CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER

MEMORANDUM

To: The Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Commission

VIA: STEVEN ALEXANDER, CITY MANAGER

FROM: Dwayne Williams, Planning Director

Agenda Item No. : P. f DATE: October 6, 2015

SUBJECT:

An ordinance of the City of South Miami, Florida, adopting a 20-year water supply facilities work plan and amending the city's comprehensive plan to strengthen coordination between water supply and local land use planning as required by Florida law.

BACKGROUND:

The City of South Miami is subject to the jurisdiction of the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). The SFWMD has concluded that traditional water supply sources will not be sufficient to meet the water needs of the growing South Florida population. As a result, the Florida legislature enacted laws specifying the role the state's water management districts perform in water resource and water supply planl)ing and development. The legislative intent was to provide for human and environmental water demands for a 20-year planning horizon.

The Florida legislature has enacted bills in the 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2011 sessions to address the state's water supply needs. These bills, especially Senate Bills 360 and 444 (2005 legislative session), significantly changed Chapter 163 and 373 Florida Statutes (F.S.) by strengthening the statutory links between the regional water supply plans prepared by the water management districts and the comprehensive plans prepared by local governments. In addition, these bills established the basis for improving coordination between the local land use planning and water supply planning.

ANALYSIS:

The work plan and the comprehensive plan amendments must address the development of traditional and alternative water supplies and conservation and reuse programs that are necessary to serve existing and new development for a 20-year planning period.

Proposed amendments to the goals, objectives and policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan have been made to incorporate the water supply plan in the Future land Use, Infrastructure, Conservation, Intergovernmental Coordination and Capital Improvement Elements.

The purpose of this request is for the Commission to adopt and transmit the City's first 20-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan and to adopt and transmit the related amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. A copy of the proposed Water Supply Facilities Work Plan and the related Comprehensive Plan amendments are attached.

PLANNING BOARD ACTION:

At the August 11, 2015 public hearing the Planning Board recommended approval of PB-1S-008 the 20-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan and related Comprehensive Plan Amendments with a vote of 5-0.

AnAcHMENTS:

• Draft Ordinance • Draft 20-Year Water Supply Facilities Work plan 2015-2035

• Water Supply Based Amendments

City of South Miami 3 June, 2015 2015 20·Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The City of South Miami (City) acknowledges the importance of water conservation and reuse and has included policies in its Comprehensive Plan in order to assist in implementing related strategies. The City also recognizes that in order to maintain a proactive water conservation program there must be an effective coordination program with Miami-Dade County Water and Sewer Department (MDWASD) to ensure the success of the program. In addition, the City maintains an excellent working relationship with MDWASD as a retail customer to ensure compliance with all applicable regulations and guidelines. As a retail customer, the City residents buy their water directly from MDWASD at a determined rate. Under this arrangement, the City's Public Works Department coordinates with WASD to ensure that enough capacity is available for existing and future customers and supporting infrastructure such as the water lines are adequately maintained.

The City 2015 20-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (hereinafter the Work Plan) adopted on XXXX XX, 2015 will reference the initiatives already identified in the MiamiDade County's 20-year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan, which was adopted on February 4, 2015, since the City is a retail customer. According to state guidelines, the Work Plan and the Comprehensive Plan (Comp Plan) elements must address the development of traditional and alternative water supplies, bulk sales agreements and conservation and reuse programs that are necessary to serve existing and new development for at least a 1 O-year planning period.

The purpose of the City of South Miami's new 20-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan is to identify and plan for the water supply sources and facilities needed to serve existing and new development within the local government's jurisdiction. This Work Plan will be adopted with a 20-year planning horizon to be consistent with both the Miami-Dade County and South Florida Water Management District Water Facilities Work Plans. Chapter 163, Part II, F.S., requires local governments to prepare and adopt Water Supply Work Plans into their comprehensive plans within 18 months after the water management district approves a regional water supply plan or its update. Updates to the original Work Plan are required every five years. The City is located in the South Florida Water Management District region in southeast Florida (Figure 1). The 2013 Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan Update (LEC) was approved by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) on October 10, 2013. Therefore, local governments within the South Florida Water Management District Lower East Coast jurisdiction should amend their comprehensive plans by adopting a Work Plan or Update by March 13, 2015. As stated previously, MDWASD provides retail potable water service to its customers in the City (Figure 2).

The City's Work Plan is divided into six sections: Section 1 - Introduction Section 2 - Background Information Section 3 - Data and Analysis


June, 2015

Section 4 - Intergovernmental Coordination Section 5 -- Capital Improvement Elements Section 6 - Goals, Objectives, Policies

1.1 Statutory History

The Florida Legislature has enacted bills in the 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2011 sessions to address the state's water supply needs. These bills, especially Senate Bills 360 and 444 (2005 legislative session), significantly changed Chapter 163 and 373 Florida Statutes (F.S.) by strengthening the statutory links between the regional water supply plans prepared by the water management districts and the comprehensive plans prepared by local governments. In addition, these bills established the basis for improving coordination between the local land use planning and water supply planning.

1.2 Statutory Requirements

The City of South Miami has considered the following statutory provisions when developing the Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (Work Plan):

1. Coordinate appropriate aspects of its comprehensive plan with the South Florida Water Management District's Regional Water Supply Plan, [163.3177(6)(a), F.S.].

2. Ensure that its future land use plan is based upon availability of adequate water supplies and public facilities and services [s.163.3177(6)(a), F.S. Data and analysis demonstrating that adequate water supplies and associated public facilities will be available to meet projected growth demands must accompany all proposed Future Land Use Map amendments submitted for review.

3. Ensure that adequate water supplies and facilities are available to serve new development no later than the issuance by the local government of a certificate of occupancy or its functional equivalent and consult with the applicable water supplier to determine whether adequate water supplies will be available to serve the development by the anticipated issuance date of the certificate of occupancy [s.163.3180 (2)(a), F.S.].

4. For local governments subject to a regional water supply plan, revise the General Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water, and Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Element (the "Infrastructure Element"), within 18 months after the water management district approves an updated regional water supply plan, to:

a. Identify and incorporate the alternative water supply project(s) selected by the local government from projects identified in the updated SFWMD Regional Water Supply Plan or the alternative project(s) proposed by the local government under s. 373.709(8)(b), F.S. [so 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.];

b. Identify the traditional and alternative water supply projects, and the conservation and reuse programs necessary to meet water needs identified in the SFWMD Regional Water Supply Plan [so 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.]; and,

City of South Miami 5 JUlie, 2015 2015 20-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan

c. Update the Work Plan for at least a 10-year planning period for constructing the public, private, and regional water supply facilities identified in the element as necessary to serve existing and new development. [so 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.).

5. Revise the Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements to include water supply, reuse, and conservation projects and programs to be implemented during the five-year period [so 163.3177(3)(a)4, F.S.).

6. To the extent necessary to maintain internal consistency after making changes described in Paragraph 1 through 5 above, revise the Conservation Element to assess projected water needs and sources for at least a 10-year planning period, considering the SFWMD Regional Water Supply Plan, the applicable District Water Management Plan, as well as applicable consumptive use permit(s). [s.163.3177 (6)(d), F.S.). The plan must address the water supply sources necessary to meet and achieve the existing and projected water use and demand for the established planning period, considering the SFWMD Regional Water Supply Plan [s.163.3167(9), F.S.).

7. To the extent necessary to maintain internal consistency after making changes described in Paragraphs 1 through 5 above, revise the Intergovernmental Coordination Element to ensure coordination of the comprehensive plan with the SFWMD Regional Water Supply Plan [s.163.3177(6)(h)1., F.S.).

8. While an Evaluation and Appraisal Report is not required, local governments are encouraged to comprehensively evaluate, and as necessary, update comprehensive plans to reflect changes in local conditions. The evaluation could address the extent to which the local government has implemented the need to update their Work Plan, including the development of alternative water supplies, and determine whether the identified alternative water supply projects, traditional water supply projects, and conservation and reuse programs are meeting local water use demands [s.163.3181(3), F.S.).

City of South Miami 6 JUlle,2015 2015 20-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan

2.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION

2.1 Overview

The intent of this section is to provide an overview of the City including information on land use and population.

The City of South Miami was incorporated in 1926. The City covers an irregular, rectangularly-shaped area which is approximately defined by Bird Road on the north, Davis Road on the south, Red Road on the east and Ludlam Road on the west. The City is entirely surrounded by unincorporated Miami-Dade County except for a small border with Coral Gables on the east and the Village of Pinecrest on the south. The City of South Miami is also noncontiguous between Miller Drive and Bird Road with portions of the City divided by sections of unincorporated Miami-Dade County.

South Miami's municipal form of government as set forth in its charter is "Commission/City Manager". The elected officers are the Mayor and four Commissioners, one of whom is elected as Vice Mayor. Members of the Commission are elected to four-year terms, while the Mayor serves a two-year term. The Manager is the chief administrative officer of the City and is responsible for the day-to-day functions. The Manager is responsible for presenting the annual budget to the Commission for approval.

The City of South Miami is substantially built-out. The City's current population is approximately 11,794 (2015 Miami-Dade County WASD estimate), with future development potential and population growth limited by the scarcity of vacant and developable land. The potential expansion of the City's current boundaries through annexations is the only factor which might result in significant population increase during the planning period. The entire City of South Miami is served by public water lines; however, some individual areas have yet to connect to the system. The MiamiDade Water and Sewer Department is responsible for water supply, treatment and transmission. New development and redevelopment are not expected to significantly increase needs for water service. There are no classified prime groundwater recharge areas within the City of South Miami. Aquifer recharge sources in the City include the Brewer and Snapper Creek canals and their tributaries, drainage structures designed for infiltration, and lawns and swales.

The City of South Miami is a small town in the middle of a major metropolitan area. South Miami has an established small town residential character made up of ten distinct single-family neighborhoods. Multiple-family housing is scattered throughout the City at the periphery of single family neighborhoods. In 1995, when the City's Comprehensive Plan was being developed an evaluation of existing gross acreage by land uses revealed that 878 acres or 56.5% of the total gross acreage in the City is dedicated to residential use. The remaining gross acreages are allocated to nonresidential such as retail and office (10.6%); public facilities (3.6%); recreational facilities

City of South Miami 7 June, 2015 2015 20-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan

(2.5%); streets and water (24.8%); and vacant land (1.9%). There have been no substantive changes since that time. Future population estimates are based on the MDWASD population estimates for Retail Customers by municipality. As stated above the current population of the City is 11,794 increasing to 12,358 in 2020; 12,922 in 2025; and, 13,485 in 2030.

2.2 Relevant Regional Issues

Regional issues that affect the City of South Miami include minimizing pressure on the Everglades and Biscayne Bay ecosystems and, Biscayne and Floridan Aquifers. To that end, the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) is providing the foundation for one of the largest ecosystem restoration projects in the world. The SFWMD and the US Army Corps of Engineers have partnered in order to restore, protect and preserve the water resources of central and southern Florida, including the Everglades. Various projects under CERP help ensure the proper quantity, quality, timing, and distribution of waters to the Everglades and all of South Florida. The goal of CERP is to capture fresh water that now flows unused to the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico redirect it to areas that need it most.

The South Florida Water Management District is the state agency responsible for water supply in the Lower East Coast planning area which includes the jurisdictional boundaries of South Miami. SFWMD plays a pivotal role in resource protection, through criteria used for Consumptive Use Permitting. As pressure increased on the Everglades ecosystem resource, the Governing Board initiated rulemaking to limit increased allocations dependent on the Everglades system. As a result, the Regional Water Availability Rule was adopted by the Governing Board on February 15, 2007 as part of the SFWMD's water use permit program. This reduced reliance on the regional system for future water supply needs, mandates the development of alternative water supplies, and increasing conservation and reuse.

Even with an ever increasing population, withdrawals from the Aquifers will be limited, greater conservation will be required to reduce per capita use; and, reclaimed water must continue to be an important alternative water source per the 2008 Leah G. Schad Ocean Outfall Program.

The Lower East Coast's 2013 Plan Update notes that a number of utilities have diversified their water supplies, including treatment and storage technologies, and water conservation programs. These alternatives include constructing brackish Floridan aquifer wells and reverse osmosis treatment plants, reclaimed water treatment and distribution facilities, and aquifer storage and recovery systems. Between 2007 and 2009, 41 MGD of potable water supply capacity was added. From 2010 to 2013, nine utilities built public water supply (PWS) projects with a capacity of 49 MGD. Approximately 14 percent of the current PWS allocation is now from an alternative water source, primarily brackish groundwater.


The City, through INT Policy 1.4.5 supports CERP and the Biscayne Bay Coastal Wetlands Project.

Additional Policies such as FLU Policy 4.1.1, INF Objective 1.7 and its implementing Policy 1.7.1 and CON Policy 1.2.5 assist in the protection of surface and ground waters, water quality and recharge.

3.0 DATA AND ANALYSIS

The intent of the data and analysis section of the Work Plan is to describe the information that local governments need to provide to state planning and regulatory agencies as part of their proposed comprehensive plan amendments, particularly those that would change the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) to increase density and/or intensity. Additionally, population projections should be reviewed for consistency between the County and the South Florida Water Management District's Water Supply Plan.

3.1 Population Information

The City's existing and future population figures were derived from the MDWASD Retail Customers estimate. Below is a comparison in tabular format. As stated previously, for the purpose of water supply planning the LEC projections will be utilized. As shown in Table 1, the LEC Update states that the MDWASD Service Area has a populalion of 2,239,773.

The lolal 2010 population of Miami-Dade County, in which the City's population is included, was 2,496,435 (Table A-7. PWS and DSS population projections for the LEC Planning Area, 2013 LEC Water Supply Plan Update). Of that total the Miami-Dade WASD serviced 2,141,885 residents.

3.5 Water Supply Distribution Provided by the City of South Miami MDWASD is a regional water and wastewater utility that furnishes potable water service to approximately 2.2 million inhabitants and tens of thousands of commercial establishments. The service area covers numerous municipalities and most of the unincorporated areas of Miami-Dade County. The City of South Miami does not provide or distribute potable water to the City's residents or businesses. The City does not have data on domestic water self-supply.

3.6 Water Supply Provided by Miami-Dade County WASD As stated above, the MDWASD System supplies potable water to over 2.2 million persons, including residents and businesses within the City of South Miami, and is an interconnected system of three subareas. Other water suppliers within Miami-Dade County include: North Miami BeaCh, North Miami, Homestead and Florida City. Currently within the MDWASD Service Area there are 15 municipal wholesale customers.

The information contained in the Comprehensive Development Master Plan Amendments adopted February 4, 2015 and the Miami-Dade WASD 20-year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (2014-2033) Support Data (November 2014), the 2013 Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan Update (LEC) approved by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) on October 10, 2013 and additional information found within Water Use Permit 13-00017-W are herein incorporated by reference. The Water Use Permit which was modified and approved by the SFWMD on February 9, 2015, will now expire on February 9, 2035.

The following Miami-Dade County CDMP Policy supports the coordination with the SFWMD LEC Update: WS-6D. In the development of its future potable water supplies, Miami-Dade County shall, to the maximum extent feasible, utilize methods which preserve the integrity of the Biscayne Aquifer, protect the quality of surface water and related ecosystems, consider and are compatible with the South Florida Water Management District's 2013 Lower East Coast Regional Water Supply Plan Update and the current Water Use Permit, and comply with the land use and environmental protection policies of the Miami-Dade County CDMP, the Strategic Regional POlicy Plan for South Florida, and the State Comprehensive Plan.

The City is within the Alexander Orr, Jr. Subarea which comprises of a high pressure system with two major piping loops. This system delivers water to nearly all of MiamiDade County south of approximately Flagler Street and north of SW 248th Street, including Virginia Key, Fisher Island, the Village of Key Biscayne and, upon request, to the City of Homestead, and Florida City. Capital Improvements Projects impacting the City are referenced in Section 5 of this Plan Update.

3.7 Conservation Water conservation is the key to maintaining the health and productivity of the Surficial Aquifer System. Promoting water conservation equipment, techniques, and practices


will benefit customers economically and maintain a realistic water demand picture for utilities. Protection of the aquifer system and wellfields (Figure 3) through conservation and reuse, recharge enhancement, limitations on withdrawal, regulation of land use, and maintenance of minimum flows and levels will ensure the availability of an adequate water supply for all competing demands, maintain and enhance the functions of natural systems and preserve water quality.

The City of South Miami works in coordination with MDWASD, SFWMD and state efforts aimed at promoting conservation through a variety of means including:

• Water Use Efficiency requirements included in the Code of Miami·Dade County • Limiting Irrigation Hours • Florida·Friendly Landscape Ordinance • Rain Sensor Ordinance • Water Conservation Rate Structure • Leak Detection and Repair Program • Public education. • Offering low·cost kits to its customers to reduce water use in their homes

(Ultralow Volume Fixtures). • The Green Task Force, a resident advisory committee, which works in close

association with the City Commission on sustainability and transportation issues, recommending strategies, policies and initiatives.

3.7.1 County-wide Efforts

Section 4.5 Water Conservation and Reuse of the Miami·Dade WASD 20·year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (2014·2033) Support Data (November 2014) outlines additional MDWASD efforts (pages 4·6 and 7).

Presently, water utilities are saving substantial amounts of water through strategic water·efficiency programs and Best Management Practices (BMP) included in their Water Use Efficiency Plan. The savings from water conservation often translate into more potable water available for residential and non-residential use, capital and operating savings, which allow systems to defer or avoid significant expenditures for water supply facilities and wastewater facilities.

The City of South Miami continues to remain in full support of the water conservation initiatives adopted by the SFWMD and Miami·Dade County.

While the City is not responsible for the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Project, it is supportive of the regional water conservation efforts related to this regional rehydration of the Florida Everglades. The City is also supportive of mandating yard water restrictions that have been directed by the South Florida Regional Water Management District. There are no water conservation projects identified in the City's 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan (2014·2018).


The City will continue to coordinate future water conservation efforts with WASD and SFWMD to ensure that proper techniques are applied. In addition, the City will continue to support and expand existing goals, objectives and policies in the Comprehensive Plan that promote water conservation in a cost-effective and environmentally sensitive manner. The City will continue to actively support SFWMD and Miami-Dade County in the implementation of new regulations or programs that are designed to conserve water.

Reuse For the past years, the State of Florida is leading the nation in water reuse. The water reuse effort in the state is primarily led by utilities, local governments, the water management districts and state agencies. The intent of their efforts is to implement water reuse programs that increase the volume of reclaimed water used and promotes public acceptance of reclaimed water. The City of South Miami is in full support of the water reuse initiatives under consideration by both the SFWMD and Miami-Dade County. The County has committed to implement a total of 117.5 mgd of water reuse as noted in the County's 20-year water use permit.

3.7.2 City Specific Actions, Programs, Regulations, or Opportunities

The City will coordinate future water conservation and reuse efforts with MDWASD and the SFWMD to ensure that proper techniques are applied. In addition, the City will continue to support and expand existing goals, objectives and policies in the Comprehensive Plan that promote water conservation and reuse in a cost-effective and environmentally sensitive manner. The City will continue to actively support the SFWMD and MDWASD in the implementation of new regulations or programs that are design to conserve water during the dry season. Finally, the City will administer its own water conservation practices.

In recognition of the need for immediate, coordinated and visionary action to address the impacts of a changing climate and provide for economic and environmental resilience in Southeast Florida, in 2010 the counties of Palm Beach, Broward, MiamiDade and Monroe (Compact Partners) entered into the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact (Compact). The City of South Miami endorsed the Mayors' Climate Action Pledge, affirming support for the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact, agreeing to consider implementing the Regional Climate Action Plan and the Greenprint Sustainability Plan in whole or in part as appropriate for each municipality and urging all Mayors of Miami-Dade County to support the Mayors' Climate Action Pledge.
