C. Four types of parks comprise the existing park network, to wit, community parks serving an
area defined by approximately a three (3) to five (5) mile radius, neighborhood parks serving
an area defined by approximately a one-half(0.5) mile radius, multi-use recreational trails
serving an area defined by approximately a three (3)to five (5)mile radius, and special parks
which have no specific service area and may be defined as parcels of land which have single
purpose facilities or functions located as needed or where appropriate throughout the City
(e.g., urban.pocket parks, boat launch areas, environmentally sensitive areas or preservation
type facilities); and,
D. The existing park network is currently adequate to handle the needs of the existing
population; however, the park network will gradually become inadequate as the impact from
projected growth is realized; and,
E. In order to accommodate the needs of the projected population,the park network will have to
be expanded; and,
F. The sources of revenue presently available to City of Zephyrhills will be inadequate to fund
both the acquisition costs of additional park properties and the construction of park
improvements required to accommodate the impact of the projected population; and,'
G. The Comprehensive Plan is intended to establish a policy framework within which the City
Council may adopt appropriate regulations designed to manage growth in a manner
consistent with the population projections described above and to ensure that capital
improvement programming and delivery of services in City of Zephyrhills is responsive to
the demands of projected growth; and,
H. In order to implement the Comprehensive Plan, it is essential that City of Zephyrhills
develop capital improvement programs consistent with the terms of the Comprehensive Plan
and sensitive to the described population projections; and,
I. Past park deficiencies have been eliminated through funding other than impact fees; and,
J. If City of Zephyrhills is unable to fund the acquisition of additional park properties and to
construct the required capital improvements, the park network will be inadequate to
accommodate the needs of the increased population; and,
K. It is essential that City of Zephyrhills adopt an equitable mechanism for acquiring the
dedication of park property or payment of a park impact assessment; and,
L. It is essential that City of Zephyrhills adopt a mechanism to equitably assess a portion of the
costs of the capital improvements to expand the community park network; and,
M. The impact assessment formula contained herein represents a composite of factors that fairly
and equitably approximate the impact of residential development of the park network; and,
N. The number and configuration of park site impact zones and associated budgetary controls
contained herein ensure that the expenditure of funds to provide park property will be
controlled so as to provide a benefit to the development generating the impact; and,
O. The coordination of the park improvement program for the acquisition of park property and
construction of improvements to serve growth is essential to ensure adequate park facilities
to accommodate development as envisioned by the Comprehensive Plan; and,
P. As a means of accommodating the needs of the existing population and impact of the
projected population, the multi-use recreational trail will be viewed as the recreational
equivalent to a Minimum Park and will be included in the parkland inventory for the
community park network.
Section 155.02 PURPOSE
Florida has for many years been a place where residents enjoy a favorable climate and
abundance of open space. It is essential that the public have adequate areas in which to
OR BK 6093 PG 833
3 of l5
congregate and enjoy the climate and natural environment. The City Council of City of
ephyrhills has determined that the provision of adequate park facilities as an essential publi
service. In order to ensure that existing and future residents of City of Zephyrhills have adequat
park facilities to serve the needs of the growing community, the City Council of City o
Zephyrhills must create a program that deals with providing for the location and construction o
ark improvements to meet future needs.
i urrently, the Comprehensive Plan addresses two (2) types of park facilities, to wit, the
neighborhood park and the community park. The City does not plan for the acquisition and
development of multi-use trails or special parks. The types of parks are.distinguished by size,
population served, and the nature of facilities provided. The acreage of park facilities is deeme
dequate to serve the existing population; however, the parkland level of service is projected t
ecline over the next twenty (20) years.
he Comprehensive Plan recognizes the need for regulations which implement the growt
management concepts contained herein. A key concept is the coordination of capita
improvements with growth.
he City Council recognizes that the development of residential land uses results in increase
emands on the park network. Increasing the number of parks in order to serve the needs of th
rowing population is a recognized responsibility of government and is in the best interest of th
public health, safety, and welfare. An objective of this Ordinance is to create a mechanis
hereby residential development may be assessed a pro rata share of its economic impact on th
ommunity park network. The impact assessment formula contained in this Section is sensitiv
t the location and type of residential land use involved.
A, s an alternative to payment of the assessment, this Ordinance provides the option to dedicate
park property and to construct park improvements. The decision as to whether or not such
edication and construction will be accepted shall be based on the application of a series o
tandards that are intended to apply uniformly.
he revenues collected through the impact assessment shall be utilized to meet the capital cost
i therent in purchase of additional park property and construction of required facilities. It is no
tie purpose of this Ordinance to collect any money from new development in excess of tha
mount which bears a rational nexus to the impact of the development on the park network. Th
ievenues shall be allocated to meet the capital costs incident to the park needs resulting from new
;esidential construction which allocation shall occur within the geographic area of the
demonstrable impact and concomitant benefit.
order to assure that the impact assessment formula contained in this Ordinance remain
ensitive to the changing demography of City of Zephyrhills, the City Council recognizes it
esponsibility to annually evaluate said formula and to affect such changes as are required t
ccommodate changes in growth patterns.
is the purpose of this Ordinance to continue to allow residential growth in City of Zephyrhills
ut to do so in a manner which requires development causing impact on the park system to shar
portion of the financial ;burden resulting from those impacts. The end result of such a
quitable balance of costs"is a park network which operates efficiently and accommodates th
emands generated by growth.
This Ordinance contains elements designed to maintain park standards and growth-oriente
eeds. Furthermore, it is the intent of the City Council that this Ordinance-is a component of the
verall City effort to implement a managed growth program, as. contemplated in the
omprehensive Plan and as such this Ordinance and program furthers the protection of public
ealth, safety, and welfare in City of Zephyrhills.
Section 155.03 UNIFORM SERVICE LEVEL
he foundation of the park improvement program is the park service standard which i
stablished by the City Council as the minimum standard for operational parks within City o
ephyrhills. To make this determination, the City Council must consider fiscal realities and
stablish standards which can be reasonably achieved. The City Council hereby establishes the

The City must approve any and all proposed alternative facilities.
B. Multi-use Trail
A multi-use trail shall have a service area defined by a radius of approximately three (3) to
five (5) miles. When developed as the recreational.equivalent to the 10 acre Minimum Park,
in lieu of the Minimum Park, the multi-use trail shall have a minimum corridor width of fifty
(50) feet and a minimum length of one and six tenths (1.60) miles. Minimum required
recreational trail facilities are as follows:

Section 155.04 IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM 5 of 15
hapter 75-390, Laws of Florida (1975), as amended, (The Local Government Comprehensive
Tanning Act), recognized the need for capital improvement budgeting as a facet of the overall
growth management process. The Comprehensive Plan adopted by the City Council pursuant to
t1ie referenced authority, also includes provisions which direct the City Council to implement
growth management through a number of means, including capital improvements budgeting. The
ley ingredient of capital improvements budgeting is an analysis of needs and projected revenues
tat can be utilized to meet those needs. These elements must be coordinated to produce a park
improvement program targeted at maintaining the adopted level of service standards. In order to
achieve this coordination it may be necessary to develop additional funding sources. In any
event, a key step in the process is the development of a capital improvements budget. Therefore,
tie City Council has adopted a park impact assessment program.
he program shall at all times project improvements for a minimum of five (5) years. The City
Manager shall on an annual basis review the five (5) year program and make recommendations
to the City Council concerning updating and other appropriate amendments. All amendments
shall be reviewed in accordance with the terms contained herein. Improvement projects shall no
Tae undertaken unless they are listed in the appropriate annual element of the five (5) ye
program.
Section 155.05 STANDARDS FOR AMENDMENT TO THE PARK NETWORK
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
• Alterations in time frames for improvements, deletion, or addition of programme
improvements, and alteration of programmed funding sources shall be accomplished i
accordance with those procedures required for adoption of amendments to City sections.
B. The City Council may amend said program in those instances where it finds that:
1. Amendments are necessary in order to coordinate with the acquisition of property o
construction of growth required improvements; or
2. Consideration of the public health, safety, and welfare mandates that park improvements
scheduled at later dates be moved forward; or
3. Changes or amendments to the Comprehensive Plan or other land developmen
regulations that alter development trends in an area necessitates a change in the program
or
4. Changes in the demographic characteristics of an area that necessitates a change in th
program; or
5. Available funding sources are altered in such a way as to affect the ability to projec
funds in adequate amounts to acquire property or construct the necessary improvements
or
6. Updating is required to reflect the completion of programmed improvements.
C. The City Council shall consider the following criteria where appropriate during the review o
the proposed amendments:
1. Changes in permitted land uses within the area of the budgeted improvement;
2. Changes in applicable land development regulations in the area of the budgete
improvement;
3. Changes in levels of population that necessitate revisions to the nature of the planne
improvement;
OR BK 6093 PG 837 i
6 of 15
4. Reductions or increases in the amount of funds available for construction of
improvements;
5. Changes to the capital improvements program relating to the acquisition of property or
construction of growth-required improvements.
Section 155.06 DESCRIPTION OF MODELING PROCESS
A. The park impact assessment formula described herein contains a series of components.
Certain components have established values that are uniformly applied based on generally
accepted standards. The development of the population per unit component involves a
thorough analysis of the demographic characteristics exhibited in the City of Zephyrhills.
The source of the population data on which the analysis is based is the U.S. Bureau of the
Census (Census 2000). The persons per household data by dwelling unit type were obtained
from the 2000 Census.
B. On an annual basis, the City Manager shall evaluate the accuracy of the analysis process and
make recommendations to the City Council relating to such changes as are necessary to
ensure the accurate operation of the formula described herein. Should the results of said
analysis indicate the need for amendment of provisions of this Ordinance, an amendment
shall be processed accordingly. Changes in the population per dwelling unit factors described
in Appendices A and B shall be considered amendments to this Ordinance and shall be
processed accordingly.
Section 155.07 CREATION OF PARK IMPACT ASSESSMENT FORMULA
A. Impact Fee Assessment Formula.
1. Components of the Impact Fee Assessment Formula.
A basic ingredient of an impact assessment section is the impact assessment formula. The
formula provides a mechanism whereby the impact of a specific development proposal
may be translated into an impact assessment. The park impact assessment formula has
two general elements. The first is the park property assessment and the second is the park
improvement assessment. In toto, the impact assessment derived through the application
of the formula is intended to reflect the impact of a proposed development on both the
need for park property and improvements.
The City Council has determined it shall recover from each new unit of growth paying
fees in cash eighty five percent (85%) of the per unit park property impact fee assessment
as calculated in Section A.8.B.2., below, and the park improvement assessment
calculated in Section A.8.B.3., below. This percentage shall be reviewed annually.
The cost recovery level designated in the above paragraph does not affect the levels of
service for park property described in Section A.8.B.2., below or the calculation of park
improvement assessment described in Section A.8.B.3., below when applied to election
to dedicate property or make Minimum Park improvements.
2. Cost Factor for Property Acquisition.
To assess a fee-for park property impacts, it is necessary that the City develop a cost
factor relating to the cost of acquisition of park property. The City Council hereby
establishes after the first review of pertinent data that an average per net acre cost as
described in Park-Site Appendix "B", constitutes a fair an accurate assessment of the cost
of park property. On an annual basis, the City Manager shall review the continuing
accuracy of the per net acre value and shall report the findings to the City Council.
3. Adjustments.
Any person who feels the cost per acre factor utilized in the impact fee formula is not a
reasonable assessment of the cost to acquire one acre of park property which satisfies the
siting criteria contained herein, and is located within the respective park service areas
OR BK 6►09 Pr, 3
7 of 15
(three to five mile radius) shall have the right to petition the City Council for ai
adjustment in per acre cost. The petition shall be in a form prescribed by the City. Th
City Manager shall review said petition and issue a recommendation to the City Council.
The City Council shall consider the recommendation of the City Manager and issue
decision within sixty (60) days from the date of filing of the petition. A Notice will b
sent by certified mail to the petitioner establishing a hearing date. The City Counci
decision shall be based on the application of standard appraisal techniques to the situatio
at issue.
If the City Council finds in favor of the petitioner, the City Council shall direct th
revised cost per acre factor be utilized in calculation of the petitioner's impac
assessment.
. Park Impact Fee Formula
1. Computation of the Park Impact Assessment
The park impact assessment formula described in this Section shall be the basis for th
computation of the park impact assessment. In light of the fact that the park propert
assessment may take the form of either payment of an assessment of the optiona
dedication of property, it is necessary to divide the property assessment calculatio
process in two parts. A.8.B.2.a. is intended to provide a mechanism for calculating th
total amount of the park property. Section A.8.B.2.b., is intended to permit th
calculation of a per unit assessment to be paid at the point of issuance of the certificate o
occupancy.
The additional element of the total park assessment is the Minimum Park improvemen
assessment. This represents an assessment intended to mitigate the impact of th
residential use on the need for park improvements described in Section A.4. Th
application of the formula described in Section A.8.B.3., permits calculation of
Minimum Park improvement assessment.
2. Park Property Assessment Formula
a. Calculate Park Property Required for Entire Development.
The formula described herein is intended to be utilized by the applicant in those instance
where the election to dedicate property has been made. The average population pe
dwelling unit by dwelling unit type shown in Table 1, Appendix B shall be utilized.
[Number of dwelling units in proposed development] x [Average population per
dwelling unit] x Acreage needed per 1,000 persons (Minimum Park service standard of
4.0 acres per 1,000 population)] =Parkland acreage required for entire development.
b. Calculate Per Dwelling Unit Park Property Impact Assessment
The formula described herein is intended to be utilized by the applicant in those instance
where the applicant elects to pay the park property impact assessment at the time o
issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy for the residential use. The population pe
dwelling unit number shall be determined based upon unit type, as shown in Park Sit
Appendix B.

b. Cost of Improvements.
The cost to improve a Minimum Park to the service standard described in Section
C.4. is four hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($450,000). An itemized
breakdown of the costs stated herein is contained in Appendix C, which exhibit is
attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
c. Alternative Facilities.
In certain situations, where there are expressed or identified local needs, facilities
other than those listed as minimum required may be provided when there is equal
value. The City must approve any and all proposed alternative facilities.
Section 155.08 CRITERIA FOR ACCEPTANCE OF PARK SITE
DEDICATION
A. The City Council shall review all offers of dedication whether or not the property is of
suitable size, dimension, topography, and general characteristics to serve as a park. The
amount of property required to be dedicated shall be determined based upon the park
property dedication formula contained in Section A.B.B. In making a determination as to
whether or not to accept the dedication, the City Council shall consider the following factors:
1. The condition of the land.
a. Topography should be level;
b. Configuration should not be an irregular shape;
c. Elevation should be above the floodplain (No credit will be granted for land below
the 25-year floodplain);
d. Sites containing wetlands or other environmentally sensitive areas should be avoided
unless it is found that a resource oriented park would be appropriate (No credit will
be granted for wetlands and wetland setbacks); and
e. Sites containing easements (e.g., power line, future road corridors, utility, wildlife,
and conservation)will not be granted credit for the area encumbered by the easement.
2. Development size.
The proposed development shall be of sufficient size to generate the need for an entire
park site or be so situated that the dedication of a lesser amount will permit coordination
with adjacent park properties to provide an entire park site.
3. Nature of surrounding land uses.
a. There must be the ability to buffer the park area from major roadways.
b. There must be sufficient land area to reasonably buffer the park from adjacent land
uses, if required based on the nature of surrounding uses. Sites adjacent to residential
areas must be buffered by either a roadway or a minimum 100 feet wide forested
buffer.
c. The park area should not be located adjacent to industrial or intense commercial uses.
OR BK 6093 PG 8 0
9 of 5
d. When adjacent to other public uses (e.g., public schools, fire stations, libraries,
greenways/trails, or other compatible public property), the location of the site must
allow for joint use of common facilities (e.g., playgrounds,parking, lighting, etc).
4. Access.
a. There must be adequate area to provide a pedestrian circulation system which protects
individuals from forced interaction with automobiles at intersections.
b. Sufficient area and frontage should be available to allow vehicular access from the
adjacent road network without significantly impeding the flow of traffic on the
adjacent road network. Sites must have roadway frontage that allows for convenient
public access.
5. Location of other recreational facilities.
The acquisition of park sites should be coordinated with programs to expand existing
park facilities or to construct new park facilities for purposes of accommodating growth-
related impacts.
Satisfaction of the park improvement assessment shall be accomplished in accordance with
the following alternatives:
1. In those instances where the City Council has accepted the dedication of park property,
then the applicant shall have the option of deferring payment of the park improvement
assessment until the time of issuance of Certificates of Occupancy in accordance with the
terms of this Ordinance or constructing those improvements required for parkland
dedication. If this alternative is selected, the applicant shall, in conjunction with the City
Manager, develop an improvement plan for the proposed park site which plan shall detail
the improvements that are required to be constructed, in accordance with the service
standards contained herein and shall include a construction time frame. The City Council
shall review and approve the improvement plan and shall establish the construction time
frame based upon a review of the nature of the required,,.park improvements and
comparable City construction time frames. The applicant shall post with the City a surety
bond, letter of credit, escrow agreement, or other instrument of assurance for purposes of
guaranteeing the completion of required construction within the determined time frames.
In no event shall the required time frame be less than one (1) year or more than three (3)
years unless the City Council finds that a longer period is appropriate based upon a
project's phasing schedule or anticipated occupancy time table.
2. If the applicant chooses not to construct the required improvements, then the applicant
shall be required to pay a specific amount for each unit constructed. The amount of the
park improvement assessment for each unit shall be determined by the application of the
formula described in Section A.B. The time of payment of the park improvement
assessment shall be as set forth in that subsection.
. Consideration of total development impact at the point in time that required dedication and
construction would occur is based upon the proposed population of the project. The
population projections are a function of the density and type of the residential units proposed
and the population per household factors contained in Table 1, Appendix B.
After building permits are issued for the total development covered by the, original
application previously approved, if the development as reflected in the building permits
issued is less intensive than the proposed'development that was used to compute the required
dedication, then at the applicant's request and upon appropriate proof, the City shall pay a
rebate; the amount of which shall be that portion of the "fair market" value of the land at the
time it was dedicated which is the proportional to the reduction in density. The term "value"
as utilized in this action shall be construed to mean the "fair market value" of the property at
the time of dedication and shall include the value of these park improvements constructed by
the applicant or its successor pursuant to the terms of this Section. In no case shall a rebate be
paid by the City after a period of five (5) years has elapsed from the date of issuance of the
fmal building permit.
BK 6093 PG 841
10 of 15
D. In the event an applicant proposed to increase the residential density of the project with the
concomitant result of increasing the impact on the park network,then said increase in density
shall be the basis for additional park impact assessment review concurrent with the review of
the request to increase density.
Section 155.09 IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
A. It is the intent of the City Council to establish a budgeting process which ensures that the
scheduling and prioritization of park improvements is designed to mitigate the impact of
development and to maintain the park standards described in Section A.4. This budgeting
process and associated improvements program is intended to operate in conjunction with the
improvement program designed to resolve existing deficiencies. The goal of the City Council
is to implement a park improvement program which:
1. Triggers pre-acquisition/construction such as planning, site investigation, design,
permitting, and other park planning functions when the amount of approved but yet
unconstructed residential development in an area indicates a need for expansion of the
park network;'and
and
2. Triggers acquisition of park property and construction of park improvements within- a
reasonable period of time after issuance of that number of building permits which would,
based upon population per household calculations,require the additional park facilities.
To this end, the City Council has established a five (5) year park improvement program for one
budget zone, the incorporated area of the City of Zephyrhills, which program shall at the time of
adoption be incorporated into and made a part of this Ordinance. The plan shall include a list of
proposed projects and identify funds for the completion of said projects. It is not the intent of this
Ordinance to prohibit the City Council from expending impact assessment funds collected during
the first year for the acquisition of park property and improvements, but rather to establish a
period during which the City Council can collect adequate data on park assessment receipts and
other funding sources so as to make reasonable projections for subsequent five'(5) year park
improvement programs.
Decisions by the City Council concerning prioritization of acquisition and construction projects
shall be based upon Sections A.12. A. and B., and the following factors:
a. Adequacy of park facilities;
b. Projected growth;
c. Actual growth based upon the analysis of building permit and certificate of occupancy
records;
d. Ability to coordinate park acquisition and construction of programmed improvements
with the remedying of existing park deficiencies;
e. Adequacy of collected monies to complete the proposed project; and
f. Nature of the proposed improvements.
B. The program shall at all times project improvements for a minimum of five'(5)'years. The
City Manager shall on an annual basis, review the five (5) year program and make
recommendations to the City Council concerning updating and other appropriate
amendments. The primary factor to be considered in updating the program shall be the
service standard of parks. Amendments to the program shall be considered amendments to
this Section.
Improvement projects shall not be undertaken unless they are listed in the appropriate annual
element of the five (5) year program.
SECTION 2. Codification.
It is the intent of the City Council that the provisions of this Ordinance be included as Chapter
155, Sections 155.01 through 155.09 of the Zephyrhills Code of Ordinances.
