3 D. Planning Council fee for processing the amendment in accordance with Exhibit C, "Fee Schedule for Amendments to the Broward County Land Use Plan and Local Land Use Elements." City of Tamarac Processing Fee: $5,000 Broward County Planning Council Processing Fee: $11,611 E. Applicant's rationale for the amendment. The Planning Council requests a condensed version for inclusion in the staff report (about two paragraphs). The proposed amendment reflects the reality that golf course operation has become economically non-viable in South Florida, where golf courses have become too numerous and golf play has declined not only regionally but nationally. Within the Woodmont Country Club community, the northern golf course known as The Pines has been closed down for approximately one year and is in a state of disrepair. In order to avoid the recent trend of golf course closures and maintain the successful operation of the Woodmont Country Club, the applicant proposes to redevelop the The Pines golf courses from 18 holes to 9 holes and develop six (6) residential sites, plus one (1) commercial parcel on a total of acres (gross). The proposal would allow for the development of selective portions of the existing golf course which will create new housing stock within the City of Tamarac, allow for the redevelopment and use of 9 golf holes of the Pines Golf Course, preserve the views and open space relationships of the existing housing stock and create new tax basis for the City of Tamarac (see Exhibit 12-Economic Impact Analysis). This proposal will benefit the entire Woodmont community as well as the City of Tamarac. The contract purchaser, Zaveco Development, LLC has held several neighborhood meetings and charettes with members of the Woodmont Community. These meetings focused on gathering input from local residents regarding the proposed development plan. The conceptual master plan has been developed to address the concerns of these residents. It should be noted that none of the proposed residential lots are adjacent to single family developments within the community and the proposed commercial pod (Southgate Boulevard & Pine Island Road) will be buffered from nearby residential pods by 25 foot wide landscape buffer, a 6 foot high concrete wall and a canal. In addition to this application for a land use plan amendment, the Applicant is proposing concurrent rezoning. Sites The Applicant is requesting a conversion of acres of to Low (0-5). This conversion will generate a total of 152 single family dwelling units. Sites The amendment also includes a request to convert 4.58 acres of to for one (1) retail site. The proposed residential and commercial uses are compatible in character and scale to surrounding uses and the site design will include appropriate setbacks and buffering between proposed and existing uses. In addition, the amendment sites are situated near mass transit routes and conveniently located near transportation facilities. Resubmitted February 2013 Page 3 of 30

4 Public Outreach & Interaction with Community Residents In 2011, Contract Purchaser, Zaveco Development, LLC, began planning for the proposed development with a preliminary meeting with the city of Tamarac staff to determine their goals regarding the proposed development. That was followed by a meeting with representative leadership of the Woodmont Property Owners Association and several Woodmont homeowners associations to determine resident concerns with the previous proposals for redevelopment as well as what the residents believed would be a proper redevelopment plan. These meetings led to the development of a feasibility study which then generated a series of design charrettes geared to creating an optimal redevelopment plan that would generate a market-driven solution for the Woodmont Country Club property while integrating the land interests of the city of Tamarac and the existing Woodmont residents. The resulting concept site plans along with concept home plans and rendered typical views were presented to the Woodmont residents in a series of open public meetings held at the Woodmont Country Club over the next five months, specifically on January 21, 2012, February 23, 2012, April 19, 2012 and July 25, Invitations to these meetings were sent to the Woodmont residents through the officers of their homeowner associations as listed in the records of the State of Florida. Additionally, addresses were collected from attendees at each meeting and those residents were sent personal invitations for subsequent meetings. Based on input received from the residents, substantive revisions were made to the overall and individual village site plans and these revisions were presented at subsequent meetings. Additionally, ongoing communication through phone calls and was maintained with residents and will be continued throughout the submittal and development processes. Population Projections The need for additional resident units is referenced in the Housing Element of the Tamarac Comprehensive Plan. Population projections (by Broward County) estimate a population increase of 6,876 residents by Tamarac s current housing inventory is estimated at 29,732 units. The Comprehensive Plan acknowledges two sources for housing projections, Broward County and the Shimberg Center. Both studies recognize a need for additional housing units by Broward County estimates a need of 30,307 units, while the Shimberg Center estimates a need for 34,305 units. With consideration to these two housing studies, the approval of this amendment will allow the City to meet its future housing needs while maintaining the operation of the Woodmont Country Club. The Applicant will mitigate the impacts of the amendment on public services and facilities through the payment of applicable impact fees and dedication of land and/or payment in lieu of land dedication for recreational and open space purposes. The Applicant also understands that the Developer Agreement must include a provision that the existing clubhouse shall remain in a usable and active condition until the new clubhouse facility is built. 4.

8 F. Maximum allowable development per local government land use plans under existing designation for the site, including square footage for each non-residential use and/or dwelling unit count. According to the City of Tamarac and Broward County Land Use Plans, the amendment sites have a future land use designation of (CR) and a current City of Tamarac zoning designation of S-1, al District. Section of the City's Code of Ordinances identifies the following permitted uses in the S-1 zoning district: public or private country club, golf course, shuffle board court, swimming pool, tennis courts, neighborhood or community club operated by nonprofit or public corporation, and public parks and open space. Per discussions with Broward County Planning Council and City staff, the land use and S-1 zoning district do not specify development potential other than permitted uses. Therefore, it's assumed that the (gross) amendment sites have no residential development potential and an undetermined recreational development potential under the current land use and zoning categories. G. Indicate if the amendment is part of a larger development project that is intended to be developed as a unit such as a site plan, plat or Development of Regional Impact. If so, indicate the name of the development; provide the site plan or plat number; provide a location map; and, identify the proposed uses. The proposed Land Use Plan Amendment is part of the larger Woodmont County Club; however, the only portion that is proposed to be developed has been submitted as part of this Application. At this time, the owner does not intend to develop any portion of the Woodmont Country Club other than what has been submitted. 6. Analysis of Public Facilities and Services The items below must be addressed to determine the impact of an amendment on existing and planned public facilities and services. Provide calculations for each public facility and/or service. If more than one amendment is submitted, calculations must be prepared on an individual and cumulative basis. A.

Data and analysis demonstrating that a sufficient supply of potable water and related infrastructure will be available to serve the proposed amendment site through the long-term planning horizon, including the nature, timing and size of the proposed water supply and related infrastructure improvements. The adopted City of Tamarac level of service (LOS) standard for potable water is 144 gallons per capita per day. 2. Identify the facilities serving the service area in which the amendment is located including the current plant capacity, current and committed demand on the plant and South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) permitted withdrawal, including the expiration date of the SFWMD permit. Resubmitted February 2013 Page 9 of 30

10 The water treatment plant serving the amendment sites is the Tamarac Water Treatment facility, located on NW 61 st Street in the City of Tamarac. The current plant design capacity is 20 MGD. The current demand, on average, is 7.1 MGD, with a committed demand of 8.0 MGD. The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) permitted withdrawal is 2,754 million gallons per year, or 7.5 MGD. The SFWMD water use renewal permit# W was issued on February 12, 2004 and will expire on February 12, The permit allows for an allocation of 7.5 MGD from the Biscayne aquifer. 3. Identify the wellfield serving the service area in which the amendment is located including the permitted capacity, committed capacity, remaining capacity and expiration date of the permit. According to the Tamarac Comprehensive Plan, the wellfield serving the City of Tamarac contains 19 wells, for a capacity of 21.3 MGD. The average daily demand from the Well field is 7.1 MGD, with a permitted capacity of 7.5 MGD. The remaining capacity is 0.47 MGD. The SFWMD water use renewal permit# W was issued on February 12, 2004 and will expire on February 12, The permit allows for an allocation of 7.5 MGD from the Biscayne aquifer. 4. Identify the net impact on potable water demand, based on adopted level of service resulting from the proposed amendment. Provide calculations, including anticipated demand per square foot* or dwelling unit. Since there is no existing water demand from the sites, the proposed water demand is 48,600 GPD (139ERCs).

11 6. Correspondence from potable water provider verifying the information submitted as part of the application on items 1-5 above. Correspondence must contain name, position and contact information of party providing verification. Verification of capacity has been provided as Exhibit 7. C. Drainage Analysis 1. Provide the adopted level of service standard for the service area in which the amendment is located. The City of Tamarac Comprehensive Plan (Article III, Cross Reference Chapter & Code of Ordinances) states that the LOS standard must meet the FEMA criteria for minimum finished floor elevation and protection of flood plains. In addition, the Broward County Environmental Protection Department, the South Florida Water Management District, and the City of Tamarac provide standards for allowable off-site discharge, water quality standards, on-site retention, and best management practices for storm water quality, quantity and pollution prevention. In conclusion, the area of the existing golf course and surrounding communities has a history of more than adequate drainage. The existing lakes and waterways have always provided enough capacity for the surround communities and there is a direct, hydraulic connection between these waterways and the C-14 Canal. The C-14 canal is one of the largest and most managed drainage canals in Broward County and a connection to this canal all but guarantees a street or community or City will not have large scale flooding issues. The plans will be engineered and designed to prevent any localized ponding while providing the highest levels of service that residents of the Woodmont area within the City of Tamarac have come to expect. All of the Woodmont neighborhoods, existing or new will share in one or more direct drainage connections to the C-14 Canal. There are no historical flooding issues (recent history dating back to 1979) within these neighborhoods. The new parcels will continue to function as a piece of the overall drainage scheme and will each have an outfall to a new or existing lake or waterway. Finally, there is sufficient storage for each new community and sufficient drainage capacity and conveyance within the master drainage system to accommodate these new communities which will maintain the current or better level of service. Please see Drainage Analysis included as Exhibit Identify the drainage district and drainage systems serving the amendment area. All of the amendment sites are located within the C-14 drainage basin. The drainage system for the master Woodmont Country Club surface water management system was designed with lakes and canals, and is connected to the City s drainage system. The projects are located within the City of Tamarac surface water management system licensed under South Florida Water Management (SFWMD) Permit No S. Broward County Environmental Protection Department (EPD) holds delegation for SFWMD and provides permitting services for SFWMD as well as the County s own drainage permitting requirements. The City s water management system has several pump stations that pump excess runoff into the C-14 canal as outlined within the Flood Routing and Allowable Discharge Rates portion of the drainage report. Resubmitted February 2013 Page 11 of 30

12 3. Identify any planned drainage improvements, including year, funding sources and other relevant information. Drainage improvements will include the creation of new and renovation of the existing lakes and waterway systems as well as a series of connected inlets and culverts which direct and convey the storm water runoff to the master lake system. 4. Indicate if a Surface Water Management plan has been approved by, or an application submitted to, the SFWMD and/or any independent drainage for the amendment site. Identify the permit number(s), or application number(s) if the project is pending, for the amendment site. If an amendment site is not required to obtain a SFWMD provide documentation of same. No surface water management plans have been approved for any of the amendment sites. No applications have been submitted to the SFWMD or any drainage district for the amendment site. A SFWMD permit will be required for all sites within the amendment area. 5. If the area in which the amendment is located does not meet the adopted level of service and there are no improvements planned (by the unit of local government or drainage authority) to address the deficiencies, provide an engineering analysis which demonstrates how the site will be drained and the impact on the surrounding properties. The information should include the wet season water level for the amendment site, design storm elevation, natural and proposed land elevation, one hundred year flood elevation, acreage of proposed water management retention area, elevations for buildings, roads and years, storage and runoff calculations for the design storm and estimated time for floor waters to recede to the natural land elevation. A conceptual drainage report covering the premise with which the pods will be designed and constructed along with the level of service which will be adhered to are all provided in Exhibit 7. At this time, the proposed development is conceptual. There are no site plans available for the conceptual sites. Each site was assumed to be 67% impervious, with the maximum building footprint allowable for each proposed zoning district. Per the City of Tamarac Land Development Code, the control elevation in the SFWMD C-14 Drainage Basin is 7.0 NGVD. Calculations have been provided indicating that the minimum finished floor elevation will be NGVD. Once existing topography has been surveyed, a pre-post flood routing analysis will be performed. The allowable discharge from the amendment sites is 69.2 CSM for the C-14 Basin. The attached calculations indicate that the proposed discharge does not exceed the allowable discharge.

13 6. Correspondence from local drainage district verifying the information submitted as part of the application on items 1-5 above. Correspondence must contain name, position and contact information of party providing verification. A meeting was held with John Doherty, P.E., City Engineer to review the concepts of these sites and levels of service and drainage capacity/criteria. There are no anticipated short or long term concerns regarding drainage in relation to these amendment sites. D. Solid Waste 1. Provide the adopted level of service standard for the municipality in which the amendment is located. The adopted LOS standard for the City of Tamarac is 6.2 Ibs per capita per day. According to the Solid Waste Element of the Broward County Comprehensive Plan (Policy 6.2.1), the LOS standard for solid waste facilities shall be the design capacity of the facility. Per Broward County's Solid Waste Operations Division, the County's LOS standard is 8.9 pounds per capita per day. 2. Identify the solid waste facilities serving the service area in which the amendment is located including the landfill/plant capacity, current and committed demand on the landfill/plant capacity and planned landfill/plant capacity. Solid waste generated by the amendment sites will be disposed of at the North Broward Wheelabrator (North Broward Resource Recovery Plant) (waste-to-energy) facility, which is located at 2600 NW 4 th Street in Pompano Beach (unincorporated Broward County). There are two (2) Wheelabrator facilities in Broward County, which have a combined total current capacity of 1.6 million tons per year (0.8 million ton each). Contractual requirements and current demand for the two (2) facilities combined is 1,095,000 tons per year. Each Wheelabrator facility is expandable by 33% of current capacity and a third waste-to-energy facility location is reserved at the Broward Interim Contingency (BIC) Landfill. There are no plans for expansion at this time. The BIC Landfill has a current capacity of 4,500,000 cubic yards and the Central Disposal Sanitary Landfill (CDSL) provides backup capacity as needed. Current demand at the BIC Landfill is 30,000-40,000 tons per year, with no committed capacity requirements. 3. Identify the net impact on solid waste demand resulting from the proposed amendment. Provide calculations, including anticipated demand per square foot or dwelling unit. Currently, there is no existing measurable solid waste demand from the amendment sites. Therefore, the change in demand is equivalent to the proposed demand. The respective generation rate for residential use is 8.9 Ibs per unit per day. Per the Broward County Comprehensive Plan, the generation rate for commercial services is 5 lbs per each 100 sf of building. This results in the following total proposed demand: 152 residential units x 8.9 lbs/units/day = 1,353 lbs/day 30,000 sf x 5lbs./100 sf = 1,500 lbs/day Resubmitted February 2013 Page 13 of 30

Correspondence must contain name, position and contact information of party providing verification. A letter from Broward County Solid Waste verifying the above information has been provided in Exhibit 7 of this application. E. and Open Space Analysis 1. Provide the adopted level of service standard for the service area in which the amendment is located and the current level of service. According to the Tamarac Comprehensive Plan, the LOS standard for recreation and open space is as follows: Public parks: 3.0 acres per 1,000 persons; and Private parks: 3.5 acres per 1,000 persons. Broward County's adopted LOS standard for recreation and open space is as follows: Local parks: 3.0 acres per 1,000 persons; and Regional parks: 3.0 acres per 1,000 persons. According to the Tamarac Comprehensive Plan, the current LOS standard for recreation and open space is as follows: Public parks: 5.4 acres per 1,000 persons; and Private parks: 7.1 acres per 1,000 persons 2. Identify the parks serving the service area in which the amendment is located including acreage and facility type, e.g. neighborhood, community or Regional Park. City of Tamarac Sunset Pointe Park: 8.5 acres located at W McNab Road; Veterans' Park: 6.3 acres located at 7825 Southgate Boulevard; Tamarac Community Center: 9 acres located at 8601 W Boulevard; Veteran s Park: 6.3 acres located at 7825 Southgate Boulevard; Tamarac Sports Complex: 36 acres located at 9901 NW 7th Street; Tamarac Park and Multi-Purpose Center: 10.4 acres located at 7501 and 7531 N.

15 of NW 75 th Street, within the Woodmont community. 3. Identify the net impact on demand for park acreage, as defined by the Broward County Land Use Plan, resulting from this amendment. City of Tamarac Per Section (b)(1) and (2) of the City's Code of Ordinances, the need for park acreage is as follows: 152 x 3.0 estimated persons per dwelling unit/1000 x 3.0 acres per 1000 people = 1.4 acres 152 x 3.0 estimated persons per dwelling unit/1000 x 3.5 acres per 1000 people = 1.6 acres 3.0 acres per 1,000 population LOS = 1.4 acres public parks demand 3.5 acres per 1,000 population LOS = 1.6 acres private parks demand Total public/private parks demand = 3.0 acres Broward County Per the 2010 U. S. Census, there is an average of 2.13 persons per household in the City of Tamarac. This amendment proposes a total of 152 residential units, resulting in a total population projection of 324 persons. Broward County's local and regional parks LOS create a need for 0.97 acres of local parks and 0.97 acres of regional parkland. 4. Identify the projected park needs for the short and long range planning horizons as identified within the adopted comprehensive plan - provide need projections and information regarding planned capacity expansions including year, identified funding sources, and other relevant information. City of Tamarac According to the Tamarac Comprehensive Plan, the City has established a LOS of 3.0 acres per 1,000 persons for public park acreage. With an existing LOS of 5.4 acres per 1,000 persons, the City has sufficient park acreage to continue meeting LOS standards through the 2025 planning horizon. Broward County Broward County analyzes park acreage needs by sector, with the amendment sites located within the Northwest Sector.

Correspondence must contain name, position and contact information of party providing verification. A letter from the Broward County Transit verifying the above information has been provided in Exhibit 6 of this application. 4. Describe how the proposed amendment furthers or supports mass transit use. Per the Broward County Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element, Policy provides Broward County shall provide a convenient public transit network through maintaining 75 percent residential and employment transit county coverage through the annual update of the Transit Development Plan (TDP). This amendment seeks to accomplish this policy by locating the residential sites within the onequarter mile walking distance of Broward County Transit and City of Tamarac Community bus stop locations. Policy provides that the public transit LOS standard is to maintain 70% peak hour function area coverage for residential and employment locations. Functional area coverage is an access standard and a residential or employment area is considered to be accessible when it's located within one quarter mile of a fixed bus route.

18 H. Provision of Open Space As applicable, describe how the local government and/or applicant are addressing Broward County Land Use Plan Objective and Policies , , and (a. through e.). Objective Establish an extensive system of public and private open space areas including natural reservations, parks, beaches, scenic vistas, golf courses, and waterways compatible with the tropical and resort character of Broward County. The Woodmont Community is centered around the Cypress and Pines golf courses and integrated waterways. Currently, the Cypress Golf course is operational and maintained for play on a daily basis. The Pines golf course is closed to play and is still open space however and it is being removed. The Pines golf course encompasses approximately 120 acres of which is derelict and unusable at this time. Although the proposed amendment will include development on approximately 40 acres it also includes the re-development and utilization of approximately 80 acres for a new 9-hole golf course. The Woodmont Country Club will maintain approximately 360 acres of total golf course open space. The southern 18-hole golf course, will be maintained and a new 9-hole golf course with be constructed providing private open space and recreation for the residents. Policy Local governments shall pursue programs, including acquisition of open space areas from willing sellers that will ensure the provision of and access to open space areas consistent with their adopted comprehensive plans and the Broward County Land Use Plan. No acquisition is required with this application, the open space is being provided by re-development of the golf course. The area at the northwest corner of the development is private property and will be maintained by Woodmont Country Club as passive open space. Policy : and non-residential areas, including downtown areas, should be encouraged to provide open space and other passive recreation areas. This proposal of residential development provides for the re-use and improvement of existing open space as a golf course for the recreational opportunities of the community. The current Pines golf course is closed and is not a productive utilization of the property for either the City of Tamarac, the residents of Woodmont, or Broward County as open space. This proposal will create the opportunity for the property to be redeveloped in a manner the golf course can be operational and utilized once again for golf. Policy Broward County shall strongly encourage the preservation of open space areas. Amendments to the Broward County Land Use Plan which would result in the loss of open space shall be strongly discouraged and be required to address how open space and recreation needs of the existing and projected residents of the community will be met, including how the negative impacts of the loss of open space on surrounding neighborhoods will be minimized or mitigated. The current Pines golf course is closed and is not a productive utilization of the property for either the City of Tamarac, the residents of Woodmont, or Broward County as open space. Although there is a reduction in the area of open space that currently exists, the proposal will bring stability to Resubmitted February 2013 Page 18 of 30

19 the Woodmont Country Club by creating Equity members to help maintain the long term stability of the golf course and subsequently the open space desired by the residents. No open space is being lost adjacent to the surrounding neighborhoods as the new plan has been carefully design to maintain golf course or lake areas adjacent to all existing homes. The increase of homes as Equity members of the club will create increased utilization of the golf course and club amenities. This will allow for the redevelopment of the Pines golf course into a 9-hole course mitigating the impacts the current course closure has had on the existing residents. In addition, the vast majority of all proposed residential units are adjacent to either the golf course or the water. The majority of the additional residential units have been carefully designed as to be buffered from the existing neighborhoods by either the golf course or water. The existing residential units within the development are not being impacted as a result of this request. Those units will maintain their existing buffering situation. Policy Amendments to the Broward County Land Use Plan containing golf courses, including closed golf courses, shall address the following: a) The impact of the loss of open space on the surrounding residential areas. The loss of open space must be mitigated through provision of parks and open space to serve the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed development will not impact any public open space or public park system. The impact involves the conversion of a private golf course to residential and commercial uses. No open space directly adjacent to an existing home or community has been eliminated. In every case either golf course or a canal will be preserved / created to mitigate impacts to existing residents. In addition, the vast majority of all proposed residential units are adjacent to either the golf course or the water. The majority of the additional residential units have been carefully designed as to be buffered from the existing neighborhoods by either the golf course or water. The existing residential units within the development are not being impacted as a result of this request. Those units will maintain their existing buffering situation. b) Management of storm water retention taking into account the extent to which the golf course provided storm water retention for the surrounding development and how this will be mitigated, along with any additional storm water impacts created by the new development. An analysis will be provided as part of the Land Use Plan Amendment submittal to Broward County and will take into account the impacts on storm water retention, as well as how these impacts will be mitigated. c) Minimization of the impact on natural resources including wetlands, lakes, aquifer recharge areas and the tree canopy, including any historic trees on the site. The proposed development will be designed in such a manner as to minimize the impact on natural resources on the site thru the preservation of the existing lake / canal system. There are no documented wetlands or aquifer recharge areas within the development areas of this application. As feasible the development will work around an historic trees on site. Resubmitted February 2013 Page 19 of 30

20 d) Mitigation of environmental contamination. The level of environ-mental contamination must be determined by conducting a Phase 1 and Phase 2 environmental assessment. A Phase 1 Environmental Assessment is being completed. A Phase II Environmental Assessment will be completed and submitted prior to the Second Reading. e) Integration of the proposed development with the surrounding areas including how the development will tie into the existing neighborhoods through roads, sidewalks, parks/open space and greenways. The proposed development is located within the existing Woodmont community, therefore integration into existing neighborhoods, roadway connections and open space will be an easy transition. The existing park and open space areas will remain accessible, the development will not block any means of public movement throughout the community. 7.
