The Committee on Transportation (Baker) recommended the
following:
1 Senate Amendment (with title amendment)
2
3 Between lines 121 and 122
4 insert:
5 (6) In addition to the requirements of subsections (1)-(5)
6 and (12), the comprehensive plan shall include the following
7 elements:
8 (a) A future land use plan element designating proposed
9 future general distribution, location, and extent of the uses of
10 land for residential uses, commercial uses, industry,
11 agriculture, recreation, conservation, education, public
12 buildings and grounds, other public facilities, and other
13 categories of the public and private uses of land. Counties are
14 encouraged to designate rural land stewardship areas, pursuant
15 to the provisions of paragraph (11)(d), as overlays on the
16 future land use map. Each future land use category must be
17 defined in terms of uses included rather than numerical caps,
18 and must include standards to be followed in the control and
19 distribution of population densities and building and structure
20 intensities. The proposed distribution, location, and extent of
21 the various categories of land use shall be shown on a land use
22 map or map series which shall be supplemented by goals,
23 policies, and measurable objectives. The future land use plan
24 shall be based upon surveys, studies, and data regarding the
25 area, including the amount of land required to accommodate
26 anticipated growth; the projected population of the area; the
27 character of undeveloped land; those factors limiting
28 development, critical habitat designations as well as other
29 applicable environmental protections, and local building
30 restrictions incorporated into the comprehensive plan or land
31 development code; the availability of water supplies, public
32 facilities, and services; the need for redevelopment, including
33 the renewal of blighted areas and the elimination of
34 nonconforming uses which are inconsistent with the character of
35 the community; the compatibility of uses on lands adjacent to or
36 closely proximate to military installations; the discouragement
37 of urban sprawl; energy-efficient land use patterns accounting
38 for existing and future electric power generation and
39 transmission systems; greenhouse gas reduction strategies; and,
40 in rural communities, the need for job creation, capital
41 investment, and economic development that will strengthen and
42 diversify the community’s economy. The future land use plan may
43 designate areas for future planned development use involving
44 combinations of types of uses for which special regulations may
45 be necessary to ensure development in accord with the principles
46 and standards of the comprehensive plan and this act. The future
47 land use plan element shall include criteria to be used to
48 achieve the compatibility of adjacent or closely proximate lands
49 with military installations. In addition, for rural communities,
50 the amount of land designated for future planned industrial use
51 shall be based upon surveys and studies that reflect the need
52 for job creation, capital investment, and the necessity to
53 strengthen and diversify the local economies, and shall not be
54 limited solely by the projected population of the rural
55 community. The future land use plan of a county may also
56 designate areas for possible future municipal incorporation. The
57 land use maps or map series shall generally identify and depict
58 historic district boundaries and shall designate historically
59 significant properties meriting protection. For coastal
60 counties, the future land use element must include, without
61 limitation, regulatory incentives and criteria that encourage
62 the preservation of recreational and commercial working
63 waterfronts as defined in s. 342.07. The future land use element
64 must clearly identify the land use categories in which public
65 schools are an allowable use. When delineating the land use
66 categories in which public schools are an allowable use, a local
67 government shall include in the categories sufficient land
68 proximate to residential development to meet the projected needs
69 for schools in coordination with public school boards and may
70 establish differing criteria for schools of different type or
71 size. Each local government shall include lands contiguous to
72 existing school sites, to the maximum extent possible, within
73 the land use categories in which public schools are an allowable
74 use. The failure by a local government to comply with these
75 school siting requirements will result in the prohibition of the
76 local government’s ability to amend the local comprehensive
77 plan, except for plan amendments described in s. 163.3187(1)(b),
78 until the school siting requirements are met. Amendments
79 proposed by a local government for purposes of identifying the
80 land use categories in which public schools are an allowable use
81 are exempt from the limitation on the frequency of plan
82 amendments contained in s. 163.3187. The future land use element
83 shall include criteria that encourage the location of schools
84 proximate to urban residential areas to the extent possible and
85 shall require that the local government seek to collocate public
86 facilities, such as parks, libraries, and community centers,
87 with schools to the extent possible and to encourage the use of
88 elementary schools as focal points for neighborhoods. For
89 schools serving predominantly rural counties, defined as a
90 county with a population of 100,000 or fewer, an agricultural
91 land use category shall be eligible for the location of public
92 school facilities if the local comprehensive plan contains
93 school siting criteria and the location is consistent with such
94 criteria. Local governments required to update or amend their
95 comprehensive plan to include criteria and address compatibility
96 of adjacent or closely proximate lands with existing military
97 installations in their future land use plan element shall
98 transmit the update or amendment to the department by June 30,
99 2006.
