The code structure is designed to provide a clear and organized framework for development in the city, with af focus on creating walkable, bikeable, and attractive urban environments. The code willl be organized into several sections, each addressing a specific aspect of development, from block configuration and connectivity to zoning requirements and building design. The goal is to ensure that development in the city is well-designed, sustainable, and responsive to the needs and goals of the community. The code will provide clear guidelines and standards for developers, property owners, and city officials, with the ultimate goal of creating a vibrant andl livable community that is attractive to residents, businesses, and visitors alike. Section1 1.0 Block Configuration a. General Requirements. Figure 11Block & mews Diagram f All new development shall improve thei interconnected pattern of the existing street grid, or design new blocks that are consistent with this code section. The following apply to all new developments: (1) The arrangement of streets shall provide for the continuation of existing streets from adjoining areas into new developments.

Waste Water Treatment Plant Upgrades and Expansion $12 Million The City! has studied necessary upgrades to allow the Crystal River WastewaterTreatment Plant to meet the upcoming higher treatment standards for effluent as well as expanding capacity to accommodate growth. Acomplete Facility Plan has been developed (1) which determined the process improvements and capacity modifications required at the WWTF to meet the upcoming TN effluent concentration limit of3.0mg/L (2) which conducted a site evaluationand condition: assessment of the WWTFto characterize issues and deficiencies within the existing treatment facility (3) which worked in conjunction with the CityofCrystal River, Citrus County, and FGUA to update the City'sutility: service areat to accurately reflect the areas they intend to serve through the build-out of their collection system (4) which calculated the projected wastewater flows over the next 20 years to understand the future capacity of the WWTF and (5) which identified three improvement alternatives for the WWTF to address their existing and upcoming regulatory requirements. The City of Crystal River has been allocated grants and funding in the amount of $12 million towards a total estimated cost of $24 million, leaving a current deficit in funding of $12 million. 2. City Hall Reconstruction- $4 Million The City was allocated a $1.35 million FY23 Legislative appropriation for the "Crystal River Government Center Project", to include design and permitting (for the future reconstruction) of a new City Hall and Emergency Operations Center. Since thatt time, the City experienced the devastating effects of Hurricane Idalia and then Hurricane Helene, during which City Hall, Three Sisters Visitor Center and our Fire Department were all repetitively flooded. City operations continue at a temporary, leased location. The city expects a total loss settlement on Old City Hall in the amount of approximately $1.6 million and is also pursuing demolition costs of the damaged buildings from FEMA and private insurance due to the repetitive flood events and catastrophic damage. AI new, existing structure and site is being sought with the FEMA and insurance proceeds. The need for additional funding for a buildout of the new site is of critical importancet to the city- we anticipate the cost of the construction (new roof, new! HVAC, exterior modifications andi interior buildout) tol be approximately: $4 million. We believe the news site willl be able toa accommodate city hall, our law enforcement partners, and our fire department ina a single location. Hunter Springs isapark! heavily utilized by residents of Citrus and: surrounding counties as well as visitors /tourists. The group "Save Crystal River" is currently utilizing a state grant to pump out spring vents, removing sediment. At the end of manatee season (4/1/25) the Hunter Springs basin and its corresponding spring vents will be pumped out. The critical concern is finding funding to prevent beach sand from entering the springs and plugging the spring vents ensuring the springs' survival via a DEP approved plan. The city appears to have three options-( (1) remove the sand beach, replace the seawall previously removed during the Hunter Springs Park improvement project in 2015, and restore the grass patron area (2) replace the seawall, make the beach flat back to the parking area, and engineer it appropriately to stop washout of sand in the future or (3) return the shore to its original state -al living shoreline (not al beach?).

Funding to relocate N.W. 3rd Ave Boat Ramp- $3.5 Million The Crystal River City Council, in partnership with the Board of County Commissioners, is in need of funding for the added capacity at the existing Fort Island Trail Park boat ramp. As part of the Riverwalk construction, the boat ramp located at NW 3rd Ave will soon be closed. The City previously requested that the State allow for the construction of a new boat ramp at the Crystal River Preserve State park, which was ultimately denied. An alternative to a new boat ramp is to improve the capacity at the Fort Island Trail Park ramp and/or parking area. Staff has presented the proposal to the Citrus County BOCC, whoi is in favor oft the partnership and the project.

Funding to Refurbish the Pete's Pier City Boat Ramp $1.5 Million The city owned boat ramp located at Pete's Pier has deteriorated from age and multiple flooding events and is in need of renovation/repairs. Due to the relocation of the NW: 3rd Avenue boat ramp, this will be the only public ramp remaining within city limits. This ramp is heavily utilized by residents of Citrus County as a whole, as well as visitors / tourists from other areas.

Flood Mitigation Projects-$ $TBD The City of Crystal River is seeking State appropriations to fund flood mitigation projects, including but not limited to tidal valve installations, flood barriers for city owned buildings (pump house, museum, train depot, fire station, public works, DAV & YMCA buildings), hardening costs to modify interiors to prevent repetitive damage. (Add'l description to bej formulated pending council discussions and further input from Finance/Public Works) 7. Turkey Oak Complete Street $12,500,000 The Cityof Crystal Riveri is seeking State appropriations to fund the design and construction of the Turkey Oak Complete Street project from US-191 to Highway 44. Turkey Oak is a critical component oft the City's transportation grid. The existing street is primarily a two-lane road with limited turn lanes. The Cityi is seeking to redesign and build a complete street that has wide sidewalks, street trees, rain gardens, enhanced stormwater infrastructure, bicycle infrastructure, and safer turn lanes. Each of these components will create a safer transportation corridor for all users. Additionally, similar projects have shown that complete streets lead to high quality economic development and redevelopment along the corridor. 8. Civic/Recreation Center- $X Million Ont the: site ofthe former city! hall and/or fire department if they are relocated, develop a civic/recreation center including a multistory parking garage (lower level can flood if only parking), upper level ballroom/concert space/divisible into meeting spaces or classroom spaces, gymnasium, fitness center, ypom-Adrldecpten to bej formulated pending council discussions) 3
