun Joi E sa3lEw Jag;nq palm aJ ay m3pi J aaxa SUJR;Ws PUB SJaA!J Pup spvEpaM paJElosT-Uou spUEpaM paJEios! of XIMF Buys Jaginq ap!M Joog 0 wnwiuiw E pvE s4fld agJ vi paysligEJsa aq IIEgs sauli puEiJaM IEuonarpsun pauTE3a.T iir wolg J j 0 go l.3tgiis wnwiulw oJEpuEw y s4.?ngjaS pun119M S'Z'S 'Qfld agJ Jog uEi uO!lrU1sU05 iiEJano ayJ oiui paiEJ Ju! aq pup waisA spurliNA343 OJ sJ E wT UT JOv! pionE of p;)uu-cid XjInpirD q iiEgs sJaE wl puepaA,'ag!Ipl!M pup slurld Jog m qEq puE SwEaJJS pup EMJaJEM Xq aiJauuoa aJE sa}iEi JalEMgo Moil uTpniJUT sUopyu-T JUEJJO w!

The area has been viewed as an opportunity to diversify the regional economy, protect natural resources and strengthen connectivity with other economic hubs in the region. The original approval of the WWAP envisioned the implementation to occur via master Planned Unit Developments (PUD). In an effort to revisit the original assumptions and to ensure their ongoing validity, Lake County and the City of Clermont have commissioned this Implementation Plan. The Wellness Way Implementation Plan is ajoint effort of the City of Clermont and Lake County to collaboratively activate a +/-15,000-acre area lying between US 27 and State Road 429 (the Orlando Beltway). This effort is founded in the approval of the remedial Wellness Way Area Plan (WWAP) comprehensive plan amendment in 2016 by Lake County. The two local governments view this area as an emerging center for new employment and supporting residential development. Regional growth projections identify demand for new growth from the Horizons West area of Orange County moving westward to south Lake County. Lake County identified the need to develop a comprehensive economic development and branding strategy that achieves the County's desired employment and housing mix. This Implementation Plan is intended to implement the goals, objectives, policies and standards adopted in the WWAP while proposing modifications tto better achieve the intent of the original plan. This plan document is accompanied by two additional work products - Recommended amendments to the WWAP and the proposed Design Guidelines and Standards. PROJECT ADMINISTRATION The consulting team was charged with facilitating a detailed analysis of the issues emanating from the existing regulatory (Future Land Use & Zoning) structure in place, and to build consensus amongst the stakeholders to arrive at the requisite means and methods for building a new high quality, employment based area for the future. To that end, the process undertaken was driven by the following: • Provide ongoing coordination efforts between the City, County and landowners; • Coordinate infrastructure funding, timing and implementation; • Act as City and County "Owners Rep" in building consensus and collaboration between all parties; • Identify conflicts and their resolution early in the process; • Recommend governance structure(s), if applicable; and • Support City and County entitlement efforts. PROJECT PROCESS The process undertaken involved regularly scheduled monthly meetings of the Stakeholder Group. The Stakeholder Group was comprised of: • Landowners, Developers, Homebuilders & Representatives • Elected Officials • City and County Managers • City and County Staff - Planning, Public Works, Economic Development, Public Information, Parks and Recreation) • Lake County School Board • St. Johns Water Management District • Florida Department of Transportation • Other interested individuals A list of Stakeholder Group members is included in Appendix 1. Planning and implementation data were developed in advance of monthly meetings and shared for evaluation and refinement during Stakeholder Group meetings. The consulting team actively engaged individual stakeholders between monthly meetings to listen to their observations and concerns in an effort to build consensus. The process formally began in December 2019. In March 2020, issues associated with COVID-19 forced the process to move from face-to-face meetings to virtual meetings. While this altered the nature of the consulting team's engagement with stakeholders, it did not diminish the commitment to consensus building. Wellness Way I Implementation Plan 5 I I PROJECT APPROACH AND PRINCIPLES The Wellness Way Remedial Comprehensive Plan Amendment, adopted January 5, 2016, served as the starting point for all policy discussions with the Stakeholder Group. Any proposed new policy initiatives and plan strategies were evaluated in light of the adopted remedial amendment. The original intent of the Goals and Objectives for Wellness Way will be respected: • Job creation and economic development • Regional transportation connectivity • Creation of the wellness corridor/recreation/open space, 'green infrastructure" network • Promotion of recreation and healthy living • Water smart approaches • Preservation of scenic resources including topography • Health and wellness community development The following land use/mobility planning principles within the adopted Lake County Comprehensive Plan for Wellness Way served as 'guideposts' for the Implementation Plan: • A hierarchy of place types • A relationship between housing and employment • Promotion of land use densities, intensities and mixed uses that integrate and support alternative transportation modes • Protection and conservation of environmentally sensitive lands • A balance of development, preservation, energy, and water conservation • Decrease in average trip lengths and promotion of internal capture • Emphasis on complete streets and multi -modal facilities • Establishing a Parks and Trails system as an integral part of the regional fabric • A 'school centered' neighborhood development pattern • Pedestrian scale neighborhood design • Interconnectivity of neighborhoods and neighborhoods with commercial/employment centers A key obstacle to plan implementation is the funding of master infrastructure. While certain limited public revenue streams exist, the financing of master infrastructure is largely the responsibility of private development. Intergovernmental Coordination The WWAP is a set of Comprehensive Plan goals, objectives, policies and standards adopted by Lake County. The City of Clermont is not currently bound by these policies and standards. However, the City and County have approved a Joint Planning Area (JPA) agreement and an Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement (ISBA) that address how the two local governments will coordinate the approval of new development and the delivery of services to the area or portions of the area. The goal of this entire process is to move toward a consolidated and consistent set of Comprehensive Plan policies, standards and implementation between the two local governments. Wellness Way I Implementation Plan I ISSUES RAISED DURING THE STAKEHOLDER PROCESS The early portion of the process began with listening to stakeholder concerns. Some of the selected topics that were raised include: • Alternatives to the 1000-acre minimum Master PUD development size; • The requirement for non-residential/employment on each development site; • There may not be sufficient residential yield to support the infrastructure required for Wellness Way; • Residential entitlements do not reflect market demand; • The existence and alignment of the Lake -Orange Connector project; • Creating a consistent branding/marketing identity; • Potential interim changes or recommendations to allow developments to move forward while Implementation Plan is developed; • Timing and delivery of utilities; • Roadway funding; • Alignment of the proposed County Road 4S5 Extension and interchange with the proposed Lake - Orange Connector expressway; • What will the Design Guidelines require of new development; and • How will this effort result in a higher quality built environment that has been produced in the area. Key Issue 1: The requirement of non-residential land set aside for every land holding is not workable in the market. Non-residential/jobs should be concentrated in areas where it makes market sense. This issue is addressed in the plan by: • The implementation of multiple districts (Multi -Use, US 27, Neighborhood) with targeted ranges of non- residential uses • Lowering minimum non-residential requirement in the Neighborhood District • Increasing minimum non-residential requirement in the Multi -Use and US 27 Districts • Allowing higher percentage of non-residential in the Multi -Use and US 27 Districts Key Issue 2: Residential density is too restrictive. This issue is addressed in the plan by: • Potential increase inresidential units allowed in most districts with performance criteria — i.e., infrastructure contributions, exceptional neighborhood design, mix of product type, etc. as outlined in the Design Guidelines and Standards An opportunity exists to expand access to the CONSERV lands for public use as open space and trails. If these rights are secured by the City and/ or County, slightly increased additional residential density could be justified, perhaps in the form of a density bonus program. Key Issue 3. Inflexible percentages of land allocation (30/60/10) This issue is addressed in the plan by: • Maintaining 30% open space as is required by current WWAP • Maintaining a minimum allocation of land for non- residential uses • Setting a minimum target for allocation of land for non-residential uses areawide @ 1.25 jobs/residential unit • Lowering the per square foot (SF)job factor in Multi - Use from 450 SF to 300 SF to recognize changes in workplace characteristics. Maintain at 450 SF in US 27 and Neighborhood. • Allow increase in non-residential land in Multi -Use and US 27 districts Flat Lake is one of several lakes in the Wellness Way area. Key Issue 4: There is a minimum 1,000 acre size for all PUDs. Reliance on other landowners to meet this requirement is unworkable. This issue is addressed in the plan by: • The original 1,000 acre minimum exists due to the unknown quality of design and mix of uses. New recommendations address these questions and eliminate the need for the acreage minimum Key Issue 5: The lack of water, wastewater and reclaimed water utilities to support development of the revised plan. This issue is addressed in the plan by: • Developing strategies for utility extensions/ expansions by individual utility service areas (City of Clermont and LUSI) • Coordination of utility extensions with roadway infrastructure expansion with the primary roadway network and the Lake -Orange Connector Key Issue 6: Specific requirements on development form do not exist. This issue is addressed in the plan by: • Draft Design Guidelines centered on a more detailed approach for the "Wellness Ridgeway" system are conceptualized as a means to interconnect neighborhoods, employment/service centers, and natural amenities Wellness Way I Implementation Plan I CALIBRATING PROGRAMS AND LAND ALLOCATIONS NON-RESIDENTIAL LAND USES The current WWAP approaches the location of future employment by encouraging job creation in Job Hubs' Land areas set aside for the purposes of non- residential uses will be termed a Job Hub. A Job Hub refers only to the land upon which vertical non-residential construction will be built. Mixed use areas may have a mix of Job Hub (non-residential) and residential acreage. All Job Hubs shall be appropriately placed in commercially viable locations located along an arterial or collector road. Job Hubs are restricted to non-residential uses only, except in cases of multi -level mixed -use development where residential uses will be located above non-residential uses. In these cases, the residential uses must be built concurrently or after the construction of the non- residential uses. Wellness Way Remedial Plan Amendment, 2016 While the WWAP offers the ability for non-contiguous property owners to pursue a joint Master PUD, the likely outcome of this policy will result in employment uses being distributed throughout the Wellness Way area. During the current stakeholder engagement process, many landowners expressed concern about meeting the minimum size for a Master PUD, and the requirement for i uV Tnwt 27 Lake Adain i Y II we II LANE LOVIAA W —ice 1 Planned alignment of Lake -Orange Connector (CFX) employment/non-residential uses where market conditions do not and will not likely ever support those uses. A re- visiting of this requirement could provide a more rational implementation of the WWAP THE LAKE -ORANGE CONNECTOR During the development of the original WWAP the exact location of the Lake -Orange Connecter Expressway was unknown. The Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) has approved the alignment and has funded the design of the roadway. The establishment of the final alignment and the advancement of its funding are significant events in the creation of highly attractive future employment centers. The current WWAP envisions a concentration in the Town Center District, and the balance of employment occurring throughout the +/-1S,000-acre Wellness Way planning area. The introduction of the Lake -Orange Connector into the development plan for Wellness Way creates a new dynamic for the location of future employment land uses. In lieu of encouraging the disbursement of future employment, the opportunity exists to concentrate employment a two key centers of activity —1) the area around the intersection of Wellness Way and US 27, and 2) the new planned interchange of the Lake -Orange Connector and County Road 455. J//a29,.-- I FY�Vpi I /- .., Mlp i CAM/V7 JOBS TO HOUSEHOLD RATIO The original WWAP envisioned that employment would be located in Job Hubs in a distributed, and 'conventional' manner — in buildings designed for commercial, service, and industrial activities. The existing WWAP establishes the fundamental principle of requiring land for non-residential uses be set aside in each proposed development to insure that Wellness Way would contain a balance between employment and housing. However, the effects of COVID-19 and the resulting pandemic have revealed the weaknesses of the traditional view of employment — where it's located and what sectors will thrive. As a result, the place of employment for many non -essential workers has shifted away from remote locations and into the home. This undermines the original assumptions built into the existing WWAP. The work -at-home component of the American workforce is not a new phenomenon. There has been a steady increase in home -based employment beginning as far back as 2010. The American Community Survey (ACS) conducted by the US Census Bureau measures the percentage of the US economy composed of employment at home. A comparison of new development throughout the region shows two trends that impact planning assumptions for Wellness Way. First, the actual number of total jobs filled per dwelling unit is significantly less than the number required in the original WWAP Among three comparable development areas, the ACS reports an average jobs -to - dwelling unit ratio of 1.26 (Census Bureau, 2018). This is 20% lower than the original WWAP requirement of 1.60. In addition, nearly 10% of jobs are held by those working at home. This proportion has steadily increased since 2010. The combination of these trends means that the number of "external" jobs for each dwelling unit is around 1.14. These trends were in motion prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has had a profound effect on the nature of employment worldwide. In following recent events and trends, an uncertainty exists regarding the future nature of employment, more specifically how, when and where it may occur. The impact of the current pandemic has driven many jobs that once were located in employment buildings into a home - based setting. Identifying a new approach to measuring employment is warranted, including acknowledging the existence of W-2 (salaried) and 1099 (contract) workers in a home -based environment. Many experts believe that a significant percentage of the population can exist in a productive work -from -home environment, thereby saving significant dollars in corporate overhead while also increasing the quality of life for the workforce. Sixty-two percent of employed Americans are now or have worked from home during the Covid-19 pandemic (Friedman, 2020). The future of employment and where it will primarily be located is uncertain. Until there is a permanent solution to the Covid-19 pandemic, employment in the home will certainly remain. A recent Gallup survey found that three in five workers who have worked at home during the pandemic would prefer to continue to work at home after all health -related restrictions are lifted (Brenan, 2020). The assumptions built into the development of the WWAP did not, and could not, anticipate the implications of a pandemic and the quick evolution in societal norms as it pertains to work environments. The Gallup poll of U.S. workers combined with an already existing non-traditional employment base at home could be a significant 'sea change' in the physical manifestation of employment in our culture. If true, then the land use projections for employment in "typical", commercial and office environments has to be re -imagined. The implication of these trends for Wellness Way means that the jobs -to -housing ratio originally envisioned for the WWAP should be revised to reflect a more realistic assumption. The updated ratio used for this Implementation Plan is 1.26 and is reflected in the proposed change to pertinent the Comprehensive Plan policy.

The detailed tables showing the existing and proposed development and land allocation programs are included in Appendix 2. The following is a summary of the proposed program: Program Allocation Non - Residential Maximum Program @ Residential Minimum Program Area FAR (SF) (DU) Existing WWAP 11,099,724 15,066 Proposed Implementation Plan 8,821,633 19,377 Difference (2,278,091) 4,311 *A detailed breakdown of these proposed allocations is included in Appendix 2. Table 2 - Proposed Minimum Non -Residential and Maximum Residential Program Source: Levey Consulting and GAI Consultants, 2020 I UPDATED LAND USE AND TRANSPORTATION PLAN URBAN DESIGN AND COMMUNITY CHARACTER The building blocks of urban design in Wellness Way are Centers, Residential areas, and Open Space, all connected by a robust livable transportation network. Residential Areas Residential development will be organized in the form of neighborhoods. A neighborhood generally means the area defined by a single standard pedestrian -shed of about 1/2-mile diameter. The physical center of the neighborhood should have an important traffic intersection associated with a civic or commercial use. The edges of the neighborhood should be designed to blend into an adjacent neighborhood or district without buffer. Housing in these areas is intended to be "human scale". Residences should not overly dominate streets, but should foster diversity in design, and maintain a consistent community character. Houses front the local street system and public spaces with entries, balconies, porches, architectural features, and activities to enliven the streets and create safe and pleasant walking environments. Alternative housing forms, such as small -lot single family, bungalow single family, townhomes, small-scale apartments, and accessory dwelling units ('granny flats") that provide a diversity of housing opportunities are encouraged. This will allow people with a range of different ages and incomes to live in the neighborhood of their choice as a diverse community. Higher residential densities should generally be located adjacent to a Center in order to serve as a transition between the higher densities and intensities of the Center and the relatively lower densities of the neighborhoods. Neighborhoods are pedestrian and bicycle friendly, and should be sized so that dwellings are generally within a maximum five-minute walk of a Center or a neighborhood park. Centers Centers are places with employment as a central purpose, with ancillary residential and service uses. These uses are organized around a 'block structure' providing for vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle access in and between blocks. Bicycle and pedestrian facilities will be found along all major roadways and into and through Centers to promote access from all residential use areas. As the most intensely developed areas in the community, Centers are encouraged to have a wide varety of building types. Centers in neighborhoods could have civic or small- scale commercial or office uses. The Wellness Way/US 27 Center could have single and multi -tenant retail, office and services buildings that support regional employment of varying types while also serving the community level retail and services for surrounding neighborhoods. The CR455 Center may see similar uses, but could also include large scale logistics, distribution, and similar facilities to Wellness Way I Implementation Plan 1 arm' AL 1— J A _' Figure 2: Wellness Way Urban Form , Diagram [m] Center [m] Residential (Transitional Density) [aye] Residential [M] Open Space [N] Waterbodies [—] Framework Roadways [---] Neighborhood Connectors [—] Clay Road (Preserved) [M] County Park [Q] Conceptual Neighborhood Form facilitate development as a logistics hub for manufacturing and distribution facilities within the context of the broader regional transportation framework. Residential uses should be integrated into the overall design of Centers, and the edges of all Centers should be designed to transition to adjacent development based on the character of the adjoining uses. Open Space The definition of open space, wellness space and green space remain as defined in the existing WWAP. Open Space is meant to provide an amenity to the community and will be designed to promote public access. A significant amount of open space and natural protected areas will tie together the Residential Areas and Centers in Wellness Way. The natural protected areas include wetlands and water bodies. Open space is divided into two separate categories, Wellness Space and Green Space, with each type allowing different uses. Wellness Space includes land area that remains minimally developed, such as trails and boardwalks, as part of a natural resource preserve or active/passive recreation area, land area open to public access and gathering places, permeable stormwater areas enhanced as amenities, parks, and open water bodies completely surrounded by uninterrupted Wellness Space. Green Space includes land areas for the purpose of protecting natural resources or environmental quality, including areas designated for such purposes as flood control, protection of quality or quantity of groundwater or surface water, or protection of vegetative communities or wildlife habitat, including land preserved for conservation purposes. Green Space should be maintained in such a way to encourage the proliferation of native flora and fauna. CONSERV The CONSERV lands represent a resource that could have public benefit use beyond its reclaimed water storage and disposal benefits. During this planning process a dialogue has started with the City of Orlando and Orange County, the joint owners of CONSERV, about limited public access for trail use. The graphics below indicate the intended character of the public access rights sought from CONSERV. CONSERV has been working with certain property owners for a 'land swap' to consolidate their holdings in a configuration that better serves the needs of their operations. The lands owned by CONSERV represent an opportunity to allow limited public access to designated portions of the property that don't interfere with present or future Conserve operations. Public access to these lands would enhance the quality of the built environment in the City of Clermont and south Lake County. The City of Clermont and Lake County are desirous of exploring a plan with Conserve for portions of the Conserve lands that would create an appropriate level of public access, under a set of operating principles that address issues such as type of access, improvements, costs, hours of operation, liability, and other issues necessary to satisfy the concerns of the City, County, and CONSERV. so& level G Sb.W Potential trail character in CONSERV Way Wellness Way I Implementation Plan TRANSPORTATION Complete streets are a guiding principle for the organization and design of the entire Wellness Way community. This principle supports the most efficient and effective means to maximize access to different methods of movement within and between neighborhoods, wellness spaces, workplaces and commercial centers. The Wellness Way Roadway Network identifies the major framework roadways within Wellness Way which establish the basic structure for mobility within the community. The roadway network should be thought of as two distinct, but interconnected network elements. These two network elements are the Primary Roadway Network and the Neighborhood Street System. The design of new neighborhoods in Wellness Way is intended to achieve mobility options and connectivity elements within and between neighborhoods:. This will be accomplished by ensuring: Hypothetical section of a primary roadway Primary Roadway Network • Local streets that form an interconnected network of automobile, bicycle, and pedestrian routes providing direct connections to local destinations. • Local streets that provide for both intra- and inter -neighborhood connections and thus knit neighborhoods together, not form barriers between them. • Local streets are both public ways and neighborhood amenities. They shall have continuous sidewalks, bikeways (where appropriate), street trees, and other amenities that support the pedestrian. • In order to provide continuous circulation systems for pedestrians, bicyclists and automobiles, unconnected streets such as cul-de-sacs, T- turnarounds, and dead ends shall be used only as a last resort. In places where an unconnected street may be desirable or cannot be avoided due to the configuration of developable land, pedestrian and bicycle connectivity shall be provided via through -connections designed into the fabric of the community, wherever practicable. The Primary Roadway Network is the system of regional level multimodal roadways that is generally consistent with the Wellness Way Road Network shown in Figure 3. It is the primary means of delivering transportation capacity to the Wellness Way planning area. Neighborhood Connectors Neighborhood Connectors are intended to be complete streets, designed to accommodate the needs of adjacent users as well as the movement through the interior of a Residential area or Center. They serve many functions beyond transportation, including community structure, identity and pride, utilities, stormwater management, access to private property, connection to the parks, open space and trail system, and a place for social interaction. Hypothetical section of a Neighborhood Connector Local Streets Local streets are also intended to be complete streets, designed to provide access to homes and businesses. They, too, serve many functions beyond transportation, including community structure, identity and pride, utilities, stormwater management, access to private property, connection to the parks, open space and trail system, and a place for social interaction. Hypothetical section of a Local Street Wellness Way I Implementation Plan Figure 3: Wellness Way Road Network [—] Primary Roadways [---] Neighborhood Connectors PARK/OPEN SPACE/TRAILS Wellness Way will be a compact urban mixed -use community supported by a diverse mix of uses that provides necessary employment, commercial, housing and lifestyle opportunities for current and future residents of Wellness Way. The park system will support this by including parks of varied size, programming, and design that supports a rich mix of land uses that combine to create active, lively neighborhoods and enhance the quality of life for residents of Wellness Way. These parks should be designed and located in a way that creates livable and sustainable places that improve with time. The parks should be linked with wetlands and lake edges that create a significant network of functional open spaces. Finally, there should be an ample supply of parks whose frequent use is encouraged through proper placement, connectivity, and design. The public realm - parks, plazas, conservation lands, trails, greenways, and public streets - are essential to a high quality of life. The benefits of a well -planned system of parks include increased property values, community identity, improved community aesthetics, opportunities for recreation and socializing, protection of natural resources, and multi -modal transportation linkages. Parks are used by residents, employees, and the general public for many different functions, requiring a range of sizes and types. All parks are connected to each other by a network of sidewalks, trails, and streets. These spaces should be integrated into the fabric of the community along with other public infrastructure systems such as streets, utilities, and stormwater drainage. Therefore, a multitude of parks of different size and character is better than a small number of larger parks. Different aspects of each park fall along a spectrum: • design ranging from formal to informal • use ranging from active to passive • activities ranging from planned and structured to spontaneous and unstructured • sizes ranging from tiny to expansive • single- to multiple -purpose • settings ranging from urban to rural • orientation of the intended users ranging from the local community to the general public • frequency ranging from daily activities to annual events • stormwater design ranging from structured to naturalistic • park shapes and proportions ranging from rectangular to curvy to linear Parks linked with wetlands and lake edges to create a significant network of functional open spaces is a key driver of community character in Wellness Way. Wellness Way I Implementation Plan Wellness Ridgeway The Wellness Ridgeway Network is intended to be a system of trails providing non -motorized transportation within and through Wellness Way. The Network is organized to provide both recreational and functional use to origins and destinations such as parks and schools within Residential areas and employment and commercial areas in Centers. The Network is made up of four types of trails: • Trunk Trails are the main system of trails located within the right of way of the Primary Roadway Network and Neighborhood Connectors. They are generally at least 14' wide. • Neighborhood Trails are a finer -grain system of trails connecting to Trunk Trails that are intended to connect destinations within neighborhoods and centers to parks and other places of activity. Neighborhood Trails are generally 12' wide. They may be located within street right-of-way or within park or open space tracts. The Clay Road is a unique roadway in Wellness Way that has attracted local athletes and visiting users from the U.S and internationally. The rolling terrain and soft material make it ideal for runners of all levels. Because of its unique attributes, development adjacent to the Clay Road should limit its access points and the volume of traffic that would impact the roadway. Continued long term use by runners should be protected from undue conflicts from vehicular traffic. Development adjacent to the Clay Road needs to provide trail access to the Clay Road via the internal neighborhood trail system. • CONSERV Trails are a potential series of paths connecting within and through CONSERV. Hypothetical section of a Trunk Trail A Hypothetical section of a Neighborhood Trail Existing Clay Road I IMPLEMENTATION FRAMEWORKS DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT FRAMEWORK In order to implement the built form concepts of this plan, a revised set of Development Districts are recommended. These Districts link the desired elements of the patterns of Neighborhoods, Centers, and Open Space with the natural and emerging built context of the community. The recommended Districts are as follows: Neighborhood - intended to support lower density neighborhood development outside the boundaries of Wellness Way's community and employment centers in the US 27 and Multi -Use Districts. US 27 - intended to support moderate density residential, commercial, and employment uses that serve the daily needs of the residents and employees from nearby neighborhoods and workplaces. Multi -Use - intended to be the primary concentration of employment and non-residential uses in Wellness Way. The Multi -Use L District is intended to facilitate the development of logistics -based sites proximate to the expressway system, while the Multi -Use W District is envisioned as the major concentration of jobs along US 27. Conservation Subdivision - intended to promote a balance between carefully designed residential development while supporting the ecological value of the 'mosaic' of wetlands and uplands that characterize the area. Wellness Way North - intended to carry forward the existing Wellness Way Area Plan allocation of low density residential with the required minimum of non-residential/ employment square footage for the area north of CONSERV. CONSERV - intended to recognize the public ownership nature of the land holding permitting public facilities and encouraging public access as an open space amenity.

The proposed arterial roadways as generally depicted on the Future Land Use Map make up the primary roadway network. Final primary roadway alignments and additional connections may be determined in the PUD process. The objective establishes two important principles —1) reducing vehicle trips and trip lengths through mixed use development, and 2) an interconnected transportation network. These principles are carried forward in this implementation plan and are enhanced by virtue of the revised development framework. Transportation and Mixed -Use Development The original Wellness Way development framework sought to distribute jobs throughout the planning area. This concept is proposed to be modified with the creation of the Multi -Use and US 27 Districts, which allow for a higher concentration of employment at areas where the highest concentration of infrastructure is planned to support the higher intensity land uses. The proposed WW framework reduces the obligation for employment land uses in the Neighborhood District. Overall, the original planned program and mix of housing and employment land uses has not been significantly altered from the original planning concept. Interconnected Transportation Network The planned Transportation Network is a system of hierarchical facilities and travel modes. At the highest level are limited and controlled access highways. These include US 27 and the planned Lake -Orange Connector Expressway (The "Connector"). During the entitlement of Project Olympus, the FDOT made it clear that development in Wellness Way could not only use capacity on US 27 but had to create alternative corridors to the east and north early in the development process. As a result, the concept of the Wellness Way Roadway Network was further refined and is discussed below. At the time of the original Wellness Way adoption, the location of the Connector was unknown. Now that the alignment has been approved and the Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) has let design contracts, this implementation plan reflects the impact of this new limited access corridor on the revised development framework. The implications of the Connector are significant. The corridor location and planned interchange at County Road 455 Extension presents a unique economic development opportunity that supports the updated development framework. Wellness Way Roadway Network The primary system of mobility in Wellness Way is the Primary Roadway Network as established by policy in the Lake County Comprehensive Plan: Policy 1-8.3.1 Primary Roadway Network System -wide transportation capacity within the WWUSA area shall be achieved through the design and development of on interconnected, multi -modal roadway network with appropriately spaced and properly sized roadway, pedestrian, bicycle, transit and alternative vehicular components. Planned Unit Developments (PUD) within the WWUSA shall be generally consistent with the primary roadway network identified on the Framework Map. Any deviations from the number and location of primary roadways identified on the Framework Map shall not deteriorate the high level of interconnectivity within the Urban Service Area's network. Deviations to a significant extent are possible to protect environmentally sensitive lands so long as the continuity of the network and each of the multimodal features for that facility are maintained. In 2019, the Lake County adopted Resolution 2019- XXX in support of the City of Clermont's entitlement of Project Olympus and the South Lake Crossings PUD. In that resolution, Lake County set out which roadway corridors would be considered as the Wellness Way Primary Roadway Network. These corridors include the following: a. Wellness Way from US 27 to the Orange County line; b. Hancock Road from Wellness Way to Hartwood Marsh Road; c. Schofield Road from the intersection of Wellness Way and Hancock Road to the Orange County line; and d. CR 455 Extension from Hartwood Marsh Road to Schofield Road. Subsequent to the establishment of these corridors, the analysis for this Implementation Plan uncovered the need to extend item (d) the CR 455 Extension south of the Lake Orange Connector to Sawgrass Bay Boulevard. Implementation of the Roadway Network The initial delivery of the Primary Roadway Network is largely the responsibility of private landowners. While Lake County has conducted a PD & E study for the extension of CR 455 to Schofield Road. Efforts are being made to gain the cooperation of landowners via agreements on alignment and dedication of rights -of -way and easements. The other roadway corridors (a through d above) will require cooperation with landowners and developers to design, permit and construct the roadways. Wellness Way I Implementation Plan sAeMpeoa Aiewud 1-1 laomewei j uoijeliodsuejl AeM ssaullaM :S ainbi j An analysis of the financial capacity of County roadway impact fees for this area was conducted to determine whether the roadway network could be constructed with revenues from the planned development in the area. The key to early success in Wellness Way requires that roadways be constructed early before significant volume of development occurs, and that the roadways provide access to the external network. Failure to do so will load initial traffic solely onto US 27. Developing connectivity of Wellness Way from US 27 to SR 429 in Orange County is the highest priority. Second in importance is connecting Hancock Road from Wellness Way to Hartwood Marsh Road. Table 3 shows the estimated costs to deliver two lanes of connectivity on these two roadways. The network included in Table 4 can largely be funded through Transportation Impact Fee Agreements that reward developers credits for design, permitting and construction of roadway segments undertaken by the private sector. An examination of Lake County transportation impact fee revenues confirms that sufficient revenue exists to construct the first two lanes of the network. In addition, the improvement of Wellness way to Hancock Road and the improvement of Schofield Road from Wellness Way to the Orange County line is the responsibility of Cemex pursuant to a 2017 agreement with Lake County. The success of a program like this where the roadway network is constructed by the private sector must be enforced at the time of development approval. Every project within Wellness Way must be obligated to pay their proportional share cost of the roadway network via a Transportation Impact Fee agreement with Lake County. It is imperative that projects that will be constructed in phases be obligated to make proportionate share payments or construct improvements by each phase. Allowing multi- phase projects to proceed without requiring payments or improvements by phase will result in the failure to provide roadway infrastructure commensurate with the impacts of development. K-12 EDUCATION FACILITIES FRAMEWORK The success of Wellness Way as a location for higher quality residential neighborhoods is contingent upon many factors. The timely construction of new K-12 schools is key to successful development of Wellness Way. The Lake County School Board provided an overall impact analysis of the adopted Wellness Way Area Plan program. That analysis is contained in Appendix 3. The impact provided by the School Board is shown in Table 5. As a result of the findings in the Table 5, the resulting demand for new K-12 facilities is based on the complete buildout of the maximum density permitted under the currently adopted residential entitlement. Assuming that no active adult/age restricted communities are developed within Wellness Way, the buildout program would require: 2 Elementary and/or K-8 Schools (or combination of both) • 1 Middle School • 1 High School As a result of the findings in the Table 6, the resulting demand for new K-12 facilities is based on the complete buildout of the maximum density permitted under the updated plan residential entitlement. Assuming that no active adult/age restricted communities are developed within Wellness Way, the buildout program would require one additional Elementary School: • 3 Elementary and/or K-8 Schools (or combination of both) • 1 Middle School • 1 High School The timing of school facility development is dependent on the timing of residential development within Wellness Way. There are existing land use ownership patterns and existing uses that will like delay residential development for a considerable period of time. These include the active mine in Wellness Way North and the proposed Cemex mine along Schofield Road. In addition, the current ownership Preliminary Planning Level Construction Cost Estimates Length Estimated Construction Construction Segment Roadway Segment (Feet) Length (Miles) Construction Type Cost Per Mile Cost Estimate A Wellness Way US 27 to Hancock Road 3300 0.61 Widen (to the inside) to a 4lane divided urban $ 2,930,000 $ 1,787,300 C Wellness Way Karr -Residential Property Line to County Line 11750 2.23 New Construction, undivided 2-lane rural road with 4' paved shoulder $ 2,240,000 $ 4,984,948 E Hancock Road Fuqua South Property Line to Karr -Swap North Property Line 3500 0.66 New Construction. undivided 2-lane rural road with 4' paved shoulder S 2.240.000 5 1,484,848 Table 4 - Preliminary Planning Level Construction Cost Estimates Source: VHB, 2020 Cost ROW (Segments C and E) - S 1,100,000 Contingency 10% $ 1507,802 Design 12% $ 1:809,362 Construction Engineering Inspection 10% $ 1,658,582 Estimated Cost $ 21,153,766 Wellness Way I Implementation Plan (Arnold) of a large portion of the Conservation Subdivision District is not pursuing active development and is desirous of keeping the land in agricultural use. While these three land holdings are less likely to result in near term active residential development, they can always transition to residential development. For long term school planning purposes, these lands are likely to develop later in the twenty-year planning period rather than sooner. Another factor to be considered is that there is a high likelihood that new age -restricted, active adult communities will emerge as a component of the projected development program. A twenty-year residential absorption plan was developed and is included as Appendix 4. This model assumes the activation of the most likely properties and provides the School Board and property owners a template for the most immediate demands on school capacity. It assumes ten percent of the developed units will be age -restricted/ active adult. The result of the model calls for the impacts from Wellness Way residential development. If the impact of newly occupied dwelling units begins in 2023, then the model shows that a K-8 school would be fully occupied by 2033. However, school capacity planning doesn't exist in a vacuum and isn't limited to artificial planning boundaries like Wellness Way. The School Board has existing capacity issues in the vicinity and the impacts of new residential development in Wellness Way will confound those issues. This is especially true at the high school level. Given the lead time in securing adequate land and capital improvement program funding, the detailed planning for the first K-8 and high school facilities should begin well ahead of the impacts of the projected new development.

For all practical purposes, two of these systems will be significant providers in the Wellness Way Planning Area. The original WWAP focused on system and resource capacity. The emphasis in this implementation plan is the facilitating the extension of collection and distribution lines within the respective service areas. Large portions of the planning area are remote and removed from any existing facilities. Wellness Way Utility Providers City of Clermont The City of Clermont has master planned their service territory. There are no collection and distribution facilities south of Hartwood Marsh Road. The opportunity to activate the Multi -Use W District and its planned employment is dependent upon the expansion of distribution and collection lines. A utility agreement exists between the City of Clermont and Project Olympus. However, the developer has not taken any steps to proceed under the provisions of the agreement. The developer of the South Lake Crossings PUD has been negotiating with the City on the extension of collection and distribution facilities to serve the Hancock Road corridor as shown below. To date, no agreement has been reached on cost allocation and construction scheduling. A preliminary cost allocation methodology has been established for the various property owners within the western portion of the City of Clermont service area, as shown in Appendix 5. This methodology would serve as the basis for cost sharing using the total ERU/% of ERU approach. The $ costs will change as the overall project costs change. ft 0.nm�� Master Lift Stotion (VHB) Wellness Way I Implementation Plan LUST The Multi -Use L District lies within the LUSI service territory. To date, no utility master plan has been produced by LUSI for the eastern portion of the service area. LUSI has facilities in the US 27 corridor and residential development is underway with US 27 frontage. Potable Water LUSI has been evaluating the long-term needs for utility planning for the Wellness Way corridor to determine the treatment capacity requirements. The utility has modeled the development program and integrated it into their long-range plans for potable water supply utilizing the main pipeline along US 27. This has allowed service to be provided to the earlier developments that front US 27. An additional water treatment facility has long been planned for this area including new lower Floridan wells which would be permitted with the renewal of the Utility's Consumptive Use Permit (CUP) in 2024. The CUP capacity is projected to be exceeded around the time the CUP will expire in 2024. Commencement of the CUP renewal should begin in 2022. The St. Johns River Water Management District will likely only allow the CUP to be extended in 7-10-year increments so there will be several iterations of the process during the development of Wellness Way. The utility has the treatment capacity permitted through FDEP to provide water for over ten years and the revision to the water supply withdrawal quantities in the CUP renewal will allow that growth. Wastewater LUSI has completed a generalized capacity analysis for the area and believes it can expand existing treatment facilities to meet the long-term needs. The existing system treatment capacity is less than 60% used and will have available capacity through 2030 with a goal to start developing expansion planning around 2024 depending on development pressures. In lieu of building out the existing capacity in the US 27 corridor, a new facility within the Wellness Way area is an option. Development of additional capacity generally takes 2-3 years to complete, so this can proceed without impeding development. The existing collection system lies within a congested right- of-way in US 27 and a new treatment plant closer to end users would likely be a more efficient approach to service delivery. Co -located Water and Wastewater Facility LUSI has expressed an in intertest in developing a co - located utility facility within the eastern portion of their service area. The area is sufficiently large to provide flexible options for an ultimate configuration and much of this infrastructure will be dependent on the siting of a new wastewater facility. A site of approximately 20 acres would be needed for such a facility. Property owners (Karr, Kahlert and/or Roper) are encouraged to approach the utility to begin the planning for this utility facility. This is especially important to be done as Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) designs and acquires right-of- way for the Lake -Orange Connector. Siting a new regional potable water treatment facility in the Wellness Way area is critical but planning and design cannot be completed until land is allocated for the purpose. At current growth rates and depending on how Wellness Way develops LUSI is not projecting a need to construct a new potable water treatment facility for 5-10 years. The design and development of additional treatment capacity typically takes 2-3 years. However, with the opening of the CR 455 and Lake -Orange Connector interchange in 2025, it would be prudent for landowners to engage the utility now regarding the 20-acre facility siting. TECHNOLOGY/TELECOM STRATEGY Knowledge is the engine of an innovation economy. Data is its fuel. The capacity to transmit and share that data is essential to building an environment that will attract new industries in the innovation economy and achieve the vision of Wellness Way. (Levey, 2018) Corporate site selectors now consider high-speed broadband as an essential service similar to wet utilities. It often can be the differentiator between competitive sites. Ensuring that cost-effective high-speed broadband capacity is provided to every new development, commercial, industrial or residential, is essential for a successful economic development strategy in Wellness Way. Without that infrastructure provided early in the evolution of Wellness Way, the area will not be competitive in the regional economy. Given the effects of the COVID-19 — moving many workers from traditional workplaces into their homes — highlights how important high speed broadband service has been and will be to sustaining economic activity. It is estimated that 56% of the U.S. workforce holds jobs that are compatible with remote work. The longer people are required to work remotely, the greater the adoption of remote work will be once the current pandemic is resolved. (Lister, 2020). This has significant implications for Wellness Way as the location of future employment increases the significance of the home as a workplace. The City of Clermont requires fiber-optic conduit to be provided in major roadway rights -of -way for the City's public safety communications purposes. This is a good policy that ensures the City's telecom network grows as the City grows. However, the need for wider purposed broadband is an essential component of economic development. The implementing development regulations for Wellness Way should require high-speed broad band infrastructure delivered to each busines and residence in Wellness Way. PUBLIC SAFETY FRAMEWORK The Wellness Way area is served by Lake County Fire Rescue facilities to the south and City of Clermont Fire Department services from the north. The City has annexed two initial projects — South Lake Crossings PUD and the Olympus Sports and Entertainment PUD. During the annexation process, the City required the designation of a fire/EMS facility within the Olympus project. Given the location of the proposed Olympus public safety facility, it is highly recommended that the City of Clermont and Lake County explore a shared facility or a contract for service arrangement. This would be an opportunity for both governments to deliver public safety services in an efficient and effective manner. Proposed Project Olympus Fire/EMS Station ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES The existing Wellness Way Area Plan identifies targeted industries that are anticipated to be attracted to the area. Policy 1-8.1.2 sets out the list of industry sectors as follows: A. Ag-Tech B. Eco-tourism and Agri -tourism C. Education and Health Services D. Human Performance, Sports Medicine and Sports Training E. Leisure and Hospitality F. Manufacturing G. Medical and bio-medical H. Professional and Business Services I. Research Facilities J. Retail Trade K. Transportation, Trade and Utilities It should be noted that the targeted industry list is not intended to limit consideration of incentives tojust the list above. The County's approach is broad based and focuses on the quality of employment, salary levels, and the size of the private investment. Lake County recently updated its economic development incentive program to expand eligible companies based on a combination of number of jobs created and initial capital investment. See Table 7. Number of Minimum Table 7 - Lake County Qualifying Capital Economic Development TIER Jobs Investment Incentive Program 10 $1 Million Source: Lake County 25 $10 Million Ordinance 2020-49 100 $10 Million During the Stakeholder process, a more focused understanding of the economic potential of Wellness Way emerged. The establishment of the two Multi -Use Districts in the recommended amendments to the Lake County Comprehensive Plan reflect this better understanding of the future location of employment. The eastern Multi -Use District centered on US 27 and the future Wellness Way is where the proposed Olympus Sports and Entertainment project is located. This project envisions the area emerging as a mixed use, health and wellness -based center, with clinical health care and supporting activities as the focus of the District. The western Multi -Use District is centered on the future interchange of County Road 455 and the Lake Orange Connector. During the Stakeholder process, this area emerged as a potential major regional center for logistics and distribution. As Lake County and the City of Clermont collaboratively execute on the Wellness Way plan, these two areas should be the focus of their economic development and recruitment efforts.

The Wellness Way (WW) Sector Plan and proposed transportation improvements are expected to bring significant housing development to the area that will affect the school district's long-term enrollment. These improvements include major east west roads — Wellness Way and the CFX East-West Connector. Schofield Road will be improved and extended to the Orange County line. The initial WW area plan proposed a maximum of 16,180 dwelling units. (12,944 SF and 3,236) Based on this number of dwelling units the district would need three elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school to serve the students generated by the Wellness Way area.

However, it should - -- also be noted that the Wellness Way Area is located in school concurrency service area(CSA) #14. There are active residential developments, proceeding through the final stages of development. The majority of these protects have reserved school capacity. Currently there are approximately twelve (12) projects outside the Wellness Way Plan area to the south. These projects total 5,300 units estimated to generate 1,726 students. The District's capital protects that have been planned may address a portion of the WWAP's impact but were not planned to address the overall Wellness Way Area proiects. Currently the School District does not have the necessary school sites to serve the needs of WWAP and is actively searching for acceptable sites.

III. Future Land Use Map & Goal, Objectives and Policies GOAL 1-8 WELLNESS WAY AREA PLAN The intent of the Wellness Way Area Plan, which is an Urban Service Area under Section 163.3164(50), Florida Statutes (2015) (hereinafter, "WWUSA"), is to create a long-term master plan for the South Lake region which promotes significant economic development while encouraging fiscally efficient and well- balanced development patterns that minimize environmental impacts and leverage existing resources. The following Objectives and Policies shall govern the WWUSA as depicted on the Future Land Use Map. In the event that these Goals, Objectives or Policies present either an express (direct) or implied (indirect) conflict with the Goals, Objectives and Policies that appear elsewhere in the comprehensive plan, the provision elsewhere in the comprehensive plan that is in direct or indirect conflict with a Wellness Way Goal, Objective or Policy shall not apply to the WWUSA area. All Goals, Objectives and Policies in the Lake County Comprehensive Plan that do not directly or indirectly conflict with this Goal and associated Objectives and Policies shall apply to the WWUSA area depicted on the Future Land Use Map. The primary intent of the Urban Service Area is to effectuate positive change for the following initiatives: • Job creation and economic development • Regional transportation connectivity • Creation of the wellness corridor/recreation/open space network • Promotion of recreation and healthy living • Water smart approaches • Preservation of scenic resources includingtopography • Health and wellness community development To achieve these initiatives in the Urban Service Area, these Goals, Objectives and Policies (GOPs) specifically address the unique conditions of Wellness Way. It is paramount for these GOPs to be flexible for the long-term horizon of development in Wellness Way. Further, to provide predictability within the Urban Service Area, there are 4eye six (6§) future land use categories (FLUC) as described below: A. Town Eeftef B. Wellness Way 1 G. Wellness Way 2 D. We"ness Way 3 E. Wellness Way 4 A. Multi Use L B. US 27 C. Neighborhood D. Wellness Way North E. Conservation Subdivision Page 3 of 40 f�981'kl M a IVA These six 4ye future land use categories are depicted on the Future Land Use Map. The Map will also identify the five proposed arterial roadways that make up the primary roadway network. Final Page 4 of 40 primary roadway alignments may be determined in the Planned Unit Development (PUD) process or through an independent alignment study. The WWUSA is based upon providing sufficient land area to achieve a target of 1.25W to 1 jobs -to - housing ratio. The plan will also require significant open space set asides within each PUD to ensure internal open space connectivity as well as connectivity to Lake Louisa State Park, Orange County and the City of Clermont. While locations of the Future Land Use Categories are provided by the Urban Service Area and the Future Land Use Map, the decisions on where specific land uses occur is defined by the Framework Map at the next required planning step; the PUD. OBJECTIVE 1-8.1 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Through the WWUSA, Lake County shall develop a comprehensive economic development and branding strategy that achieves a target jobs -to -housing ratio within the WWUSA by focusing on growth and retention of target industries and the complimentary land uses and infrastructure needed to support them. Policy 1-8.1.1 Jobs -to -Housing Ratio, Minimum Non -Residential Square Feet & Land Area Set -Asides Lake County shall seek to achieve a target jobs -to -housing ratio of 1.25S jobs per one (1) dwelling unit (1.25-5:1) within the WWUSA area. The target jobs -to -housing ratio will be achieved by ensuring a minimum volume of employment generating non-residential uses can be accommodated within the planning area. ^a�E�.—The County shall analyze each PUD submittal to ensure the PUD reserves an adequate amount of land for employment uses to achieve the desired volume of non-residential square footage that will_produce the targeted ratio for the overall Wellness Way planning area. PF9pesed-PUD& To ensure that an adequate volume of land is set aside to accommodate the required non-residential square footage, a FLUC specific minimum FAR (as shown in Policy 1-8.2.1.2) is applied to the non- residential square footage requirement. All PUDs are required to set aside enough acreage, as calculated above, to accommodate the required non-residential square footage at the minimum average FAR. Land use types that can be counted towards the non-residential square footage requirements include traditional, job -generating commercial, office and industrial uses (where appropriate), as well as other job -generating land uses, such as secondary education facilities, hotels, technical schools and hospitals/medical. Page 5 of 40 Policy 1-8.1.2 Target Industries Non-residential employment development within the WWUSA shall target, but are not limited to, a broad base of industry sectors. This will allow for a diverse and dynamic range of economic development and job growth opportunities. Target industries may include: A. Ag-Tech - B. Eco-tourism and Agri -tourism C. Education and Health Services D. Human Performance, Sports Medicine and Sports Training E. Leisure and Hospitality F. Manufacturing G. Medical and bio-medical H. Professional and Business Services I. Research Facilities J. Retail Trade K. Transportation, Trade and Utilities Policy 1-8.1.3 Technology Infrastructure Key to the success of the WWUSA will be the application of an advanced technology infrastructure network. PUDs within the WWUSA shall include an analysis of technology infrastructure to determine if the most current and innovative technologies are being utilized. PUDs shall identify technology infrastructure corridors and shall develop a strategy for ensuring the long term viability of the technology infrastructure network. Policy 1-8.1.4 Energy Conservation A primary component to the WWUSA will be the use of alternative energy sources to promote economic development. The use of sustainable energy generation will attract businesses and foster the proliferation of green technology. Alternative energy resources should be encouraged as a power source for residential and non-residential development alike. PUD's should demonstrate how alternative energy sources will be incorporated into the development when economically feasible. Policy 1-8.1.5 Economic Development Incentives Within 12 months of adoption of the WWUSA, Lake County shall develop a program intended to attract and retain target industries within the WWUSA area. This program may include financial incentives, expedited permitting and review processes, flexibility in development standards and marketing/branding initiatives. Page 6 of 40 OBJECTIVE 1-8.2 LAND USE, HIERARCHY OF PLACE AND WELLNESS CORRIDORS The intent of the Urban Service Area is to create a fiscally efficient development pattern through a diversity of land uses and locally appropriate urban form. The Urban Service Area shall promote land use densities, intensities and mixed uses that integrate and support alternative transportation modes, decrease trip lengths, and promote internal capture. The Framework Map shall guide the relationships of land use, transportation, Wellness Space and is intended to provide a hierarchy of place within each PUD. Policy 1-8.2.1 Future Land Use Categories The following f+ue six future land use categories, as depicted on the Future Land Use Map, shall be unique to the WWUSA and are intended to provide for a broad range of compatible -and -complimentary uses including employment, housing, recreation, agriculture and conservation uses. The general purpose of each category is described below. Specific allowable uses shall be provided for in the implementing development regulations, design guidelines and standards. as follows: I Jim 'IF, .- .......... rRym. W.. .1.

The Multi -Use FLUC is intended to be the primary concentration of employment and non- residential uses in Wellness Way. There are two distinct Multi -Use Districts. The Multi -Use W District is centered on the intersection of Wellness Way and US 27. The Multi -Use L District, supporting increased options for logistics and distribution, occurs at the planned County Road 455 and the Lake -Orange Connector expressway. B. The US 27 FLUC is intended to support moderate density residential, commercial, and employment uses that serve the daily needs of the residents and employees from nearby neighborhoods and workplaces. The District is not intended to create a conventional 'strip commercial' frontage along US 27. C. The Neighborhood FLUC is intended to support lower density neighborhood development outside the boundaries of Wellness Way's community and employment centers in the US 27 and Multi - Use Districts. This is the largest district and requires flexibility in design to accommodate neighborhood and housing types for many market segments. D. The Conservation Subdivision FLUC is intended to promote a balance between carefully designed residential development while supporting the ecological value of the 'mosaic' of wetlands and uplands that characterize the area. Recognition of wildlife corridors is central to the purpose of the District. E. The Wellness Way North FLUC is intended to implement the existing Wellness Way Area Plan allocation of low density residential with the required minimum of non-residential/employment square footage. F. The CONSERV FLUC is intended to recognize the public ownership nature of the land holding and as such, no private urban land uses are permitted. Public facilities, including schools, utilities and other support facilities for public uses are permitted. Public access as an open space amenity is highly encouraged.

Density and intensity calculations do not determine the total number of residential units and non-residential square footage allowed; those calculations are referred to as "capacity" and are provided in Policy 1-8.2.1.1. Densities and intensities are calculated utilizing "net buildable acres" (Gross acres minus wetland acres minus water body acres minus designated open space, see Policy 1-8.2.5. for open space guidelines) within the building footprint for that land use type (residential vs. non-residential). The total number of residential units within a PUD cannot exceed the maximum residential capacity calculation as indicated in Policy 1-8.2.1.11';.-The minimum and maximum net density and intensity for any development site within a PUD is set by the following table: heweveF, Fesidential units can be EORStFUEted at any density as long as the aveFage Future Land Use Cateeory Densitv/Intensity Tier Summary Table Minimum Maximum Minimum Maximum Gat@g@Fie&pensity Density/Net Density/Net Average FAR Average FAR /Intensity Tier Buildable Acre Buildable Acre Town Tier A 6.00 (d.u) 25.00 (d.u) 0.3825 2.00 Wellness `V'a-- 3.00 (d.u) 20.00 (d.u) 0.25 2.00 -Tier B Wellness Way- 2.50 (d.u) 15.00( d.u) 0.2-915 2.00 Tier C Wellness ` A-+ 2.00 (d.u) 10.00 (d.u) 0.15 2.00 -3Tier D Page 16 of 40 Density/Intensity Tiers MW Density/Intensity Twr A per] Density/Intensity Tier B [IN*] Density/Intensiry Ter C [%",] Density/Intensity Ter D [m] Neigbborhood District [m) US 27 District I=l Multi Use W District I=] Multi Use L District ( J Conservation Subdivision District ( J Wellness Way North Districts Iml CONSERV District Iel Waterbodies (—I Primary Roadway Network (---] Secondary Roadway Network (-1 Clay Road (Preserved) Page 17 of 40 Policy 1-8.2.1.3 Location and Timing of Non -Residential Construction Land areas set aside for the purposes of non-residential uses will be termed a -Centers jet Hub.

This begins at the Urban Service Area level, and is documented as in the Design Guidelines and Standards that implement this plan which must be incorporated in the development standards for each On the-PUD zoning and culminates at the detailed design level with the specifications for complete street design. Page 19 of 40 Policy 1-8.2.4 Wellness Corridors Wellness Corridor (WC) networks connect communities, Multi -use Districts, t4e Town Centers, 4ab Hubs, neighborhoods and destinations together in a series of integrated trail and pedestrian facilities. WC networks may contain the following elements: A. Community farms and gardens B. Wetlands C. Water bodies D. Preserved uplands E. Trails, pedestrian ways and bikeways F. Viewsheds and scenic resources G. Cultural and environmental resources H. Wellness COFF061OFS/Open spaee 4-.H. Parks/recreation facilities for active and passiveuse J:I_Stormwater management facilities Policy 1-8.2.5 Open Space The WWUSA will preserve a significant amount of land area in the form of open space and natural protected areas. The natural protected areas include wetlands and water bodies. Open space will be divided into two separate categories, Wellness Space and Green Space, with each type allowing different uses. Wellness Space includes land area that remains minimally developed, such as trails and boardwalks, as part of a natural resource preserve or active/passive recreation area. Wellness Space also includes land area open to public access and gathering places, such as parks, piazzas, plazas and urban squares. Wellness Space may include permeable storm water areas if enhanced as amenities using native vegetation. Open water bodies, completely surrounded by uninterrupted Wellness Space, may also be counted as Wellness Space. Wellness S^^e-^ " limited- 10 rf^^^ ratio Green Space includes land areas for the purpose of protecting natural resources or environmental quality, including areas designated for such purposes as flood control, protection of quality or quantity of groundwater or surface water, or protection of vegetative communities or wildlife habitat and shall include land preserved for conservation purposes. Green Space should be maintained in such a way to encourage the proliferation of native flora and fauna. Active recreation is prohibited in Green Space; passive recreation is allowed in Green Space. Page 20 of 40 PUD's in all WWUSA FLUCs will identify and reserve 20% of the net acres as Wellness Space and 10% of the net acres as Green Space. Wetlands and water bodies cannot be counted towards a PUD's Wellness Space or Green Space allocation, with the exception of water bodies that are completely surrounded by uninterrupted Wellness Space, in which case, up to 25% of the water body may be counted towards the Open Space requirement. A 50-foot wide continuous upland buffer is required around all wetlands and waterbodies counted towards Open Space. Open Space is meant to provide an amenity to the community and should be designed to promote public access. Open Space tracts are encouraged to be placed in the interior of a PUD. Narrow open space tracts, boarding the perimeter of a PUD, being used solely as a buffer, shall be discouraged. All open space calculations shall be determined during app4ed-a•tr-the PUD review process and shall be phased consistent with development. Policy 1-8.2.6 Conservation Lands The determination of areas most suitable for permanent preservation shall occur during the preparation of a Planned Unit Development (PUD). The permanent preservation of suitable areas through recordation of conservation easements, consistent with s. 704.06 FS, as amended, shall correspond with each development phase or stage. The censeFyatien easement shall be FeeeFded PFiGF to PwDappFeyal. Once an area is placed in permanent preservation, either through easement or acquisition, the Future Land Use Map designation of that area may be amended to Conservation. OBJECTIVE 1-8.3 MOBILITY Development within the WWUSA area shall be managed to reduce vehicle trips, minimize vehicle trip lengths, and reduce vehicle miles travelled through the encouragement of clustered mixed -use development and the internal capture of trips and through the development of an interconnected, transportation network. The proposed arterial roadways as generally depicted on -the- Future -Land Use Map make up the primary roadway network. Final primary roadway alignments and additional connections may be determined in the PUD process. Policy 1-8.3.1 Primary Roadway Network System -wide transportation capacity within the WWUSA area shall be achieved through the design and development of an interconnected, multi -modal roadway network with appropriately spaced and properly sized roadway, pedestrian, bicycle, transit and alternative vehicular components. Planned Unit Developments (PUD) within the WWUSA shall be generally consistent with the primary roadway network identified on the Framework Map and as listed below. Any deviations from the number and location of primary roadways identified on the Framework Map shall not deteriorate the high level of interconnectivity within the Urban Service Area's network. Deviations to a significant extent aye possible Page 21 of 40 possible to protect environmentally sensitive lands so long as the continuity of the network and each of the multimodal features for that facility are maintained. Primary Roadway Network a. Wellness Way from US 27 to the Orange County Line b. Hancock Road from Wellness Way to Hartwood Marsh Road c. Schofield Road from the intersection of Wellness Way and Hancock Road to the Orange County Line d. CR 455 Extension from Hartwood Marsh Road to Sawgrass Bay Boulevard Each PUD shall be required to assess its proportionate share of roadway impacts to the Primary Roadway Network, as well as impacts to US 27 and Hartwood Marsh Road. The findings of this assessment shall be used as the basis for mitigating transportation impacts in a Roadway/Transportation Impact Fee Credit Agreement with Lake County. Policy 1-8.3.2 Roadway Network Thoroughfares within the WWUSA shall be designed to accommodate pedestrians, bicycles, transit, freight, and motor vehicles within a circulation network with the allocation of right-of-way provided -for in the PUD approval process. To assist with the design of future roadways and ensure that these facilities consider all modes of transportation, typical complete street cross -sections shall be established in the implementinp, Design Guidelines and Standards, and shall be used to guide the design of proposed facilities during the PUD process. Policy 1-8.3.3 Pedestrian Facilities Through a complementary relationship between transportation, land use and urban design, development within the WWUSA shall support walking as an important part of daily travel. Design and construction of transportation facilities and land uses within the Urban Service Area shall give highest priority to walking as a basic and efficient mode of transportation and may include the following: a. Appropriately sized and obstruction -free sidewalks connecting residential neighborhoods to employment districts, retail areas, parks and schools; b. Well designed and highly -visible crosswalks which ensure pedestrian safety in areas where conflicts with vehicular traffic may occur; c. The use of streetscapes that offer a safe and inviting environment for pedestrians especially by providing shade, amenities and buffering from vehicular traffic; and/or, d. Pedestrian oriented design of buildings adjacent to sidewalks including, minimal front setbacks, entrances that provide direct access from the public sidewalk, maximum first floor opacity standards, and the placement of vehicular use areas to the back or side of buildings. e. Provision of Wellness Corridors with multi -use paths and trails. Policy 1-8.3.4 Bicycle Facilities PUDs within the WWUSA shall include a safe and continuous bicycle network that encourages cycling Page 22 of 40 as both a means of transportation and a recreational activity. Bicycle networks shall connect residential neighborhoods with the -.Multi -Use Districts, CentersT^wn GeR+^F, job Hubs, neighborhoods, affdparks and schools. These facilities may include: a. Shared lane markings; Designated bike lanes; Separated bike facilities or "cycle tracks"; and/or, d. Multi -use paths and trails. Policy 1-8.3.5 The 'Wellness Ridgeway' The Wellness Ridgeway Network is intended to be a system of trails providing non -motorized transportation within and through Wellness Way. The Network is organized to provide both recreational and functional use to origins and destinations such as parks and schools within Residential areas and employment and commercial areas in Centers. The Network is made up of four types of trails: a. Trunk Trail b. Neighborhood Trail c. Clay Road d. CONSERV Trail The implementing Design Guidelines and Standards shall establish design criteria for each type of trail. The Wellness Ridgeway is a component part of the overall Wellness Corridor Network. Page 23 of 40 Policy 1-8.3.69 Transit Centers job Hubs located on arterial and collector roads offer the future opportunity for the Regional Transit Authority to consider providing transit service to and between Multi -use Districts, Centers job Hubs and other regional destinations. Policy 1-8.3.76 External Trip Reduction PUDs within the WWUSA shall introduce measures that s#a produce a reduction in net external trips. A variety of options and innovative techniques to meet this goal shall be included in the PUD including Wellness Corridors, complete streets, a pedestrian oriented design emphasis and the possible inclusion of future transit bus service. Policy 1-8.3.8.7 Level of Service The minimum roadway level of service standard within the WWUSA shall be "D€," except for US 27 which shall remain at LOS "CD." Policy 1-8.3.99 Multimodal Street Design Standards Lake County shall establish design standards to ensure streets are safe, convenient and appealing for all modes of travel, including automobiles, trucks, bicycles and pedestrians and possible future bus service. Strategies shall include marked crosswalks, wider sidewalks, on -street parking, traffic calming, raised medians, adequate drainage or other appropriate safety enhancements that reduce hazardous conflicts between modes and that are consistent with the planned functions of the roadway. Policy 1-8.3.109 Connectivity To promote communities that are physically connected to each other and to foster community and connectedness beyond the development, all PUDs shall include sub -arterial streets stubbed to the boundary of the development in all cardinal directions unless physically constrained by natural or other features. Development plans within a PUD shall include streets connecting to all streets stubbed to the boundary of adjacent development plans. Street connections shall be made between adjacent development regardless of the parent development and adjacent land uses in order to continue the interconnected street network. Lake County shall coordinate the interconnection of the roadway network with Orange County roadways to the east. Wellness Way, Schofield Road, and Sawgrass Bay Blvd (to Flemings Road) are critical east - west connections that would benefit both Counties. Policy 1-8.3.110 Land Use The WWUSA land use densities, intensities and mixture of land uses integrate and support alternative transportation modes, enhance multi -modal transportation, decrease trip lengths, and promote internal capture. Page 24 of 40 OBJECTIVE 1-8.4 NATURAL AND SCENIC RESOURCES The WWUSA area is home to many natural resources; the area consists of xeric uplands, wetlands and surface waters, most notably Trout Lake, Adain Lake, Sawgrass Lake, and the Urban Service Area borders Johns Lake to the north. The Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) shall provide for the conservation of significant natural, scenic and cultural resources through the creation of an interconnected open space known as the WC network within the WWUSA area. These resources and corridors shall be specifically demonstrated in the PUDs. Lake County shall protect its natural resources in the WWUSA area through adoption of PUDs that promote the preservation or conservation of environmentally sensitive lands to include habitats containing listed animal and plant species. Natural resource protection shall be achieved through mechanisms such as buffer requirements, lower allowable densities in environmentally sensitive areas, open space preservation requirements, removal of exotic plan and animal species, maintenance of corridors, preservation of native vegetation, control of hydrological characteristics, and through use of clustering to help minimize the effect of development. The permanent preservation of suitable areas through recordation of conservation easements, consistent with s. 704.06 FS, as amended, shall correspond with each development phase or stage. The censeFvatien easement shall be . eFded PFOOF Policy III-3.2.5, Native Vegetation, Habitat, and Wildlife within Development Projects shall also be adhered to, and utilized when processing a PUD. Policy 1-8.4.1 Identification of Environmentally Sensitive Areas The Wellness Way Future Land Use Map generally identifies areas of potential environmentally sensitive lands within the Urban Service Area. The Conservation Land Map shall guide the preparation of subsequent PUDs and their respective detailed identification of lands for permanent protection or preservation. Policy 1-8.4.2 Identification and Preservation of Wetlands and Water Bodies Wetlands and water bodies shall be delineated during the PUD process. The types, values, functions, sizes, conditions and locations of wetlands within the planning area, shall be determined through on site studies and field verification as the primary data source conducted by qualified professionals in accordance with state and federal regulations, guidelines and procedures. The existing wetland systems have several important functions, including flow of water (lakes are connected by waterways and streams), and habitat for plants and wildlife. Wetland impacts shall be carefully planned so as to avoid inordinate impacts to the wetlands system. A mandatory minimum setback of 50 feet from all jurisdictional wetland lines shall be established in the PUDs, and a minimum 50 foot wide buffer shall apply to all retained isolated and wetlandTnon-isolated wetlands, and rivers and streams, except where the required buffer makes a lot unbuildable, in which case a variable buffer consisting of a minimum width of 15 feet and average width of 50 feet shall be provided.

The purpose of the baseline data is to recognize the cumulative effects thatdevelopment within the WWUSA is having on species diversity and habitat over a period of time. Policy 1-8.4.6 Identification and Preservation of Xeric Uplands During the preparation of PUDs, upland areas containing xeric or scrub habitats should be analyzed closely for permanent preservation. Large habitat patches in close proximity to each other provide for the greatest species diversity and minimizes extinction probabilities; small patches that are isolated are less likely to preserve species. Habitat fragmentation shall be discouraged. If preserved, these areas may serve as relocation sites for gopher tortoises, sand skinks, and other xeric-adapted species that may be present within the Urban Service Area and surrounding areas. Policy 1-8.4.7 Creation of the Natural Components of the Wellness Corridor Network At build -out, the WWUSA area shall contain a large, interconnected WC network comprised of water bodies, wetlands, open space, important upland habitats and publicly owned lands. This system shall serve to protect environmentally sensitive lands, allow for the continued and safe movement of wildlife and provide for significant passive recreation areas for the residents, employees and visitors. Native Vegetation within Corridors Non-native landscape species shall be prohibited within these corridors, with the exception of turf grass used as road or yard stabilizer. Vegetation identified on the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council's List of Invasive Plant Species shall be prohibited. Movement of Wildlife Crossings Collaboration with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Florida Department of Transportation shall be required to establish standards and locations for the movement of wildlife on public roads and other corridors, as well as ensuring the crossings or corridors are of the appropriate size. Each PUD shall be reviewed for consistency with this policy during the approval process. Policy 1-8.4.8 Site Development Standards Collaboration with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission shall be required to prepare a site development plan based on standards that promote preservation of wildlife during development and promote the provision of usable habitat post -development. Site development standards shall include, but are not limited to, monitoring, low -voltage lighting, berms, and fencing. Post -development measures may include, but are not limited to, planting of native vegetation, low -voltage lighting, berms, and fencing. The County shall also require that vegetative communities and wildlife habitats be Page 31 of 40 The PUDs shall include provisions to require that development preserve wetlands and portions of developable uplands containing designated species or rare upland habitats. The permanent preservation of suitable areas through recordation of conservation easements, consistent with s. 704.06 FS, as amended, shall correspond with each development phase or stage. The EGASeFyatien easement shall be The PUD shall ensure the protection of trees and native vegetation with a target of protecting 50% of trees onsite. As appropriate, a tree replacement ratio may be implemented based on type and caliper. Special consideration shall be given to rare upland habitats and designated species within ecologically significant areas identified herein. The extent to which preservation of vegetative communities and wildlife habitats shall be protected and incorporated into protected open space on a development site, shall be determined during the PUD process. Policy 1-8.4.9 Water Conservation Based Landscaping A significant amount of water resources are used for irrigation of landscaped spaces in traditional developments. In recognition of the limited water resources available in South Lake County, developers in the Wellness Way Urban Service Area shall base their landscaping plans on water conservation principles and practices. The County may develop a landscape design handbook which provides examples of water conserving landscape designs for commercial, residential and institutional developments as well as planted right of way areas. The handbook designs will feature the use of Florida native, drought tolerant species that require no irrigation once they have been established. The handbook will contain several design examples, listing acceptable plants and providing plan view layouts and pictorial representations of each design concept. Developers within the Wellness Way Urban Service Area shall utilize the handbook designs or shall propose a landscape design that conforms with water conservation principles for review during the permitting process. Exceptions may be granted for designs that receive irrigation solely from retained stormwater. Policy 1-8.4.10 Regulation f4gor Reclaimed Water Shall Be Enforced To Prevent Adverse Environmental Impacts. The intent of the WWUSA is to require 100% of landscape irrigation be provided by re -use water. Another type of non -potable water supply may be used for landscape irrigation if re -use water is not available to the PUD. In no instance shall potable water be used for landscape irrigation unless authorized by the St. Johns River Water Management District pursuant to part II of Chapter 373, F.S. Conservation programs, system interconnections and alternative water supply options such as reclaimed water reuse and storage, shall occur when accessible. All development containing irrigated open space shall be required to accept reclaimed water for irrigation when such reclaimed water is available adjacent to the development's boundary. Connection shall be made at the developer's cost. Page 32 of 40 OBJECTIVE 1-8.5 PUBLIC FACILITIES The County shall require that all development be consistent with the Capital Improvements Element and the approved facility and service plans in order to discourage urban sprawl, meet adopted level of service standards, and thereby minimize associated public costs. Policy 1-8.5.1 Identification of Water Supplies All new development shall connect to non -potable sources of water, such as reclaimed water, for landscape irrigation, when available. The availability of, and requirement to connect to, Alternative Water Supplies, including reclaimed water, will be determined during the PUD approval process unless the use of water from other water sources is authorized by the St. Johns River Water Management District pursuant to part II of Chapter 373, F.S. To ensure that the WWUSA's water suppliers (i.e., City of Clermont, Lake Utility Services, and Southlake Utilities) account for and meet the water needs of the WWUSA, the County will monitor, and participate as necessary, in those water suppliers' water supply planning related processes, such as water supply facility work plans, consumptive use permits, and the South Lake Regional Water Initiative. Policy 1-8.5.2 Potable and Re -use Water Facilities PUDs within the WWUSA shall include an analysis of potable and re -use water facilities, including sources, treatment plants and delivery infrastructure, required to accommodate projected impacts and maintain the County's or utility provider's adopted level of service (LOS) for such facilities. If it is determined that sites and/or right-of-way is needed to accommodate the projected impacts, then those sites shall be conveyed prior to the issuance of building permits for development within the PUD. Policy 1-8.5.3 Sanitary Sewer Facilities PUDs within the WWUSA shall include an analysis of sanitary sewer facilities, including treatment plants and delivery infrastructure, required to accommodate projected impacts and maintain the County's or utility provider's adopted level of service (LOS) for such facilities. If it is determined that sites and/or right-of-way is needed to accommodate the projected impacts, then those sites shall be conveyed prior to the issuance of building permits for development within the PUD. Policy 1-8.5.4 Solid Waste Facilities PUDs within the WWUSA shall include an analysis of solid waste impacts and, when necessary, mitigation plans that ensure adequate capacity exists to accommodate proposed demand. Page 33 of 40 Policy 1-8.5.5 Parks and Trails Facilities PUDs within the WWUSA shall include an analysis of parks and trails required to accommodate projected impacts and maintain the County's adopted level of service (LOS) for such facilities. If it is determined that one or more publicly dedicated park sites within the proposed PUD are needed to accommodate projected impacts, then conditions shall be provided within the PUD approval to ensure that those sites are she conveyed- with the development of the phase of the project.pFieF to the i5sUaRr;e of building The Framework Map and Design Guidelines and Standards shall be used as a guide to provide parks and trails facilities within the WWUSA area. Trails within a proposed PUD that serve as a component of the WWUSA's multi -modal mobility system shall be identified as part of the PUD process. Conditions for the conveyance tThe right-of-way required for such trails shall be established in the PUD approval. peFmits fGF development within the PUD-. Policy 1-8.5.6 Provision of Educational Facilities All PUDs within the WWUSA shall include an analysis of impacts to public schools and, when necessary, mitigation consistent with the policies and procedures identified in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, Objective VI-1.8 as amended. If it is determined that one or more school sites within the proposed PUD are needed to accommodate projected impacts, then those sites shall be consistent with the PSFE's School Facility Siting objective and policies. PUDs shall analyze the impacts of the future residential land uses on public schools and identify the facilities needed; include an amendment of the County's Capital Improvements Element/Schedule and the Lake County School Board's five-year district facilities work plan to adopt the capacity projects which mitigate the impacts on public school facilities, if required. In addition to the PSFE's school facility siting objective and policies, the public school siting provisions of Sections 333.03 and 1013.36, F.S., and the First Amended Interlocal Agreement between Lake County and Lake County School Board and Municipalities for School Facilities Planning and Siting (the ILA) be followed when identifying and dedicating public school sites Future school sites shall be suitable for development as a public school and have the ability to be served with the necessary infrastructure, such as the following: potable and non -potable water, sanitary sewer, electrical power, high-speed internet service and transportation facilities. When it is not possible to avoid soil conditions on a public school site that would require remediation in order to permit vertical construction, such remediation will be included in the applicant's capital improvements plan for mitigation of the impacts on public schools. Page 34 of 40 Policy 1-8.5.7 Provision of Law Enforcement, Fire Protection and Emergency Services All PUDs within the WWUSA shall include an analysis of law enforcement, fire protection and emergency services impacts and shall include coordination with the agencies providing these services to determine if facility sites are required within the PUD to ensure the provision of adequate public facilities and services. If it is determined that land is needed to accommodate the siting of facilities required to address the impacts of the proposed PUD, these lands shall be conveyed prior to the issuance of building permits for development within the PUD. Given the current location of existing Fire/EMS facilities of the City to the north and Lake County to the South, Lake County should consider coordinating a joint City -County Fire/EMS facility in the center of Wellness Way to provide the highest level of response times at the least cost to the community. Policy 1-8.5.8 Conveyed Land Value In order to ensure that new development adequately pays for growth -related impacts, the Board of County Commissioners shall have the authority to determine the valuation or date of valuation of property for the purpose of impact fee credits for property deemed as a required adequate public facility beyond the needs of WWUSA. The value will be agreed upon by both the County and the land owner or established by appraisals by registered appraisers acceptable to both the County and land owner. The terms of this valuation shall be incorporated into a developer's agreement for a specific development. Policy 1-8.5.9 Coordinated Development While there is separate property ownership within WWUSA, planning for development will occur in a coordinated and comprehensive way. The initial extension of potable and non -potable water and sewer service must be sized for the PUD with a Utilities Agreement and built infrastructure and conveyed lands are eligible for reimbursement for excess capacity and land area beyond the need of the proposed development. The Future Land Use Map will establish a general guide for connectivity. Primary Roadway alignments will be set with the PUD process and/or a Roadway Agreement between participating property owners and built infrastructure and conveyed lands are eligible for reimbursement for excess capacity and land area beyond the need of the proposed development. Roadway terminus to terminus alignments are S49ftly ffefeKed, but not required. Policy 1-8.5.10 Concurrency Requirements The County shall ensure that public services and facilities are available concurrent with new development. All development orders, permits, and agreements shall be subject to the adopted Concurrency Management System consistent with the Concurrency Management Element of this Comprehensive Plan. Page 35 of 40 OBJECTIVE 1-8.6 INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION Ensure continued coordination of development plans, infrastructure planning and development, approvals and impacts with affected local governments and public agencies throughout the duration of the WWUSA. Policy 1-8.6.1 Coordinated Review of Planned Unit Developments To provide for intergovernmental coordination, Lake County shall provide adjacent municipalities, counties, and regional agencies a copy of applications for a Planned Unit Development (PUD). To ensure communication and coordination are used to minimize any potential adverse impacts, these government agencies shall have thirty (30) days to review and provide comments to the County regarding the proposed PUD, unless the County is notified in writing by an agency representative that the agency does not wish to receive notice of or have an opportunity to comment on the proposed PUD. The agencies to be notified are as follows: City of Clermont City of Orlando City of Winter Garden East Central Florida Regional Planning Council Florida's Turnpike Authority Lake County School Board Lake Sumter State College Lake Utility Services • Lake -Sumter MPO Orange County Orlando -Orange County Expressway Authority Osceola County Polk County Reedy Creek Improvement District • South Lake Utilities St. Johns River Water Management District Valencia College Page 36 of 40 OBJECTIVE 1-8.7 URBAN SERVICE AREA IMPLEMENTATION Develop a straightforward, predictable and efficient process for the preparation, review and approval of Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) and subsequent development approvals within the WWUSA area. Policy 1-8.7.1 Master Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) Development within the WWUSA area shall be contingent upon the adoption of Planned Unit Developments (PUDs). Each PUD shall be developed in sufficient detail to allow evaluation of the interrelationship of its parts and establish consistency with principles and criteria contained within the Lake County Comprehensive Plan and the Wellness Way Goals, Objectives and Policies. A PUD of less than 1,000 gross acres may be approved by Lake County, based on consideration of the following criteria: • Proximity to existing public infrastructure with adequate capacity to serve development; • Compatibility with surrounding existing and future land uses; and, • Consistency with the financial capability of local government and/or private entities to fund needed infrastructure concurrent with development. A M as t e r PUD shall be processed as a PUD application as provided for in the Land Development Code. Principles, guidelines, and standards for each PUD shall be codified in the Lake County Land Development Regulations. The PUD may only be approved after funding agreements for infrastructure have been agreed upon by the participating parties. Each PUD shall be evaluated to determine that adequate facilities and services are or will be available. Where facilities or services are determined to be deficient, the developer(s) shall have the option of entering into a funding agreement with Lake County and/or Lake County School Board to correct any deficiency and allow development to proceed. All development in the PUD will be served by central sewer and water service. On -site utilities may be used only where soil and water table conditions will permit their use, and where the developer will install the necessary water and sewer lines (dry lines) to ultimately connect the development to the central utility system; and the area is included in a capital improvement program. Until and unless a PUD is approved by the Lake County Board of County Commissioners, the property in the WWUSA area shall maintain the existing zoning (e.g. A, R-1, CFD, PUD). All applications for development approvals (i.e. lot splits, conditional use permits, variances, etc.) on any property within the WWUSA area shall be reviewed on a case -by -case basis for the effect of such development approval on adopted or potential PUDs and compliance with the general principles of the Urban Service Area. Page 37 of 40 Policy 1-8.7.2 Urban Service Area Framework and Hierarchy of Place Scale is important as context towards details. The bigger the scale, the more aspirational the initiatives and less detailed the plan. As the scale gets smaller, the initiatives evolve into implementation actions and increased design detail. The second scale of planning in Wellness Way is a Planned Unit Development (PUD) with apff9Mimately 1,900 acres. The PUD begins the refined urban design process to allow Wellness Way to successfully meet the Urban Service Area initiatives. The Urban Service Area Goals, Objectives and Policies in the comprehensive plan guide the planning of the PUD to include the following principles: • PUDs can be any size aFe geneFally 1,000 affes eF FA8Fe with access to the regional roadway network. • PUDs must determine the location and size of the Centers JobHub(s) based upon the regional roadway network and the FLUC jobs -to -housing ratio and then locate the Wellness/Green Corridors and residential neighborhoods. • Residential neighborhoods cluster aroundbeyeed-the Centers 3eb+ s). Each neighborhood is adjacent to an interconnected wellness Corridor/open space system. This helps define neighborhoods and provides the opportunity for trail use for the residents to reach other neighborhoods, Centers, s), other PUDs, the Town ''e����, and the State Park. • Along with the Centers 3eb-Heb(s)neighborhoods and WC networks, there is a required community park. Not only are the school and park a requirement, it is at the PUD level when agreements must be reached to pay for educational facilities roads, utilities and the park. Without such agreements, development may not proceed.

The PUD approval process has three tasks as follows: • PUD Boundary Analysis • Preliminary PUD development and community input • Final PUD application and public hearings as a PUD The Design Guidelines and Standards to be adopted to implement the WWAP shall include detailed requirements for each step in the PUD approval process.

It shall include an evaluation and analysis of the impacts to the approved or planned land uses and the ability of the proposed amendment to meet the principles and standards set forth in the WWUSA. Page 45 of 40 Policy 1-8.7.5 Development Approvals within a PUD Once a M as t e r PUD as a PUD application is adopted by the Board of County Commissioners, all applications for development approval (i.e., subdivision plans, site plans, lot splits, and special exceptions) shall be evaluated for compatibility and compliance with the adopted PUD. Policy 1-8.7.6 Urban Service Area Build -out Date The planning horizon for the WWUSA is projected to be 2040. Policy 1-8.7.7 Developments of Regional Impact Nothing in the WWUSA shall limit or modify the rights of any person to complete any development that has been authorized as a development of regional impact pursuant to Chapter 380, Florida Statutes, or who has been issued a final local development order and development has commenced and is continuing in good faith. Policy 1-8.7.8 Existing Approved Development Avalon Groves PUD (Ordinance# 2012-10 / ORB 4141 PGS 961-980) may develop and continue until adoption of a PUD, which includes a portion of the Avalon Groves PUD's legal description. The PUD shall address the phasing out of any Avalon Groves PUD use or other entitlement that is not approved and or recognized by the WWUSA policies. Avalon Groves PUD shall be allowed to redistribute approved density and open space within the existing boundary of the PUD and such redistribution shall not require an amendment to the Comprehensive Growth Management Plan or be deemed to be a substantial amendment to the existing PUD; however, the approved minimum/maximum limitations of the PUD shall not be altered. Substantial changes to an approved PUD will require the abandonment of the PUD. Proposed development within an abandoned PUD will be subject to the WWUSA Future Land Use categories and goal, objectives and policies. If this policy is rendered unenforceable or interpreted by a court or administrative body in any way that causes an impairment or other adverse change to the Avalon Groves PUD, then: (i) the owner of any lands within such PUD shall be deemed to withdraw from the WWUSA unless such owner affirmatively elects to remain part of the WWUSA (to the extent required this provision shall constitute Lake County's authorization for the owner of any lands within such PUD to voluntarily withdraw from the WWUSA); and (ii) upon such withdrawal, the PUD shall remain in full force and effect and all deadlines in such PUD shall be automatically extended forthe number of months from July 21, 2015 until the date of such withdrawal or until litigation is resolved. Policy 1-8.7.9 Existing Conforming Commercial and Industrial Operations Existing, conforming commercial and industrial operations in the WWUSA shall be allowed to continue their operations until a PUD is adopted. The PUD will address allowable uses and location criteria of all commercial and industrial uses. Page 46 of 40 Policy 1-8.7.10 Annexation by the City of Clermont It is anticipated that a large portion of the WWUSA area may be annexed into the City of Clermont. The County shall seek to incorporate procedures for such annexations into Interlocal Service Boundary Agreements to provide consistency and predictability to landowners seeking to develop property within the planning area. Policy 1-8.7.11 Consery II Consery II is designated as the CONSERV Future Land Use Category`Ve4R 5s `Vay ^ and is comprised of properties owned and used by Orange County and the City of Orlando for a water reclamation project. Portions of this property may be deemed unnecessary for either existing or future needs of the project. Therefore, the County and City (as applicable) (or assignees or successors) may request that such properties be included in PUD's in the Urban Service Area. The land uses within PUD's may be blended for residential, nonresidential or open space uses throughout PUD regardless of designation. OBJECTIVE 1-8.8 FINANCING Develop financing mechanisms that support the WWUSA's economic development goals while ensuring the equitable distribution of infrastructure costs. Policy 1-8.8.1 Potential Funding Mechanisms for Regional Infrastructure Each PUD shall identify the revenue sources implementable by county ordinance (or by resolution of a dependent district created by county ordinance) as the public shares of a funding partnership to provide essential regional infrastructure including transportation, public safety and park improvements required to implement the economic development uses incorporated in the PUD. Potential revenue sources may include, but are not limited to, special assessments collected as non -ad valorem assessments on the ad valorem tax statement pursuant to section 197.3632, Florida Statutes; impact or mobility fees that are PUD specific; allocation of a portion of the transportation needs component in a regional or countywide impact or mobility fee; dedication of tax increment funds within identified tax increment areas; and utility capacity assessment fees and advanced funding agreements with the appropriate utility providers. A density bonus of two (2) dwelling units per acre may be granted to a PUD for right-of-way donated for arterial or collector roads. Policy 1-8.8.2 Funding Mechanisms for Site Specific Infrastructure Within each PUD, the transportation related infrastructure and other infrastructure necessary to accommodate the economic goals of specific sites or individual development shall be incorporated as a cost requirement of site development either directly or provided as a funding component of any dependent or independent district created to provide regional infrastructure. Page 47 of 40 Policy 1-8.8.3 Phasing of Regional Infrastructure To the maximum extent possible, regional infrastructure shall be phased as necessary to support economic development of specific sites or individual developments within each PUD and as required to meet economic expectations of the property bearing the burden of the infrastructure costs. Such site development infrastructure shall be, to the maximum extent possible, integrated with adjacent infrastructure and incorporated into the capital improvement plan of the County, the adjacent municipalities, the Florida Department of Transportation work plan or the appropriate utility provider.
