 1  government incentives pursuant to s. 163.2517.

 2         Section 4.  Section 163.2523, Florida Statutes, is

 3  amended to read:

 4         163.2523  Grant program.--An Urban Infill and

 5  Redevelopment Assistance Grant Program is created for local

 6  governments. A local government may allocate grant money to

 7  special districts, including community redevelopment agencies,

 8  and nonprofit community development organizations to implement

 9  projects consistent with an adopted urban infill and

10  redevelopment plan or plan employed in lieu thereof. Thirty

11  percent of the general revenue appropriated for this program

12  shall be available for planning grants to be used by local

13  governments for the development of an urban infill and

14  redevelopment plan, including community participation

15  processes for the plan. Sixty percent of the general revenue

16  appropriated for this program shall be available for

17  fifty/fifty matching grants for implementing urban infill and

18  redevelopment projects that further the objectives set forth

19  in the local government's adopted urban infill and

20  redevelopment plan or plan employed in lieu thereof. The

21  remaining 10 percent of the revenue must be used for outright

22  grants for implementing projects requiring an expenditure of

23  under $50,000. If the volume of fundable applications under

24  any of the allocations specified in this section does not

25  fully obligate the amount of the allocation, the Department of

26  Community Affairs may transfer the unused balance to the

27  category having the highest dollar value of applications

28  eligible but unfunded. However, in no event may the percentage

29  of dollars allocated to outright grants for implementing

30  projects exceed 20 percent in any given fiscal year. Projects

31  that provide employment opportunities to clients of the WAGES

 3  Main Street program, Front Porch Florida Community,

 4  sustainable community, enterprise zone, federal enterprise

 5  zone, enterprise community, or neighborhood improvement

17         (6)  In addition to the requirements of subsections

18  (1)-(5), the comprehensive plan shall include the following

19  elements:

20         (a)  A future land use plan element designating

21  proposed future general distribution, location, and extent of

22  the uses of land for residential uses, commercial uses,

23  industry, agriculture, recreation, conservation, education,

24  public buildings and grounds, other public facilities, and

25  other categories of the public and private uses of land.  The

26  future land use plan shall include standards to be followed in

27  the control and distribution of population densities and

28  building and structure intensities.  The proposed

29  distribution, location, and extent of the various categories

30  of land use shall be shown on a land use map or map series

    Amendment No.     (for drafter's use only)





 1  objectives.  Each land use category shall be defined in terms

 2  of the types of uses included and specific standards for the

 3  density or intensity of use.  The future land use plan shall

 4  be based upon surveys, studies, and data regarding the area,

 5  including the amount of land required to accommodate

 6  anticipated growth; the projected population of the area; the

 7  character of undeveloped land; the availability of public

 8  services; the need for redevelopment, including the renewal of

 9  blighted areas and the elimination of nonconforming uses which

10  are inconsistent with the character of the community; and, in

11  rural communities, the need for job creation, capital

12  investment, and economic development that will strengthen and

13  diversify the community's economy. The future land use plan

14  may designate areas for future planned development use

15  involving combinations of types of uses for which special

16  regulations may be necessary to ensure development in accord

17  with the principles and standards of the comprehensive plan

18  and this act. In addition, for rural communities, the amount

19  of land designated for future planned industrial use shall be

20  based upon surveys and studies that reflect the need for job

21  creation, capital investment, and the necessity to strengthen

22  and diversify the local economies, and shall not be limited

23  solely by the projected population of the rural community. The

24  future land use plan of a county may also designate areas for

25  possible future municipal incorporation. The land use maps or

26  map series shall generally identify and depict historic

27  district boundaries and shall designate historically

28  significant properties meriting protection.  The future land

29  use element must clearly identify the land use categories in

30  which public schools are an allowable use.  When delineating

 1  allowable use, a local government shall include in the

 2  categories sufficient land proximate to residential

 3  development to meet the projected needs for schools in

 4  coordination with public school boards and may establish

 5  differing criteria for schools of different type or size. Each

 6  local government shall include lands contiguous to existing

 7  school sites, to the maximum extent possible, within the land

 8  use categories in which public schools are an allowable use.

 9  All comprehensive plans must comply with the school siting

10  requirements of this paragraph no later than October 1, 1999.

11  The failure by a local government to comply with these school

12  siting requirements by October 1, 1999, will result in the

13  prohibition of the local government's ability to amend the

14  local comprehensive plan, except for plan amendments described

15  in s. 163.3187(1)(b), until the school siting requirements are

16  met. An amendment proposed by a local government for purposes

17  of identifying the land use categories in which public schools

18  are an allowable use is exempt from the limitation on the

19  frequency of plan amendments contained in s. 163.3187. The

20  future land use element shall include criteria which encourage

21  the location of schools proximate to urban residential areas

22  to the extent possible and shall require that the local

23  government seek to collocate public facilities, such as parks,

24  libraries, and community centers, with schools to the extent

25  possible. For schools serving predominantly rural areas, an

26  agricultural land use category may be eligible by plan

27  amendment for the location of public school facilities,

28  provided the local comprehensive plan contains school siting

29  criteria or the applicable land use category will be amended

30  through a comprehensive plan amendment.

 1  innovative planning and development strategies which will

 2  address the anticipated demands of continued urbanization of

 3  Florida's coastal and other environmentally sensitive areas,

 4  and which will accommodate the development of less populated

 5  regions of the state which seek economic development and which

 6  have suitable land and water resources to accommodate growth

 7  in an environmentally acceptable manner.  The Legislature

 8  further recognizes the substantial advantages of innovative

 9  approaches to development which may better serve to protect

10  environmentally sensitive areas, maintain the economic

11  viability of agricultural and other predominantly rural land

12  uses, and provide for the cost-efficient delivery of public

13  facilities and services.

14         (b)  It is the intent of the Legislature that the local

15  government comprehensive plans and plan amendments adopted

16  pursuant to the provisions of this part provide for a planning

17  process which allows for land use efficiencies within existing

18  urban areas and which also allows for the conversion of rural

19  lands to other uses, where appropriate and consistent with the

20  other provisions of this part and the affected local

21  comprehensive plans, through the application of innovative and

22  flexible planning and development strategies and creative land

23  use planning techniques, which may include, but not be limited

24  to, urban villages, new towns, satellite communities,

25  area-based allocations, clustering and open space provisions,

26  mixed-use development, and sector planning.

27         (c)  Lands classified in the future land use plan

28  element as agricultural, rural, open, open/rural, or a

29  substantively equivalent land use may also be appropriate for

30  innovative planning and development strategies described in

31  paragraphs (a) and (b), which the department recognizes as

 3  policy plans, and this part.

 4         (d)  The Department of Community Affairs, in

 5  conjunction with the Department of Agriculture and Consumer

 6  Services, shall, by no later than December 15, 2000, prepare

 7  and submit to the Governor, the Speaker of the House of

 8  Representatives, and the President of the Senate a report on a

 9  program of planning incentives, economic incentives, and other

10  measures as may be necessary to facilitate the timely

 1  which supports innovative and flexible planning and

 2  development strategies, and the purposes of this part, and

 3  part I of chapter 380, and to avoid duplication of effort in

 4  terms of the level of data and analysis required for a

 5  development of regional impact, while ensuring the adequate

 6  mitigation of impacts to applicable regional resources and

 7  facilities, including those within the jurisdiction of other

 8  local governments, as would otherwise be provided. Optional

 9  sector plans are intended for substantial geographic areas

10  including at least 5,000 acres of one or more local

11  governmental jurisdictions and are to emphasize urban form and

12  protection of regionally significant resources and facilities.

13  The state land planning agency may approve optional sector

14  plans of less than 5,000 acres based on local circumstances if

15  it is determined that the plan would further the purposes of

16  this part and part I of chapter 380. Preparation of an

17  optional sector plan is authorized by agreement between the

18  state land planning agency and the applicable local

19  governments under s. 163.3171(4). An optional sector plan may

20  be adopted through one or more comprehensive plan amendments

21  under s. 163.3184. However, an optional sector plan may not be

22  authorized in an area of critical state concern.

23         (2)  The state land planning agency may enter into an

24  agreement to authorize preparation of an optional sector plan

25  upon the request of one or more local governments based on

26  consideration of problems and opportunities presented by

27  existing development trends; the effectiveness of current

28  comprehensive plan provisions; the potential to further the

29  state comprehensive plan, applicable strategic regional policy

30  plans, this part, and part I of chapter 380; and those factors

31  identified by s. 163.3177(10)(i). The applicable regional

 1  planning council shall conduct a scoping meeting with affected

 2  local governments and those agencies identified in s.

 3  163.3184(3)(a)(4) before execution of the agreement authorized

 4  by this section. The purpose of this meeting is to assist the

 5  state land planning agency and the local government in the

 6  identification of the relevant planning issues to be addressed

 7  and the data and resources available to assist in the

 8  preparation of subsequent plan amendments. The regional

 9  planning council shall make written recommendations to the

10  state land planning agency and affected local governments,

11  including whether an optional a sustainable sector plan would

12  be appropriate. The agreement must define the geographic area

13  to be subject to the sector plan, the planning issues that

14  will be emphasized, requirements for intergovernmental

15  coordination to address extrajurisdictional impacts,

16  supporting application materials including data and analysis,

17  and procedures for public participation. An agreement may

18  address previously adopted sector plans that are consistent

19  with the standards in this section. Before executing an

20  agreement under this subsection, the local government shall

21  hold a duly noticed public workshop to review and explain to

22  the public the optional sector planning process and the terms

23  and conditions of the proposed agreement. The local government

24  shall hold a duly noticed public hearing on whether to execute

25  the agreement. All meetings between the department and the

26  local government must be open to the public.

27         (3)  Optional sector planning encompasses two levels:

28  adoption under s. 163.3184 of a conceptual long-term buildout

29  overlay to the comprehensive plan, having no immediate effect

30  on the issuance of development orders or the applicability of

31  s. 380.06, and adoption under s. 163.3184 of detailed specific

 1  area plans that implement the conceptual long-term buildout

 2  overlay and authorize issuance of development orders, and

 3  within which s. 380.06 is waived. Until such time as a

 4  detailed specific area plan is adopted, the underlying future

 5  land use designations apply.

 6         (a)  In addition to the other requirements of this

 7  chapter, a conceptual long-term buildout overlay must include:

 8         1.  A long-range conceptual framework map that at a

 9  minimum identifies anticipated areas of urban, agricultural,

10  rural, and conservation land use.

11         2.  Identification of regionally significant public

12  facilities consistent with chapter 9J-2, Florida

13  Administrative Code, irrespective of local governmental

14  jurisdiction necessary to support buildout of the anticipated

15  future land uses.

16         3.  Identification of regionally significant natural

17  resources consistent with chapter 9J-2, Florida Administrative

18  Code.

19         4.  Principles and guidelines that address the urban

20  form and interrelationships of anticipated future land uses

21  and a discussion, at the applicant's option, of the extent, if

22  any, to which the plan will address restoring key ecosystems,

23  achieving a more clean, healthy environment, limiting urban

24  sprawl, protecting wildlife and natural areas, advancing the

25  efficient use of land and other resources, and creating

26  quality communities and jobs.

27         5.  Identification of general procedures to ensure

28  intergovernmental coordination to address extrajurisdictional

29  impacts from the long-range conceptual framework map.

30         (b)  In addition to the other requirements of this

 7  local circumstances if it is determined that the plan furthers

 8  the purposes of this part and part I of chapter 380.

 9         2.  Detailed identification and analysis of the

10  distribution, extent, and location of future land uses.

11         3.  Detailed identification of regionally significant

24  approved development within a detailed specific area plan

25  shall maintain its exemption from s. 380.06. However, any

26  development-of-regional-impact development order that is

27  vested from the detailed specific area plan may be enforced

28  under s. 380.11.

    Amendment No.     (for drafter's use only)





 1         166.231  Municipalities; public service tax.--

 2         (1)(a)  A municipality may levy a tax on the purchase

 3  of electricity, metered natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas

 4  either metered or bottled, manufactured gas either metered or

 5  bottled, and water service. Except for those municipalities to

 6  which paragraph (c) applies, the tax shall be levied only upon

 7  purchases within the municipality and shall not exceed 10

 8  percent of the payments received by the seller of the taxable

 9  item from the purchaser for the purchase of such service.

10  Municipalities imposing a tax on the purchase of cable

11  television service as of May 4, 1977, may continue to levy

12  such tax to the extent necessary to meet all obligations to or

13  for the benefit of holders of bonds or certificates which were

14  issued prior to May 4, 1977.  Purchase of electricity means

15  the purchase of electric power by a person who will consume it

16  within the municipality.

17         (b)  The tax imposed by paragraph (a) shall not be

18  applied against any fuel adjustment charge, and such charge

19  shall be separately stated on each bill. The term "fuel

20  adjustment charge" means all increases in the cost of utility

21  services to the ultimate consumer resulting from an increase

22  in the cost of fuel to the utility subsequent to October 1,

23  1973.

24         (c)  The tax imposed by paragraph (a) on water service

25  may be applied outside municipal boundaries to property

26  included in a development of regional impact approved pursuant

27  to s. 380.06, if agreed to in writing by the developer of such

28  property and the municipality prior to March 31, 2000. If a

29  tax levied pursuant to this paragraph is challenged, recovery,

30  if any, shall be limited to moneys paid into an escrow account

31  of the clerk of the court subsequent to such challenge.

12  developer with the development order.

13         2.  Shall establish compliance dates for the

14  development order, including a deadline for commencing

15  physical development and for compliance with conditions of

16  approval or phasing requirements, and shall include a

17  termination date that reasonably reflects the time required to

18  complete the development.

19         3.  Shall establish a date until which the local

20  government agrees that the approved development of regional

21  impact shall not be subject to downzoning, unit density

22  reduction, or intensity reduction, unless the local government

12  agency, the state land planning agency, and all affected

13  permit agencies in alternate years on the date specified in

14  the development order, unless the development order by its

15  terms requires more frequent monitoring.  If the annual report

16  is not received, the regional planning agency or the state

17  land planning agency shall notify the local government.  If

18  the local government does not receive the annual report or

19  receives notification that the regional planning agency or the

20  state land planning agency has not received the report, the

21  local government shall request in writing that the developer

22  submit the report within 30 days.  The failure to submit the

23  report after 30 days shall result in the temporary suspension

24  of the development order by the local government. If no

25  additional development pursuant to the development order has

26  occurred since the submission of the previous report, then a

27  letter from the developer stating that no development has

28  occurred will satisfy the requirement for a report.

29  Development orders which require annual reports may be amended

30  to require biennial reports at the option of the local

31  government.
