PLANNING AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AREAS

DEVELOPMENT, POPULATION, AND DEMAND § REVIEWED THE EXPECTED DEVELOPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE CHANGES EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 25 YEARS § TWO KEY SIGNIFICANT GROWTH CENTERS: ‒ SOUTH INTERNATIONAL DRIVE ‒ UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL FLORIDA (UCF) AND ASSOCIATED CENTRAL FLORIDA RESEARCH PARK. § ALREADY APPROVED DEVELOPMENT WILL INCREASE POPULATION AND EMERGENCY SERVICE DEMAND: ‒ HORIZON WEST (20, 704 ACREST-OWN CENTER AND FIVE VILLAGES) ‒ INNOVATION WAY (APPROVALS FOR 10, 811 RESIDENTIAL UNITS, 28. 2 MILLION SQUARE FEET OF INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL, OFFICE, AND HIGHTECH USES)

POPULATION GROWTH § POPULATION INCREASES WILL SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE DEMAND FOR OCFRD SERVICES § NEXT 25 YEARS, INCREASE IN COUNTY BY 500, 000 RESIDENTS; 400, 000 ARE EXPECTED TO RESIDE IN UNINCORPORATEDAREAS SERVICED BY OCFRD § AREAS WITH THE HIGHEST POPULATION DENSITY AND DEMAND: PINE HILLS, GOLDENROD, UCF, CONWAY, AND VALENCIA COLLEGE § PINE CASTLE/ TAFT/ OAK RIDGE, HUNTER’S CREEK, MEADOW WOODS, EDGEWATER, AND NORTHWEST ORANGE/ TANGERINE ALSO WITH ALREADY METROPOLITAN DENSITIES

EAST ORANGE COUNTY • THE NORTHEASTERN PORTION HAS THE MOST URBAN POPULATION DENSITIES. • POOR FIRE STATION COVERAGE WITHOUT NEW DEVELOPMENT • AREAS OF CONCERN: Ø UNIVERSITY BOULEVARD AND NORTH DEAN ROAD SOUTH AVALON PARK BOULEVARD Ø CYPRESS SPRINGS ANDOVER LAKES Ø STARWOOD DRI (DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL IMPACT)

PROPOSED STATION 67 Travel Time Performance for Stations 66, 80, and 83 Improve by 29 Seconds or 5% Unit Availability Increases by 11%

SOUTHWEST ORANGE COUNTY § EXPERIENCING PARTICULARLY HIGH DEVELOPMENT ‒ HORIZON WEST AREA AND ALONG THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE COUNTY BORDERING OSCEOLA COUNTY. § COVERAGE CONCERNS MORE LONG TERM AS DEVELOPMENT AND POPULATION INCREASE ‒ TRANSITION FROM RURAL TO SUBURBAN AND URBAN TO METROPOLITAN. § AREAS OF PARTICULAR CONCERN: § § § HORIZON WEST ESTATES AT PHILLIPS LANDING AND SAND LAKE COVE INTERNATIONAL DRIVE SOUTH OF WEST TOWN CENTER BOULEVARD AND WEST OF TURNPIKE WYNDHAM LAKES/ BEACON PARK

SOUTHWEST ORANGE COUNTY

NORTHWEST ORANGE COUNTY • Coverage Is Generally Good • Two Areas With Metropolitan Designated Population Should Be Addressed: Ø Northern Portion Of Pine Hills, Particularly Areas Along Clarcona Ocoee Road Between Apopka-vineland Road And North Pine Hills Road Ø Areas Around The Intersection Of Hiawassee Road And Balboa Drive • Coverage (And Efficiency) For The Northwestern Region Can Also Be Improved By Expanding Automatic Mutual Aid, Especially With Apopka, Maitland, And Orlando

Northwest Orange County

RECOMMENDATIONS (2015 TO 2020) § THREE NEW FIRE STATIONS ARE RECOMMENDED FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. § APPROXIMATE LOCATIONS ARE: – NORTH DEAN ROAD &WINDER TRAIL (UCF) – AVALON PARK SOUTH BOULEVARD (EAST ORANGE/ DESERET RANCH) – SOUTH GOLDENROD ROAD &LAKE UNDERHILL ROAD (BORDER BETWEEN VALENCIA COLLEGE AND GOLDENROD)

RECOMMENDATIONS (2020 TO 2025) § BETWEEN 2020 AND 2025, THE FOLLOWING STATIONS SHOULD BE ADDED OR RELOCATED: • NORTH ALAFAYA TRAIL &RESEARCH PARKWAY (UCF) • SUMMERLAKE BOULEVARD &FICQUETTE ROAD (HORIZON WEST) • DARYL CARTER PARKWAY NEAR PALM PARKWAY (I-DRIVE/ DR. PHILIPS/ WILLIAMSBURG) • RELOCATE STATION 30 TOWEST COLONIAL DRIVE &NORTH HIAWASSEE ROAD

RECOMMENDATIONS (2025 AND BEYOND) § THE FOLLOWING STATIONS SHOULD BE ADDED, RELOCATED OR CONSOLIDATED, IN THE LONG TERM. • RELOCATE STATION 71 TOSOUTH GOLDENROD ROAD & PERSHING AVENUE (VALENCIA COLLEGE) • NEW STATION NEAR AVALON ROAD &HORIZON BOULEVARD (HORIZON WEST) • NEW STATION NEAR AVALON ROAD &SEIDEL ROAD (HORIZON WEST) • RELOCATE STATION 32 TOAVALON ROAD AND HARTZOG ROAD (HORIZON WEST)

RECOMMENDATIONS (2025 ANDBEYOND) • Relocate Station 52 to Mandarin Drive Extension & Kirkman Road Extension (I-Drive/ Dr. Philips/ Williamsburg) • New station near Boggy Creek (Hunter’s Creek/ Meadow Woods) • Relocate Station 36 to Winter Garden-Vineland Road & Equestrian Drive (Horizon West) • Consolidate Stations 42 and 43 to a site near North Hiawassee Road & Silver Star Road (Pine Hills)

FIRE STATION RECOMMENDATIONS § 49 FIRE STATIONS AFTER 2025, AN INCREASE OF 8 OVER THE CURRENT 41, IF ALL RECOMMENDATIONS ARE IMPLEMENTED. § THE TIMING TO ADD STATIONS WILL DEPEND ON DEVELOPMENT AND POPULATION CHANGES. AS CHANGES OCCUR (FASTER OR SLOWER) § CIRCUMSTANCES WILL LIKELY NECESSITATE CHANGES TO THE DEPLOYMENT PLAN, ESPECIALLY THOSE FOR 2025 AND BEYOND.

TRANSPORT UNIT RECOMMENDATIONS § OVER 70% OFINCIDENTS ARE MEDICAL CALLS § NINE ORANGE COUNTY FIRE STATIONS ( 22%) DO NOT HAVE ANY 24 HOUR RESCUE UNITS. § ADD TWO MEDIC UNITS TO IMPROVE RELIABILITY AND RESPONSE TIMES § BASED ON DEMAND ADD RESCUES TO EXISTING AND ALL FUTURE FIRE STATIONS.

Presentation Overview § Background § Scope of the Study § Study Methodology § Study Components § Summary § Questions

Summary § THE EXPECTED INCREASE IN CALL VOLUME OVER THE NEXT 5 TO 10 YEARS IS IMPORTANT TO THE CONSIDERATION OF NEW FIRE STATIONS. § RESPONSE TRAVEL TIMES ARE ALREADY LONG ANDOCFRD IS UNABLE TO MEET ACCEPTED STANDARDS OF RESPONSE. § WITH EACH ANNUAL INCREASE IN DEMAND, STATION WORKLOADS WILL INCREASE AND UNITS WILL BE AVAILABLE LESS OF THETIME. § RESPONSE TIMES WILL INCREASE EVEN MORE BECAUSE A UNIT FARTHER AWAY MUST HANDLE THE CALL.

Recommendation Summary STATIONS § IMMEDIATE – 1 STATION (DEAN AND WINDER) – INCREASE REGIONAL COOPERATION § 2015 -2020 – 3 STATIONS (DEAN &WINDER, AVALON PARK SOUTH BLVD, AND GOLDENROD &LAKE UNDERHILL) – RELOCATE STATION 30 W ( EST COLONIAL &HIAWASSEE)

Summary § 2020 -2025 – 3 STATIONS (SUMMER LAKE &FICQUETTE, PALM PARKWAY &DARYL CARTER, AND ALAFAYA TRAIL &RESEARCH PARKWAY ) § 2025 AND BEYOND – 3 STATIONS (AVALON &HORIZON, AVALON &SEIDEL, AND BOGGY CREEK) – CONSOLIDATE STATIONS 42 AND 43 – RELOCATE STATIONS 32, 36, 52, AND 71

Summary TRANSPORT UNIT RECOMMENDATION — ADD TRANSPORT UNITS TO STATIONS 32, 33, 35, 37, 56, 57, 73, 77, AND 86 —ADD TWO MEDIC UNITS IMMEDIATELY
