4. Ordinance 2023-10 — Amending the Town of Lady Lake Comprehensive Plan; Providing for Updates to the Public Facilities Element, Chapter 4; Providing for Amendment to Chapter 4, Exhibit 1-12.3. Town of Lady Lake Water Supply Plan

Growth Management Director Carroll stated that in February 2022, the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) governing board approved the Central Springs/East Coast Regional Water Supply Plan (CSEC RWSP). The CSEC RWSP contains an assessment of projected water demands and potential sources of water to meet these demands through 2040.

Growth Management Director Carroll said that Florida Statutes (F.S.), set forth the requirement for local governments to adopt an updated Water Supply Facilities Work Plan and related comprehensive plan amendment within 18 months of governing board approval of the CSEC RWSP. For local governments within the CSEC RWSP planning area, updated Water Supply Facilities Work Plans and related comprehensive plan amendments should be adopted by August 2023.

Mittauer & Associates, Inc. prepared the Water Supply Facilities Work Plan. The executive summary of the report states that using the current Consumptive Use Permit (CUP) as a reviewing metric with a 5% annualized growth trend, indicates the Town’s current permitted allocation of 1.188 million gallons per day will be sufficient until approximately 2027/2028.

Mr. Carroll stated that the Consumptive Use Permit is due for renewal in 2026.

Failure to adopt the required updates to the Water Supply Facilities Work Plan and related comprehensive plan amendments by August 2023 may result in the Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) barring consideration and acceptance of any comprehensive plan amendments and/or future land use map amendments until the Water Supply Facilities Work Plan has been adopted.

Member Freeman made a Motion to Amend the Town of Lady Lake Comprehensive Plan; Providing for Updates to the Public Facilities Element and to forward Ordinance 2023-10 to the Town Commission; Member Kussard seconded. Motion carried 4-0.
