No, that is not the adiabatic lapse rate, that is the typical atmospheric lapse rate. You don't want to use the adiabatic lapse rate. BTW, I already addressed the issue in an earlier post (#4)

The adiabatic lapse rate for temperature change with elevation is 4 degrees F for each 1000 ft. Even if parts of Citrus Hills are actually 250 ft higher, the average difference in temperature would only be 1 degree.
