  225         (h)1. An intergovernmental coordination element showing
  226  relationships and stating principles and guidelines to be used
  227  in coordinating the adopted comprehensive plan with the plans of
  228  school boards, regional water supply authorities, and other
  229  units of local government providing services but not having
  230  regulatory authority over the use of land, with the
  231  comprehensive plans of adjacent municipalities, the county,
  232  adjacent counties, or the region, with the state comprehensive
  233  plan and with the applicable regional water supply plan approved

  236  the local comprehensive plan must demonstrate consideration of
  237  the particular effects of the local plan, when adopted, upon the
  238  development of adjacent municipalities, the county, adjacent
  239  counties, or the region, or upon the state comprehensive plan,

  254  adopted comprehensive plan with the plans of school boards and
  255  other units of local government providing facilities and
  256  services but not having regulatory authority over the use of
  257  land. In addition, the intergovernmental coordination element
  258  must describe joint processes for collaborative planning and
  259  decisionmaking on population projections and public school
  260  siting, the location and extension of public facilities subject

  283  local entity having operational and maintenance responsibility
  284  for such facilities.
  285         Section 10. Subsections (3) and (6) of section 163.3178,
  286  Florida Statutes, are amended to read:

  291  403.021(9); port transportation facilities and projects listed
  292  in s. 311.07(3)(b); intermodal transportation facilities
  293  identified pursuant to s. 311.09(3); and facilities determined
  294  by the state land planning agency Department of Community
  295  Affairs and applicable general-purpose local government to be
  296  port-related industrial or commercial projects located within 3
  297  miles of or in a port master plan area which rely upon the use
  298  of port and intermodal transportation facilities may shall not
  299  be designated as developments of regional impact if such
  300  expansions, projects, or facilities are consistent with
  301  comprehensive master plans that are in compliance with this
  302  section.
  303         (6) Local governments are encouraged to adopt countywide
  304  marina siting plans to designate sites for existing and future
  305  marinas. The Coastal Resources Interagency Management Committee,
  306  at the direction of the Legislature, shall identify incentives
  307  to encourage local governments to adopt such siting plans and
  308  uniform criteria and standards to be used by local governments
  309  to implement state goals, objectives, and policies relating to
  310  marina siting. These criteria must ensure that priority is given
  311  to water-dependent land uses. Countywide marina siting plans
  312  must be consistent with state and regional environmental
  313  planning policies and standards. Each local government in the
  314  coastal area which participates in adoption of a countywide
  315  marina siting plan shall incorporate the plan into the coastal
  316  management element of its local comprehensive plan.
  317         Section 11. Paragraphs (a) and (i) of subsection (6) of
  318  section 163.3180, Florida Statutes, are amended, and paragraphs
  319  (j) and (k) of that subsection are redesignated as paragraphs
  320  (i) and (j), respectively, to read:
  321         163.3180 Concurrency.—
  322         (6)(a) If concurrency is applied to public education
  323  facilities, All local governments that apply concurrency to
  324  public education facilities within a county, except as provided
  325  in paragraph (i), shall include principles, guidelines,
  326  standards, and strategies, including adopted levels of service,
  327  in their comprehensive plans and interlocal agreements. If the
  328  county and one or more municipalities have adopted school
  329  concurrency into their comprehensive plan and interlocal
  330  agreement that represents at least 80 percent of the total
  331  countywide population, the choice failure of one or more
  332  municipalities to adopt the concurrency and enter into the
  333  interlocal agreement does not preclude implementation of school
  334  concurrency within jurisdictions of the school district that
  335  have opted to implement concurrency. All local government
  336  provisions included in comprehensive plans regarding school
  337  concurrency within a county must be consistent with each other
  338  and as well as the requirements of this part.
  339         (i) A municipality is not required to be a signatory to the

  378  amendment if adopted. Comments provided by state agencies shall
  379  state with specificity how the plan amendment will adversely

  399  region. A regional planning council may not review and comment
  400  on a proposed comprehensive plan amendment prepared by such
  401  council unless the plan amendment has been changed by the local
  402  government subsequent to the preparation of the plan amendment
  403  by the regional planning council.

  430  limit its comments to subjects relating to fish and wildlife
  431  habitat and listed species and their habitat.

  445  potential adverse impacts to important state resources and
  446  facilities.

  470  compliance agreement, shall issue a cumulative notice of intent
  471  addressing both the remedial amendment and the plan or plan
  472  amendment that was the subject of the agreement within 30 days
  473  after receiving a complete plan or plan amendment adopted
  474  pursuant to a compliance agreement.
  475         1. If the local government adopts a comprehensive plan or
  476  plan amendment pursuant to a compliance agreement and a notice
  477  of intent to find the plan amendment in compliance is issued,

  479  intent to the Division of Administrative Hearings and the
  480  administrative law judge shall realign the parties in the
  481  pending proceeding under ss. 120.569 and 120.57, which shall
  482  thereafter be governed by the process contained in paragraph
  483  (5)(a) and subparagraph (5)(c)1., including provisions relating
  484  to challenges by an affected person, burden of proof, and issues
  485  of a recommended order and a final order. Parties to the
  486  original proceeding at the time of realignment may continue as
  487  parties without being required to file additional pleadings to
  488  initiate a proceeding, but may timely amend their pleadings to
  489  raise any challenge to the amendment that is the subject of the
  490  cumulative notice of intent, and must otherwise conform to the
  491  rules of procedure of the Division of Administrative Hearings.

  496  petition filed by the affected person not a party to the
  497  realigned proceeding to the Division of Administrative Hearings
  498  for consolidation with the realigned proceeding. If the
  499  cumulative notice of intent is not challenged, the state land
  500  planning agency shall request that the Division of
  501  Administrative Hearings relinquish jurisdiction to the state
  502  land planning agency for issuance of a final order.
  503         2. If the local government adopts a comprehensive plan
  504  amendment pursuant to a compliance agreement and a notice of
  505  intent is issued that finds the plan amendment not in
  506  compliance, the state land planning agency shall forward the
  507  notice of intent to the Division of Administrative Hearings,
  508  which shall consolidate the proceeding with the pending
  509  proceeding and immediately set a date for a hearing in the

  743         Section 29. Subsection (8) of section 186.007, Florida
  744  Statutes, is amended to read:
  745         186.007 State comprehensive plan; preparation; revision.—
  746         (8) The revision of the state comprehensive plan is a
  747  continuing process. Each section of the plan shall be reviewed
  748  and analyzed biennially by the Executive Office of the Governor
  749  in conjunction with the planning officers of other state
  750  agencies significantly affected by the provisions of the
  751  particular section under review. In conducting this review and
  752  analysis, the Executive Office of the Governor shall review and
  753  consider, with the assistance of the state land planning agency
  754  and regional planning councils, the evaluation and appraisal
  755  reports submitted pursuant to s. 163.3191 and the evaluation and
  756  appraisal reports prepared pursuant to s. 186.511. Any necessary
  757  revisions of the state comprehensive plan shall be proposed by
  758  the Governor in a written report and be accompanied by an
  759  explanation of the need for such changes. If the Governor
  760  determines that changes are unnecessary, the written report must
  761  explain why changes are unnecessary. The proposed revisions and
  762  accompanying explanations may be submitted in the report
  763  required by s. 186.031. Any proposed revisions to the plan shall
  764  be submitted to the Legislature as provided in s. 186.008(2) at
  765  least 30 days prior to the regular legislative session occurring
  766  in each even-numbered year.
  767         Section 30. Subsections (8) and (20) of section 186.505,
  768  Florida Statutes, are amended to read:
  769         186.505 Regional planning councils; powers and duties.—Any
  770  regional planning council created hereunder shall have the
  771  following powers:
  772         (8) To accept and receive, in furtherance of its functions,
  773  funds, grants, and services from the Federal Government or its
  774  agencies; from departments, agencies, and instrumentalities of
  775  state, municipal, or local government; or from private or civic
  776  sources, except as prohibited by subsection (20). Each regional
  777  planning council shall render an accounting of the receipt and
  778  disbursement of all funds received by it, pursuant to the
  779  federal Older Americans Act, to the Legislature no later than
  780  March 1 of each year. Before accepting a grant, a regional
  781  planning council must make a formal public determination that
  782  the purpose of the grant is in furtherance of the council’s
  783  functions and will not diminish the council’s ability to fund
  784  and accomplish its statutory functions.
  785         (20) To provide technical assistance to local governments
  786  on growth management matters. However, a regional planning
  787  council may not provide consulting services for a fee to a local
  788  government for a project for which the council also serves in a
  789  review capacity or provide consulting services to a private
  790  developer or landowner for a project for which the council may
  791  also serve in a review capacity in the future.
  792         Section 31. Subsection (1) of section 186.508, Florida
  793  Statutes, is amended to read:
  794         186.508 Strategic regional policy plan adoption;
  795  consistency with state comprehensive plan.—
  796         (1) Each regional planning council shall submit to the
  797  Executive Office of the Governor its proposed strategic regional
  798  policy plan on a schedule established by the Executive Office of
  799  the Governor to coordinate implementation of the strategic
  800  regional policy plans with the evaluation and appraisal process
  801  reports required by s. 163.3191. The Executive Office of the
  802  Governor, or its designee, shall review the proposed strategic
  803  regional policy plan to ensure consistency with the adopted
  804  state comprehensive plan and shall, within 60 days, provide any
  805  recommended revisions. The Governor’s recommended revisions
  806  shall be included in the plans in a comment section. However,
  807  nothing in this section precludes herein shall preclude a
  808  regional planning council from adopting or rejecting any or all
  809  of the revisions as a part of its plan before prior to the
  810  effective date of the plan. The rules adopting the strategic
  811  regional policy plan are shall not be subject to rule challenge
  812  under s. 120.56(2) or to drawout proceedings under s.
  813  120.54(3)(c)2., but, once adopted, are shall be subject to an
  814  invalidity challenge under s. 120.56(3) by substantially
  815  affected persons, including the Executive Office of the
  816  Governor. The rules shall be adopted by the regional planning
  817  councils, and shall become effective upon filing with the
  818  Department of State, notwithstanding the provisions of s.
  819  120.54(3)(e)6.
  820         Section 32. Paragraph (a) of subsection (2) of section
  821  189.415, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
  822         189.415 Special district public facilities report.—
  823         (2) Each independent special district shall submit to each
  824  local general-purpose government in which it is located a public
  825  facilities report and an annual notice of any changes. The
  826  public facilities report shall specify the following
  827  information:
  828         (a) A description of existing public facilities owned or
  829  operated by the special district, and each public facility that
  830  is operated by another entity, except a local general-purpose
  831  government, through a lease or other agreement with the special
  832  district. This description shall include the current capacity of
  833  the facility, the current demands placed upon it, and its
  834  location. This information shall be required in the initial
  835  report and updated every 7 5 years at least 12 months before
  836  prior to the submission date of the evaluation and appraisal
  837  notification letter report of the appropriate local government
  838  required by s. 163.3191. The department shall post a schedule on
  839  its website, based on the evaluation and appraisal notification
  840  schedule prepared pursuant to s. 163.3191(5), for use by a
  841  special district to determine when its public facilities report
  842  and updates to that report are due to the local general-purpose
  843  governments in which the special district is located. At least
  844  12 months prior to the date on which each special district’s
  845  first updated report is due, the department shall notify each
  846  independent district on the official list of special districts
  847  compiled pursuant to s. 189.4035 of the schedule for submission
  848  of the evaluation and appraisal report by each local government
  849  within the special district’s jurisdiction.
  850         Section 33. Subsection (5) of section 288.975, Florida
  851  Statutes, is amended to read:
  852         288.975 Military base reuse plans.—
  853         (5) At the discretion of the host local government, the
  854  provisions of this act may be complied with through the adoption
  855  of the military base reuse plan as a separate component of the
  856  local government comprehensive plan or through simultaneous
  857  amendments to all pertinent portions of the local government
  858  comprehensive plan. Once adopted and approved in accordance with
  859  this section, the military base reuse plan shall be considered
  860  to be part of the host local government’s comprehensive plan and
  861  shall be thereafter implemented, amended, and reviewed pursuant
  862  to in accordance with the provisions of part II of chapter 163.
  863  Local government comprehensive plan amendments necessary to
  864  initially adopt the military base reuse plan shall be exempt
  865  from the limitation on the frequency of plan amendments
  866  contained in s. 163.3187(1).
  867         Section 34. Subsection (1) of section 342.201, Florida
  868  Statutes, is amended to read:
  869         342.201 Waterfronts Florida Program.—
  870         (1) There is established within the Department of Economic
  871  Opportunity Environmental Protection the Waterfronts Florida
  872  Program to provide technical assistance and support to
  873  communities in revitalizing waterfront areas in this state.
  874         Section 35. Paragraph (b) of subsection (6), paragraph (b)
  875  of subsection (19), paragraphs (l) and (q) of subsection (24),
  876  and paragraphs (b) and (c) of subsection (29) of section 380.06,
  877  Florida Statutes, are amended to read:
  878         380.06 Developments of regional impact.—
  879         (6) APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF DEVELOPMENT; CONCURRENT
  880  PLAN AMENDMENTS.—
  881         (b) Any local government comprehensive plan amendments
  882  related to a proposed development of regional impact, including
  883  any changes proposed under subsection (19), may be initiated by
  884  a local planning agency or the developer and must be considered
  885  by the local governing body at the same time as the application
  886  for development approval using the procedures provided for local
  887  plan amendment in s. 163.3187 and applicable local ordinances,
  888  without regard to local limits on the frequency of consideration
  889  of amendments to the local comprehensive plan. This paragraph
  890  does not require favorable consideration of a plan amendment
  891  solely because it is related to a development of regional
  892  impact. The procedure for processing such comprehensive plan
  893  amendments is as follows:
  894         1. If a developer seeks a comprehensive plan amendment
  895  related to a development of regional impact, the developer must
  896  so notify in writing the regional planning agency, the
  897  applicable local government, and the state land planning agency
  898  no later than the date of preapplication conference or the
  899  submission of the proposed change under subsection (19).
  900         2. When filing the application for development approval or
  901  the proposed change, the developer must include a written
  902  request for comprehensive plan amendments that would be
  903  necessitated by the development-of-regional-impact approvals
  904  sought. That request must include data and analysis upon which
  905  the applicable local government can determine whether to
  906  transmit the comprehensive plan amendment pursuant to s.
  907  163.3184.
  908         3. The local government must advertise a public hearing on
  909  the transmittal within 30 days after filing the application for
  910  development approval or the proposed change and must make a
  911  determination on the transmittal within 60 days after the
  912  initial filing unless that time is extended by the developer.
  913         4. If the local government approves the transmittal,
  914  procedures set forth in s. 163.3184(3)(b) and (c)(4)(b)-(d) must
  915  be followed.
  916         5. Notwithstanding subsection (11) or subsection (19), the
  917  local government may not hold a public hearing on the
  918  application for development approval or the proposed change or
  919  on the comprehensive plan amendments sooner than 30 days after
  920  from receipt of the response from the state land planning agency
  921  pursuant to s. 163.3184(3)(c)1.(4)(d).
  922         6. The local government must hear both the application for
  923  development approval or the proposed change and the
  924  comprehensive plan amendments at the same hearing. However, the
  925  local government must take action separately on the application
  926  for development approval or the proposed change and on the
  927  comprehensive plan amendments.
  928         7. Thereafter, the appeal process for the local government
  929  development order must follow the provisions of s. 380.07, and
  930  the compliance process for the comprehensive plan amendments
  931  must follow the provisions of s. 163.3184.
  932         (19) SUBSTANTIAL DEVIATIONS.—
  933         (b) Any proposed change to a previously approved
  934  development of regional impact or development order condition
  935  which, either individually or cumulatively with other changes,
  936  exceeds any of the following criteria shall constitute a
  937  substantial deviation and shall cause the development to be
  938  subject to further development-of-regional-impact review without
  939  the necessity for a finding of same by the local government:
  940         1. An increase in the number of parking spaces at an
  941  attraction or recreational facility by 15 percent or 500 spaces,
  942  whichever is greater, or an increase in the number of spectators
  943  that may be accommodated at such a facility by 15 percent or
  944  1,500 spectators, whichever is greater.
  945         2. A new runway, a new terminal facility, a 25-percent
  946  lengthening of an existing runway, or a 25-percent increase in
  947  the number of gates of an existing terminal, but only if the
  948  increase adds at least three additional gates.
  949         3. An increase in land area for office development by 15
  950  percent or an increase of gross floor area of office development
  951  by 15 percent or 100,000 gross square feet, whichever is
  952  greater.
  953         4. An increase in the number of dwelling units by 10
  954  percent or 55 dwelling units, whichever is greater.
  955         5. An increase in the number of dwelling units by 50
  956  percent or 200 units, whichever is greater, provided that 15
  957  percent of the proposed additional dwelling units are dedicated
  958  to affordable workforce housing, subject to a recorded land use
  959  restriction that shall be for a period of not less than 20 years
  960  and that includes resale provisions to ensure long-term
  961  affordability for income-eligible homeowners and renters and
  962  provisions for the workforce housing to be commenced prior to
  963  the completion of 50 percent of the market rate dwelling. For
  964  purposes of this subparagraph, the term “affordable workforce
  965  housing” means housing that is affordable to a person who earns
  966  less than 120 percent of the area median income, or less than
  967  140 percent of the area median income if located in a county in
  968  which the median purchase price for a single-family existing
  969  home exceeds the statewide median purchase price of a single
  970  family existing home. For purposes of this subparagraph, the
  971  term “statewide median purchase price of a single-family
  972  existing home” means the statewide purchase price as determined
  973  in the Florida Sales Report, Single-Family Existing Homes,
  974  released each January by the Florida Association of Realtors and
  975  the University of Florida Real Estate Research Center.
  976         6. An increase in commercial development by 60,000 square
  977  feet of gross floor area or of parking spaces provided for
  978  customers for 425 cars or a 10-percent increase, whichever is
  979  greater.
  980         7. An increase in a recreational vehicle park area by 10
  981  percent or 110 vehicle spaces, whichever is less.
  982         7.8. A decrease in the area set aside for open space of 5
  983  percent or 20 acres, whichever is less.
  984         8.9. A proposed increase to an approved multiuse
  985  development of regional impact where the sum of the increases of
  986  each land use as a percentage of the applicable substantial
  987  deviation criteria is equal to or exceeds 110 percent. The
  988  percentage of any decrease in the amount of open space shall be
  989  treated as an increase for purposes of determining when 110
  990  percent has been reached or exceeded.
  991         9.10. A 15-percent increase in the number of external
  992  vehicle trips generated by the development above that which was
  993  projected during the original development-of-regional-impact
  994  review.
  995         10.11. Any change which would result in development of any
  996  area which was specifically set aside in the application for
  997  development approval or in the development order for
  998  preservation or special protection of endangered or threatened
  999  plants or animals designated as endangered, threatened, or
 1000  species of special concern and their habitat, any species
 1001  protected by 16 U.S.C. ss. 668a-668d, primary dunes, or
 1002  archaeological and historical sites designated as significant by
 1003  the Division of Historical Resources of the Department of State.
 1004  The refinement of the boundaries and configuration of such areas
 1005  shall be considered under sub-subparagraph (e)2.j.
 1006  
 1007  The substantial deviation numerical standards in subparagraphs
 1008  3., 6., and 8. 9., excluding residential uses, and in
 1009  subparagraph 9. 10., are increased by 100 percent for a project
 1010  certified under s. 403.973 which creates jobs and meets criteria
 1011  established by the Office of Tourism, Trade, and Economic
 1012  Development as to its impact on an area’s economy, employment,
 1013  and prevailing wage and skill levels. The substantial deviation
 1014  numerical standards in subparagraphs 3., 4., 5., 6., 9., and 8.
 1015  10. are increased by 50 percent for a project located wholly
 1016  within an urban infill and redevelopment area designated on the
 1017  applicable adopted local comprehensive plan future land use map
 1018  and not located within the coastal high hazard area.
 1019         (24) STATUTORY EXEMPTIONS.—
 1020         (l) Any proposed development within an urban service
 1021  boundary established under s. 163.3177(14) (2010), which is not
 1022  otherwise exempt pursuant to subsection (29), is exempt from
 1023  this section if the local government having jurisdiction over
 1024  the area where the development is proposed has adopted the urban
 1025  service boundary and has entered into a binding agreement with
 1026  jurisdictions that would be impacted and with the Department of
 1027  Transportation regarding the mitigation of impacts on state and
 1028  regional transportation facilities.
 1029         (q) Any development identified in an airport master plan
 1030  and adopted into the comprehensive plan pursuant to s.
 1031  163.3177(6)(k) (2010) is exempt from this section.
 1032  
 1033  If a use is exempt from review as a development of regional
 1034  impact under paragraphs (a)-(u), but will be part of a larger
 1035  project that is subject to review as a development of regional
 1036  impact, the impact of the exempt use must be included in the
 1037  review of the larger project, unless such exempt use involves a
 1038  development of regional impact that includes a landowner,
 1039  tenant, or user that has entered into a funding agreement with
 1040  the Department of Economic Opportunity under the Innovation
 1041  Incentive Program and the agreement contemplates a state award
 1042  of at least $50 million.
 1043         (29) EXEMPTIONS FOR DENSE URBAN LAND AREAS.—
 1044         (b) If a municipality that does not qualify as a dense
 1045  urban land area pursuant to s. 163.3164 designates any of the
 1046  following areas in its comprehensive plan, any proposed
 1047  development within the designated area is exempt from the
 1048  development-of-regional-impact process:
 1049         1. Urban infill as defined in s. 163.3164;
 1050         2. Community redevelopment areas as defined in s. 163.340;
 1051         3. Downtown revitalization areas as defined in s. 163.3164;
 1052         4. Urban infill and redevelopment under s. 163.2517; or
 1053         5. Urban service areas as defined in s. 163.3164 or areas
 1054  within a designated urban service boundary under s.
 1055  163.3177(14).
 1056         (c) If a county that does not qualify as a dense urban land
 1057  area pursuant to s. 163.3164 designates any of the following
 1058  areas in its comprehensive plan, any proposed development within
 1059  the designated area is exempt from the development-of-regional
 1060  impact process:
 1061         1. Urban infill as defined in s. 163.3164;
 1062         2. Urban infill and redevelopment under s. 163.2517; or
 1063         3. Urban service areas as defined in s. 163.3164.
 1064         Section 36. Section 1013.33, Florida Statutes, is amended
 1065  to read:
 1066         1013.33 Coordination of planning with local governing
 1067  bodies.—
 1068         (1) It is the policy of this state to require the
 1069  coordination of planning between boards and local governing
 1070  bodies to ensure that plans for the construction and opening of
 1071  public educational facilities are facilitated and coordinated in
 1072  time and place with plans for residential development,
 1073  concurrently with other necessary services. Such planning shall
 1074  include the integration of the educational facilities plan and
 1075  applicable policies and procedures of a board with the local
 1076  comprehensive plan and land development regulations of local
 1077  governments. The planning must include the consideration of
 1078  allowing students to attend the school located nearest their
 1079  homes when a new housing development is constructed near a
 1080  county boundary and it is more feasible to transport the
 1081  students a short distance to an existing facility in an adjacent
 1082  county than to construct a new facility or transport students
 1083  longer distances in their county of residence. The planning must
 1084  also consider the effects of the location of public education
 1085  facilities, including the feasibility of keeping central city
 1086  facilities viable, in order to encourage central city
 1087  redevelopment and the efficient use of infrastructure and to
 1088  discourage uncontrolled urban sprawl. In addition, all parties
 1089  to the planning process must consult with state and local road
 1090  departments to assist in implementing the Safe Paths to Schools
 1091  program administered by the Department of Transportation.
 1092         (2)(a) The school board, county, and nonexempt
 1093  municipalities located within the geographic area of a school
 1094  district shall enter into an interlocal agreement that jointly
 1095  establishes the specific ways in which the plans and processes
 1096  of the district school board and the local governments are to be
 1097  coordinated. The interlocal agreements shall be submitted to the
 1098  state land planning agency and the Office of Educational
 1099  Facilities in accordance with a schedule published by the state
 1100  land planning agency.
 1101         (b) The schedule must establish staggered due dates for
 1102  submission of interlocal agreements that are executed by both
 1103  the local government and district school board, commencing on
 1104  March 1, 2003, and concluding by December 1, 2004, and must set
 1105  the same date for all governmental entities within a school
 1106  district. However, if the county where the school district is
 1107  located contains more than 20 municipalities, the state land
 1108  planning agency may establish staggered due dates for the
 1109  submission of interlocal agreements by these municipalities. The
 1110  schedule must begin with those areas where both the number of
 1111  districtwide capital-outlay full-time-equivalent students equals
 1112  80 percent or more of the current year’s school capacity and the
 1113  projected 5-year student growth rate is 1,000 or greater, or
 1114  where the projected 5-year student growth rate is 10 percent or
 1115  greater.
 1116         (c) If the student population has declined over the 5-year
 1117  period preceding the due date for submittal of an interlocal
 1118  agreement by the local government and the district school board,
 1119  the local government and district school board may petition the
 1120  state land planning agency for a waiver of one or more of the
 1121  requirements of subsection (3). The waiver must be granted if
 1122  the procedures called for in subsection (3) are unnecessary
 1123  because of the school district’s declining school age
 1124  population, considering the district’s 5-year work program
 1125  prepared pursuant to s. 1013.35. The state land planning agency
 1126  may modify or revoke the waiver upon a finding that the
 1127  conditions upon which the waiver was granted no longer exist.
 1128  The district school board and local governments must submit an
 1129  interlocal agreement within 1 year after notification by the
 1130  state land planning agency that the conditions for a waiver no
 1131  longer exist.
 1132         (d) Interlocal agreements between local governments and
 1133  district school boards adopted pursuant to s. 163.3177 before
 1134  the effective date of subsections (2)-(7) must be updated and
 1135  executed pursuant to the requirements of subsections (2)-(7), if
 1136  necessary. Amendments to interlocal agreements adopted pursuant
 1137  to subsections (2)-(7) must be submitted to the state land
 1138  planning agency within 30 days after execution by the parties
 1139  for review consistent with subsections (3) and (4). Local
 1140  governments and the district school board in each school
 1141  district are encouraged to adopt a single interlocal agreement
 1142  in which all join as parties. The state land planning agency
 1143  shall assemble and make available model interlocal agreements
 1144  meeting the requirements of subsections (2)-(7) and shall notify
 1145  local governments and, jointly with the Department of Education,
 1146  the district school boards of the requirements of subsections
 1147  (2)-(7), the dates for compliance, and the sanctions for
 1148  noncompliance. The state land planning agency shall be available
 1149  to informally review proposed interlocal agreements. If the
 1150  state land planning agency has not received a proposed
 1151  interlocal agreement for informal review, the state land
 1152  planning agency shall, at least 60 days before the deadline for
 1153  submission of the executed agreement, renotify the local
 1154  government and the district school board of the upcoming
 1155  deadline and the potential for sanctions.
 1156         (3) At a minimum, the interlocal agreement must address
 1157  interlocal agreement requirements in s. 163.31777 and, if
 1158  applicable, s. 163.3180(6), and must address the following
 1159  issues:
 1160         (a) A process by which each local government and the
 1161  district school board agree and base their plans on consistent
 1162  projections of the amount, type, and distribution of population
 1163  growth and student enrollment. The geographic distribution of
 1164  jurisdiction-wide growth forecasts is a major objective of the
 1165  process.
 1166         (b) A process to coordinate and share information relating
 1167  to existing and planned public school facilities, including
 1168  school renovations and closures, and local government plans for
 1169  development and redevelopment.
 1170         (c) Participation by affected local governments with the
 1171  district school board in the process of evaluating potential
 1172  school closures, significant renovations to existing schools,
 1173  and new school site selection before land acquisition. Local
 1174  governments shall advise the district school board as to the
 1175  consistency of the proposed closure, renovation, or new site
 1176  with the local comprehensive plan, including appropriate
 1177  circumstances and criteria under which a district school board
 1178  may request an amendment to the comprehensive plan for school
 1179  siting.
 1180         (d) A process for determining the need for and timing of
 1181  onsite and offsite improvements to support new construction,
 1182  proposed expansion, or redevelopment of existing schools. The
 1183  process shall address identification of the party or parties
 1184  responsible for the improvements.
 1185         (e) A process for the school board to inform the local
 1186  government regarding the effect of comprehensive plan amendments
 1187  on school capacity. The capacity reporting must be consistent
 1188  with laws and rules regarding measurement of school facility
 1189  capacity and must also identify how the district school board
 1190  will meet the public school demand based on the facilities work
 1191  program adopted pursuant to s. 1013.35.
 1192         (f) Participation of the local governments in the
 1193  preparation of the annual update to the school board’s 5-year
 1194  district facilities work program and educational plant survey
 1195  prepared pursuant to s. 1013.35.
 1196         (g) A process for determining where and how joint use of
 1197  either school board or local government facilities can be shared
 1198  for mutual benefit and efficiency.
 1199         (h) A procedure for the resolution of disputes between the
 1200  district school board and local governments, which may include
 1201  the dispute resolution processes contained in chapters 164 and
 1202  186.
 1203         (i) An oversight process, including an opportunity for
 1204  public participation, for the implementation of the interlocal
 1205  agreement.
 1206         (4)(a) The Office of Educational Facilities shall submit
 1207  any comments or concerns regarding the executed interlocal
 1208  agreement to the state land planning agency within 30 days after
 1209  receipt of the executed interlocal agreement. The state land
 1210  planning agency shall review the executed interlocal agreement
 1211  to determine whether it is consistent with the requirements of
 1212  subsection (3), the adopted local government comprehensive plan,
 1213  and other requirements of law. Within 60 days after receipt of
 1214  an executed interlocal agreement, the state land planning agency
 1215  shall publish a notice of intent in the Florida Administrative
 1216  Weekly and shall post a copy of the notice on the agency’s
 1217  Internet site. The notice of intent must state that the
 1218  interlocal agreement is consistent or inconsistent with the
 1219  requirements of subsection (3) and this subsection as
 1220  appropriate.
 1221         (b) The state land planning agency’s notice is subject to
 1222  challenge under chapter 120; however, an affected person, as
 1223  defined in s. 163.3184(1)(a), has standing to initiate the
 1224  administrative proceeding, and this proceeding is the sole means
 1225  available to challenge the consistency of an interlocal
 1226  agreement required by this section with the criteria contained
 1227  in subsection (3) and this subsection. In order to have
 1228  standing, each person must have submitted oral or written
 1229  comments, recommendations, or objections to the local government
 1230  or the school board before the adoption of the interlocal
 1231  agreement by the district school board and local government. The
 1232  district school board and local governments are parties to any
 1233  such proceeding. In this proceeding, when the state land
 1234  planning agency finds the interlocal agreement to be consistent
 1235  with the criteria in subsection (3) and this subsection, the
 1236  interlocal agreement must be determined to be consistent with
 1237  subsection (3) and this subsection if the local government’s and
 1238  school board’s determination of consistency is fairly debatable.
 1239  When the state land planning agency finds the interlocal
 1240  agreement to be inconsistent with the requirements of subsection
 1241  (3) and this subsection, the local government’s and school
 1242  board’s determination of consistency shall be sustained unless
 1243  it is shown by a preponderance of the evidence that the
 1244  interlocal agreement is inconsistent.
 1245         (c) If the state land planning agency enters a final order
 1246  that finds that the interlocal agreement is inconsistent with
 1247  the requirements of subsection (3) or this subsection, the state
 1248  land planning agency shall forward it to the Administration
 1249  Commission, which may impose sanctions against the local
 1250  government pursuant to s. 163.3184(11) and may impose sanctions
 1251  against the district school board by directing the Department of
 1252  Education to withhold an equivalent amount of funds for school
 1253  construction available pursuant to ss. 1013.65, 1013.68,
 1254  1013.70, and 1013.72.
 1255         (5) If an executed interlocal agreement is not timely
 1256  submitted to the state land planning agency for review, the
 1257  state land planning agency shall, within 15 working days after
 1258  the deadline for submittal, issue to the local government and
 1259  the district school board a notice to show cause why sanctions
 1260  should not be imposed for failure to submit an executed
 1261  interlocal agreement by the deadline established by the agency.
 1262  The agency shall forward the notice and the responses to the
 1263  Administration Commission, which may enter a final order citing
 1264  the failure to comply and imposing sanctions against the local
 1265  government and district school board by directing the
 1266  appropriate agencies to withhold at least 5 percent of state
 1267  funds pursuant to s. 163.3184(11) and by directing the
 1268  Department of Education to withhold from the district school
 1269  board at least 5 percent of funds for school construction
 1270  available pursuant to ss. 1013.65, 1013.68, 1013.70, and
 1271  1013.72.
 1272         (4)(6) Any local government transmitting a public school
 1273  element to implement school concurrency pursuant to the
 1274  requirements of s. 163.3180 before May 31, 2002, the effective
 1275  date of this section is not required to amend the element or any
 1276  interlocal agreement to conform with the provisions of
 1277  subsections (2)-(4) (2)-(6) if the element is adopted before
 1278  June 1, 2003, prior to or within 1 year after the effective date
 1279  of subsections (2)-(6) and remains in effect.
 1280         (5)(7) A board and the local governing body must share and
 1281  coordinate information related to existing and planned school
 1282  facilities; proposals for development, redevelopment, or
 1283  additional development; and infrastructure required to support
 1284  the school facilities, concurrent with proposed development. A
 1285  school board must shall use information produced by the
 1286  demographic, revenue, and education estimating conferences
 1287  pursuant to s. 216.136 when preparing the district educational
 1288  facilities plan pursuant to s. 1013.35, as modified and agreed
 1289  to by the local governments, if when provided by interlocal
 1290  agreement, and the Office of Educational Facilities, in
 1291  consideration of local governments’ population projections, to
 1292  ensure that the district educational facilities plan not only
 1293  reflects enrollment projections but also considers applicable
 1294  municipal and county growth and development projections. The
 1295  projections must be apportioned geographically with assistance
 1296  from the local governments using local government trend data and
 1297  the school district student enrollment data. A school board is
 1298  precluded from siting a new school in a jurisdiction where the
 1299  school board has failed to provide the annual educational
 1300  facilities plan for the prior year required pursuant to s.
 1301  1013.35 unless the failure is corrected.
 1302         (6)(8) The location of educational facilities shall be
 1303  consistent with the comprehensive plan of the appropriate local
 1304  governing body developed under part II of chapter 163 and
 1305  consistent with the plan’s implementing land development
 1306  regulations.
 1307         (7)(9) To improve coordination relative to potential
 1308  educational facility sites, a board shall provide written notice
 1309  to the local government that has regulatory authority over the
 1310  use of the land consistent with an interlocal agreement entered
 1311  pursuant to subsections (2)-(4) (2)-(6) at least 60 days before
 1312  prior to acquiring or leasing property that may be used for a
 1313  new public educational facility. The local government, upon
 1314  receipt of this notice, shall notify the board within 45 days if
 1315  the site proposed for acquisition or lease is consistent with
 1316  the land use categories and policies of the local government’s
 1317  comprehensive plan. This preliminary notice does not constitute
 1318  the local government’s determination of consistency pursuant to
 1319  subsection (8) (10).
 1320         (8)(10) As early in the design phase as feasible and
 1321  consistent with an interlocal agreement entered pursuant to
 1322  subsections (2)-(4) (2)-(6), but no later than 90 days before
 1323  commencing construction, the district school board shall in
 1324  writing request a determination of consistency with the local
 1325  government’s comprehensive plan. The local governing body that
 1326  regulates the use of land shall determine, in writing within 45
 1327  days after receiving the necessary information and a school
 1328  board’s request for a determination, whether a proposed
 1329  educational facility is consistent with the local comprehensive
 1330  plan and consistent with local land development regulations. If
 1331  the determination is affirmative, school construction may
 1332  commence and further local government approvals are not
 1333  required, except as provided in this section. Failure of the
 1334  local governing body to make a determination in writing within
 1335  90 days after a district school board’s request for a
 1336  determination of consistency shall be considered an approval of
 1337  the district school board’s application. Campus master plans and
 1338  development agreements must comply with the provisions of s.
 1339  1013.30.
 1340         (9)(11) A local governing body may not deny the site
 1341  applicant based on adequacy of the site plan as it relates
 1342  solely to the needs of the school. If the site is consistent
 1343  with the comprehensive plan’s land use policies and categories
 1344  in which public schools are identified as allowable uses, the
 1345  local government may not deny the application but it may impose
 1346  reasonable development standards and conditions in accordance
 1347  with s. 1013.51(1) and consider the site plan and its adequacy
 1348  as it relates to environmental concerns, health, safety and
 1349  welfare, and effects on adjacent property. Standards and
 1350  conditions may not be imposed which conflict with those
 1351  established in this chapter or the Florida Building Code, unless
 1352  mutually agreed and consistent with the interlocal agreement
 1353  required by subsections (2)-(4) (2)-(6).
 1354         (10)(12) This section does not prohibit a local governing
 1355  body and district school board from agreeing and establishing an
 1356  alternative process for reviewing a proposed educational
 1357  facility and site plan, and offsite impacts, pursuant to an
 1358  interlocal agreement adopted in accordance with subsections (2)
 1359  (4) (2)-(6).
 1360         (11)(13) Existing schools shall be considered consistent
 1361  with the applicable local government comprehensive plan adopted
 1362  under part II of chapter 163. If a board submits an application
 1363  to expand an existing school site, the local governing body may
 1364  impose reasonable development standards and conditions on the
 1365  expansion only, and in a manner consistent with s. 1013.51(1).
 1366  Standards and conditions may not be imposed which conflict with
 1367  those established in this chapter or the Florida Building Code,
 1368  unless mutually agreed. Local government review or approval is
 1369  not required for:
 1370         (a) The placement of temporary or portable classroom
 1371  facilities; or
 1372         (b) Proposed renovation or construction on existing school
 1373  sites, with the exception of construction that changes the
 1374  primary use of a facility, includes stadiums, or results in a
 1375  greater than 5 percent increase in student capacity, or as
 1376  mutually agreed upon, pursuant to an interlocal agreement
 1377  adopted in accordance with subsections (2)-(4) (2)-(6).
 1378         Section 37. Paragraph (b) of subsection (2) and subsection
 1379  (3) of section 1013.35, Florida Statutes, are amended to read:
 1380         1013.35 School district educational facilities plan;
 1381  definitions; preparation, adoption, and amendment; long-term
 1382  work programs.—
 1383         (2) PREPARATION OF TENTATIVE DISTRICT EDUCATIONAL
 1384  FACILITIES PLAN.—
 1385         (b) The plan must also include a financially feasible
 1386  district facilities work program for a 5-year period. The work
 1387  program must include:
 1388         1. A schedule of major repair and renovation projects
 1389  necessary to maintain the educational facilities and ancillary
 1390  facilities of the district.
 1391         2. A schedule of capital outlay projects necessary to
 1392  ensure the availability of satisfactory student stations for the
 1393  projected student enrollment in K-12 programs. This schedule
 1394  shall consider:
 1395         a. The locations, capacities, and planned utilization rates
 1396  of current educational facilities of the district. The capacity
 1397  of existing satisfactory facilities, as reported in the Florida
 1398  Inventory of School Houses must be compared to the capital
 1399  outlay full-time-equivalent student enrollment as determined by
 1400  the department, including all enrollment used in the calculation
 1401  of the distribution formula in s. 1013.64.
 1402         b. The proposed locations of planned facilities, whether
 1403  those locations are consistent with the comprehensive plans of
 1404  all affected local governments, and recommendations for
 1405  infrastructure and other improvements to land adjacent to
 1406  existing facilities. The provisions of ss. 1013.33(8), (9), and
 1407  (10) ss. 1013.33(10), (11), and (12) and 1013.36 must be
 1408  addressed for new facilities planned within the first 3 years of
 1409  the work plan, as appropriate.
 1410         c. Plans for the use and location of relocatable
 1411  facilities, leased facilities, and charter school facilities.
 1412         d. Plans for multitrack scheduling, grade level
 1413  organization, block scheduling, or other alternatives that
 1414  reduce the need for additional permanent student stations.
 1415         e. Information concerning average class size and
 1416  utilization rate by grade level within the district which will
 1417  result if the tentative district facilities work program is
 1418  fully implemented.
 1419         f. The number and percentage of district students planned
 1420  to be educated in relocatable facilities during each year of the
 1421  tentative district facilities work program. For determining
 1422  future needs, student capacity may not be assigned to any
 1423  relocatable classroom that is scheduled for elimination or
 1424  replacement with a permanent educational facility in the current
 1425  year of the adopted district educational facilities plan and in
 1426  the district facilities work program adopted under this section.
 1427  Those relocatable classrooms clearly identified and scheduled
 1428  for replacement in a school-board-adopted, financially feasible,
 1429  5-year district facilities work program shall be counted at zero
 1430  capacity at the time the work program is adopted and approved by
 1431  the school board. However, if the district facilities work
 1432  program is changed and the relocatable classrooms are not
 1433  replaced as scheduled in the work program, the classrooms must
 1434  be reentered into the system and be counted at actual capacity.
 1435  Relocatable classrooms may not be perpetually added to the work
 1436  program or continually extended for purposes of circumventing
 1437  this section. All relocatable classrooms not identified and
 1438  scheduled for replacement, including those owned, lease
 1439  purchased, or leased by the school district, must be counted at
 1440  actual student capacity. The district educational facilities
 1441  plan must identify the number of relocatable student stations
 1442  scheduled for replacement during the 5-year survey period and
 1443  the total dollar amount needed for that replacement.
 1444         g. Plans for the closure of any school, including plans for
 1445  disposition of the facility or usage of facility space, and
 1446  anticipated revenues.
 1447         h. Projects for which capital outlay and debt service funds
 1448  accruing under s. 9(d), Art. XII of the State Constitution are
 1449  to be used shall be identified separately in priority order on a
 1450  project priority list within the district facilities work
 1451  program.
 1452         3. The projected cost for each project identified in the
 1453  district facilities work program. For proposed projects for new
 1454  student stations, a schedule shall be prepared comparing the
 1455  planned cost and square footage for each new student station, by
 1456  elementary, middle, and high school levels, to the low, average,
 1457  and high cost of facilities constructed throughout the state
 1458  during the most recent fiscal year for which data is available
 1459  from the Department of Education.
 1460         4. A schedule of estimated capital outlay revenues from
 1461  each currently approved source which is estimated to be
 1462  available for expenditure on the projects included in the
 1463  district facilities work program.
 1464         5. A schedule indicating which projects included in the
 1465  district facilities work program will be funded from current
 1466  revenues projected in subparagraph 4.
 1467         6. A schedule of options for the generation of additional
 1468  revenues by the district for expenditure on projects identified
 1469  in the district facilities work program which are not funded
 1470  under subparagraph 5. Additional anticipated revenues may
 1471  include effort index grants, SIT Program awards, and Classrooms
 1472  First funds.
 1473         (3) SUBMITTAL OF TENTATIVE DISTRICT EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES
 1474  PLAN TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT.—The district school board shall submit
 1475  a copy of its tentative district educational facilities plan to
 1476  all affected local governments prior to adoption by the board.
 1477  The affected local governments shall review the tentative
 1478  district educational facilities plan and comment to the district
 1479  school board on the consistency of the plan with the local
 1480  comprehensive plan, whether a comprehensive plan amendment will
 1481  be necessary for any proposed educational facility, and whether
 1482  the local government supports a necessary comprehensive plan
 1483  amendment. If the local government does not support a
 1484  comprehensive plan amendment for a proposed educational
 1485  facility, the matter shall be resolved pursuant to the
 1486  interlocal agreement when required by ss. 163.3177(6)(h) and,
 1487  163.31777, and 1013.33(2). The process for the submittal and
 1488  review shall be detailed in the interlocal agreement when
 1489  required pursuant to ss. 163.3177(6)(h) and, 163.31777, and
 1490  1013.33(2).
 1491         Section 38. Subsection (3) of section 1013.351, Florida
 1492  Statutes, is amended to read:
 1493         1013.351 Coordination of planning between the Florida
 1494  School for the Deaf and the Blind and local governing bodies.—
 1495         (3) The board of trustees and the municipality in which the
 1496  school is located may enter into an interlocal agreement to
 1497  establish the specific ways in which the plans and processes of
 1498  the board of trustees and the local government are to be
 1499  coordinated. If the school and local government enter into an
 1500  interlocal agreement, the agreement must be submitted to the
 1501  state land planning agency and the Office of Educational
 1502  Facilities.
 1503         Section 39. This act shall take effect upon becoming a law.
