Capacity: 995 Site Size: 12 Acres Dimensions (Feet): 720 x 720 Elementary Schools generally serve a neighborhood or a small group of neighborhoods where students have a short distance to walk. Land uses should be predominantly residential with housing types and densities to meet the school's enrollment capacity. Playgrounds can be collocated with elementary schools. In higher density areas, neighborhood parks with elderly facilities, neighborhood recreation centers, and library branches can be included. Middle school Student Capacity: Site Size: Dimensions (Feet): 1,719 20 Acres 1,250 (front) x 730 (depth) Middle schools have a community orientation, and a limited mix of commercial and residential uses nearby is acceptable. Community parks, athletic fields, community centers, and libraries are appropriate for collocation. High school Student Capacity: Site Size: Dimensions (Feet): 2,677 45 Acres 1,300 (front) x 1,500 (depth) High schools should be buffered from residential areas. The campus should be large enough to encourage students to remain onsite and to ensure sufficient parking and traffic controls to avoid disruptive offsite parking and dangerous driving situations on neighborhood roads.

OBJECTIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND COMMENTS REPORT CITY OF TAMARAC PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT 08-IER Introduction The following objections, recommendations and comments are based upon the Department's review of the City of Tamarac 08-1ER proposed amendment to its Comprehensive Plan pursuant to s. 163.3184, Florida Statutes (F.S.). The objections relate to specific requirements of relevant portions of Chapter 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C), and Chapter 163, Part II, F.S. Each objection includes a recommendation of one approach that might be taken to address the cited objection. Other approaches may be more suitable in specific situations. Some of these objections may have initially been raised by one or more of the other external review agencies. If there is a difference between the Department's objection and the external agency advisory objection or comment, the Department's objection would take precedence. Each of these objections must be addressed by the City and corrected when the amendment is resubmitted for our compliance review. Objections that are not addressed may result in a determination that the amendment is not in compliance. The Department may have raised an objection regarding missing data and analysis items, which the local government considers not applicable to its amendment. If that is the case, a statement justifying its non -applicability pursuant to Rule 9J-5.002(2), F.A.C., must be submitted. The Department will make a determination on the non -applicability of the requirement, and if the justification is sufficient, the objection will be considered addressed. The comments that follow the objections and recommendations section are advisory in nature. Comments will not form bases of a determination of non-compliance. They are included to call attention to items raised by our reviewers. The comments can be substantive, concerning planning principles, methodology or logic, as well as editorial in nature dealing with grammar, organization, mapping, and reader comprehension. Appended at the end of the Department's ORC Report are the comment letters from the other state review agencies and other agencies, organizations and individuals. These comments are advisory to the Department and may not form bases of Departmental objections unless they appear under the "Objections" heading in this report. 7 Transmittal Procedures Upon receipt of this letter, the City of Tamarac has 120 days in which to adopt, adopt with changes, or determine that the City will not adopt the proposed amendment. The process for adoption of local government comprehensive plan amendments is outlined in s. 163.3184, F. S., and Rule 9J-11.011. F.A.C.

The amendment packet contained text amendments to all ten elements of the City's Comprehensive Plan: Future Land Use, Transportation, Housing, Infrastructure. Conservation, Recreation and Open Space, Intergovernmental Coordination, and Capital Improvements Elements. The Department has identified two objections. The City must adopt a Five -Year Schedule of Capital Improvements and adopt its Public Education Facilities Element by February 1, 2008. A. Objections and Recommendations Objection 1: The City's Five -Year Schedule of Capital Improvements has been deleted from the goals, objectives and policies section of the Capital Improvements Element and has been placed in the data and analysis section of the comprehensive plan. [Authority: Section 163.3177(3)(a)5, (b)1, and (3)(a)c F.S.; Rules 9J-5.016(1), (2), (3)(b)1, 3, 5, (3)(c)1, 3, 6, and (4), F.A.C.] Recommendation: The Five -Year Schedule of Capital Improvements must be adopted as part of the City's comprehensive plan. Objection 2: Objective 2 and Policy 2.3 of the Intergovernmental Coordination Element states that the City will adopt its Public School Facilities Element by December 2008 which is inconsistent with the schedule that requires the City to adopt its Public Schools Facilities Element by February 1, 2008. Recommendation: Revise Objective 2 and Policy 2.3 to specify that the due date for the City to adopt its Public School Facilities Element, execute the Public Schools InterlocaI Agreement and implement school concurrency is February 1, 2008. The City should note that Section 163.3177(12)0), F.S.., prohibits local governments from adopting amendments that increase residential density until the Public School Facilities Element is adopted if not adopted by the scheduled adoption date. Authority: Sections 163.3177(12)(c) and 0), 163.3180(13), F.S.; Rule 9J-5.025(2), (3) and (4), F.A.C.] Comment 1: The reference to the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) is incorrect. The name of FEMA is the Federal Emergency Management Agency. In the data and analysis section of the Future Land Use Element, the table numbers referenced within the text (e.g. Table 3) and table titles (e.g. Table 1.3) need to be corrected to reflect the correct table numbers. Table 1.4 provides projected and estimated population and number of dwelling units up to 2030, which is beyond 2025 as referenced on page 8 of the data and analysis segment. Comment 2: The Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources, has indicated that there is one recorded existing historic resource (a site) within the City (archaeological site number 8BD2136). There are no recorded historic structures. The Department recommends that the City establish standards for evaluating historic structures using National Register significance. criteria. Comment 3: Revise the table numbers throughout the data and analysis section of the Infrastructure Element to reflect the table numbers associated w ith the titles of the tables. 4 Comment 4: On pages 5, 7. 8, 9, and I I of the Conservation Element, there are place holder references to exhibits for wellhead protection areas (Exhibit 12), FEMA flood zones (Exhibit 11), wetlands (Exhibit 14), soils (Exhibit 15) and natural resources (Exhibit 16). daps of these areas are provided as Map 1.6 (wetland protection areas), Map 1.7 (FEMA flood zones), Map 1.8 (wetlands), Map 1.9 (soils), and Map I.10 (natural resources) in the Future Land Use Element. The references to the natural resources areas in the Conservation Element should be revised to reference the rnaps in the Future land Use Element. Comment 5: Complete Table 7. 1: Interlocal and Service Agreement Matrix in the Intergovernmental Coordination Element. H. Consistency with Chapter 187, F.S. The proposed amendment is inconsistent with the following provisions of Chapter 187, F.S., the State Comprehensive Plan: Goal (17) Public Facilities, Policies 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9. These policies relate to Objection 1. Goal (25) Plan Implementation, Policy (b)7: Ensure that local plans implement and accurately reflect state goals and policies. This policy relates to Objections 1 and 2. By addressing the concerns noted in Section I., these inconsistencies with Chapter 187, Florida Statutes, can be addressed. 5 rs 4 C c a ,;lI a- eso AL n = LL 3 ll rsu? ar= E C, 41 N rs u z 4Z=7 E HIE E.2 o o o d 4k d p '4 d G � 000a W m Ualepiapnel 44JON JO QUO 20 LS cc Utl!Y1 i CO U Na I a anuany y349 'M'N O co cr U) Po d 0 O m lO U ID E N E C O U `o U �vv sn a J J r o O � aD c (D— Q L � J C 0 0 0 a d O 'O 0 0 W r C a co Go 2 co _ v W �Y U � J O U o s w o Z `ov U� Qb ivv sn r a I _ 'uv r •iC FLL L r lf� T CGS C •''' V z cv J x E G 09 CD d^ b 4 47 O G +- G} i dIs S N � 0 1 4 W m ;'r d �ti Z 0 � z rn Ua!epjapnel 4draN la Al!U anuaAV ylb9 M'N 3 a ® a 16 !) n r'•.i �iil� d m } Oco N o i dY a r E � N � S- la a o�E o y c -0 0 ° �' ®CD u, U o E v U m '5 U0 Lb- ~gg Fib `o 0 A.. 0 m � 00 m Y i- LL0 v >!
