 2  amended to read:

 3         163.2523  Grant program.--An Urban Infill and

 4  Redevelopment Assistance Grant Program is created for local

 5  governments. A local government may allocate grant money to

 6  special districts, including community redevelopment agencies,

 7  and nonprofit community development organizations to implement

 8  projects consistent with an adopted urban infill and

 9  redevelopment plan or plan employed in lieu thereof. Thirty

10  percent of the general revenue appropriated for this program

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

12  governments for the development of an urban infill and

13  redevelopment plan, including community participation

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

15  appropriated for this program shall be available for

16  fifty/fifty matching grants for implementing urban infill and

17  redevelopment projects that further the objectives set forth

18  in the local government's adopted urban infill and

19  redevelopment plan or plan employed in lieu thereof. The

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

21  grants for implementing projects requiring an expenditure of

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

23  any of the allocations specified in this section does not

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

25  Community Affairs may transfer the unused balance to the

26  category having the highest dollar value of applications

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

28  of dollars allocated to outright grants for implementing

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

30  that provide employment opportunities to clients of the WAGES

 1  building and structure intensities.  The proposed

 2  distribution, location, and extent of the various categories

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

 4  which shall be supplemented by goals, policies, and measurable

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

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

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

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

 9  including the amount of land required to accommodate

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

11  character of undeveloped land; the availability of public

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

13  blighted areas and the elimination of nonconforming uses which

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

15  rural communities, the need for job creation, capital

16  investment, and economic development that will strengthen and

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

18  may designate areas for future planned development use

19  involving combinations of types of uses for which special

20  regulations may be necessary to ensure development in accord

21  with the principles and standards of the comprehensive plan

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

23  of land designated for future planned industrial use shall be

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

25  creation, capital investment, and the necessity to strengthen

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

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

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

29  possible future municipal incorporation. The land use maps or

 1  significant properties meriting protection.  The future land

 2  use element must clearly identify the land use categories in

 3  which public schools are an allowable use.  When delineating

 4  the land use categories in which public schools are an

 5  allowable use, a local government shall include in the

 6  categories sufficient land proximate to residential

 7  development to meet the projected needs for schools in

 8  coordination with public school boards and may establish

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

10  local government shall include lands contiguous to existing

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

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

13  All comprehensive plans must comply with the school siting

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

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

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

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

18  local comprehensive plan, except for plan amendments described

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

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

21  of identifying the land use categories in which public schools

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

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

24  future land use element shall include criteria which encourage

25  the location of schools proximate to urban residential areas

26  to the extent possible and shall require that the local

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

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

29  possible. For schools serving predominantly rural areas, an

30  agricultural land use category may be eligible for the

 2  Minimum Criteria for Review of Local Government Comprehensive

 3  Plans and Determination of Compliance of the Department of

 4  Community Affairs that will be used to determine compliance of

 5  local comprehensive plans.  The Legislature reserved unto

 6  itself the right to review chapter 9J-5, Florida

 7  Administrative Code, and to reject, modify, or take no action

 8  relative to this rule. Therefore, pursuant to subsection (9),

 9  the Legislature hereby has reviewed chapter 9J-5, Florida

10  Administrative Code, and expresses the following legislative

11  intent:

12         (i)  Due to the varying complexities, sizes, growth

13  rates, and other factors associated with local governments in

14  Florida, the department shall take into account the factors

15  delineated in rule 9J-5.002(2), Florida Administrative Code,

16  as it provides assistance to local governments and applies the

17  rule in specific situations with regard to the detail of the

18  data and analysis, and the content of the goals, objectives,

19  policies, and other graphic or textual standards required. If

20  a local government has in place a comprehensive plan found in

21  compliance, the department shall take into account as it

22  applies chapter 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code, whether a

23  plan amendment constitutes substantial progress over existing

24  provisions in the local comprehensive plan regarding

25  consistency with chapter 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code.

26  The provisions of this paragraph are not intended to allow the

27  department to waive or vary any of the requirements of law.

28         (11)(a)  The Legislature recognizes the need for

29  innovative planning and development strategies which will

30  address the anticipated demands of continued urbanization of

31  Florida's coastal and other environmentally sensitive areas,

 5  further recognizes the substantial advantages of innovative

 6  approaches to development which may better serve to protect

 7  environmentally sensitive areas, maintain the economic

 8  viability of agricultural and other predominantly rural land

12  government comprehensive plans and plan amendments adopted

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

14  process which allows for land use efficiencies within existing

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

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

17  other provisions of this part and the affected local

18  comprehensive plans, through the application of innovative and

19  flexible planning and development strategies and creative land

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

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

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

23  mixed-use development, and sector planning.

23  in the cost of litigation.  If a pleading, motion, or other

24  paper is signed in violation of these requirements, the court,

25  upon motion or its own initiative, shall impose upon the

26  person who signed it, a represented party, or both, an

 7         Section 11.  Section 163.3245, Florida Statutes, is

 8  amended to read:

 9         163.3245  Optional sector plans.--

10         (1)  In recognition of the benefits of conceptual

11  long-range planning for the buildout of an area, and detailed

12  planning for specific areas, as a demonstration project, the

13  requirements of s. 380.06 may be addressed as identified by

14  this section for up to five local governments or combinations

15  of local governments which adopt into the comprehensive plan

16  an optional sector plan in accordance with this section. This

17  section is intended to further the intent of s. 163.3177(11),

18  which supports innovative and flexible planning and

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

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

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

22  development of regional impact, while ensuring the adequate

23  mitigation of impacts to applicable regional resources and

24  facilities, including those within the jurisdiction of other

25  local governments, as would otherwise be provided. Optional

26  sector plans are intended for substantial geographic areas

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

28  governmental jurisdictions and are to emphasize urban form and

29  protection of regionally significant resources and facilities.

30  The state land planning agency may approve optional sector

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

                                  33

    Amendment No.     (for drafter's use only)





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

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

 3  optional sector plan is authorized by agreement between the

 4  state land planning agency and the applicable local

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

 6  be adopted through one or more comprehensive plan amendments

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

 8  authorized in an area of critical state concern.

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

10  agreement to authorize preparation of an optional sector plan

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

12  consideration of problems and opportunities presented by

13  existing development trends; the effectiveness of current

14  comprehensive plan provisions; the potential to further the

15  state comprehensive plan, applicable strategic regional policy

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

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

18  planning council shall conduct a scoping meeting with affected

19  local governments and those agencies identified in s.

20  163.3184(3)(a)(4) before execution of the agreement authorized

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

22  state land planning agency and the local government in the

23  identification of the relevant planning issues to be addressed

24  and the data and resources available to assist in the

25  preparation of subsequent plan amendments. The regional

26  planning council shall make written recommendations to the

27  state land planning agency and affected local governments,

28  including whether an optional a sustainable sector plan would

29  be appropriate. The agreement must define the geographic area

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

31  will be emphasized, requirements for intergovernmental

                                  34

    Amendment No.     (for drafter's use only)





 1  coordination to address extrajurisdictional impacts,

 2  supporting application materials including data and analysis,

 3  and procedures for public participation. An agreement may

 4  address previously adopted sector plans that are consistent

 5  with the standards in this section. Before executing an

 6  agreement under this subsection, the local government shall

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

 8  the public the optional sector planning process and the terms

 9  and conditions of the proposed agreement. The local government

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

11  the agreement. All meetings between the department and the

12  local government must be open to the public.

13         (3)  Optional sector planning encompasses two levels:

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

15  overlay to the comprehensive plan, having no immediate effect

16  on the issuance of development orders or the applicability of

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

18  area plans that implement the conceptual long-term buildout

19  overlay and authorize issuance of development orders, and

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

21  detailed specific area plan is adopted, the underlying future

22  land use designations apply.

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

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

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

26  minimum identifies anticipated areas of urban, agricultural,

27  rural, and conservation land use.

28         2.  Identification of regionally significant public

29  facilities consistent with chapter 9J-2, Florida

30  Administrative Code, irrespective of local governmental

31  jurisdiction necessary to support buildout of the anticipated

                                  35

 1  future land uses.

 2         3.  Identification of regionally significant natural

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

 4  Code.

 5         4.  Principles and guidelines that address the urban

 6  form and interrelationships of anticipated future land uses

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

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

 9  achieving a more clean, healthy environment, limiting urban

10  sprawl, protecting wildlife and natural areas, advancing the

11  efficient use of land and other resources, and creating

12  quality communities and jobs.

13         5.  Identification of general procedures to ensure

14  intergovernmental coordination to address extrajurisdictional

15  impacts from the long-range conceptual framework map.

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

17  chapter, including those in paragraph (a), the detailed

18  specific area plans must include:

19         1.  An area of adequate size to accommodate a level of

20  development which achieves a functional relationship between a

21  full range of land uses within the area and to encompass at

22  least 1,000 acres. The state land planning agency may approve

23  detailed specific area plans of less than 1,000 acres based on

24  local circumstances if it is determined that the plan furthers

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

26         2.  Detailed identification and analysis of the

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

28         3.  Detailed identification of regionally significant

29  public facilities, including public facilities outside the

30  jurisdiction of the host local government, anticipated impacts

31  of future land uses on those facilities, and required

 1  improvements to maintain adopted level of service standards

 2  consistent with chapter 9J-2, Florida Administrative Code.

 3         4.  Public facilities necessary for the short term,

 4  including developer contributions in a financially feasible

 5  5-year capital improvement schedule of the affected local

 6  government.

 7         5.  Detailed analysis and identification of specific

 8  measures to assure the protection of regionally significant

 9  natural resources and other important resources both within

10  and outside the host jurisdiction, including those regionally

11  significant resources identified in chapter 9J-2, Florida

12  Administrative Code.

13         6.  Principles and guidelines that address the urban

14  form and interrelationships of anticipated future land uses

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

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

17  achieving a more clean, healthy environment, limiting urban

18  sprawl, protecting wildlife and natural areas, advancing the

19  efficient use of land and other resources, and creating

20  quality communities and jobs.

21         7.  Identification of specific procedures to ensure

22  intergovernmental coordination to address extrajurisdictional

23  impacts of the detailed specific area plan.

24         (c)  This subsection may not be construed to prevent

25  preparation and approval of the optional sector plan and

26  detailed specific area plan concurrently or in the same

27  submission.

28         (4)  The host local government shall submit a

29  monitoring report to the state land planning agency and

30  applicable regional planning council on an annual basis after

31  adoption of a detailed specific area plan. The annual

 1  monitoring report must provide summarized information on

 2  development orders issued, development that has occurred,

 3  public facility improvements made, and public facility

 4  improvements anticipated over the upcoming 5 years.

 5         (5)  When a plan amendment adopting a detailed specific

 6  area plan has become effective under ss. 163.3184 and

 7  163.3189(2), the provisions of s. 380.06 do not apply to

 8  development within the geographic area of the detailed

 9  specific area plan. Should this section be repealed, any

10  approved development within a detailed specific area plan

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

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

13  vested from the detailed specific area plan may be enforced

14  under s. 380.11.

15         (a)  The local government adopting the detailed

16  specific area plan is primarily responsible for monitoring and

17  enforcing the detailed specific area plan. Local governments

18  shall not issue any permits or approvals or provide any

19  extensions of services to development that are not consistent

20  with the detailed specific sector area plan.

21         (b)  If the state land planning agency has reason to

22  believe that a violation of any detailed specific area plan,

23  or of any agreement entered into under this section, has

24  occurred or is about to occur, it may institute an

25  administrative or judicial proceeding to prevent, abate, or

26  control the conditions or activity creating the violation,

27  using the procedures in s. 380.11.

28         (c)  In instituting an administrative or judicial

29  proceeding involving an optional sector plan or detailed

30  specific area plan, including a proceeding pursuant to

31  paragraph (b), the complaining party shall comply with the

 9  can demonstrate that substantial changes in the conditions

10  underlying the approval of the development order have occurred

11  or the development order was based on substantially inaccurate

12  information provided by the developer or that the change is

13  clearly established by local government to be essential to the

14  public health, safety, or welfare.

15         4.  Shall specify the requirements for the biennial

16  annual report designated under subsection (18), including the

17  date of submission, parties to whom the report is submitted,

18  and contents of the report, based upon the rules adopted by

 1  termination or expiration date;

 2         2.  The proposed development is consistent with an

 3  abandonment of development order that has been issued in

 4  accordance with the provisions of subsection (26); or

 5         3.  The project has been determined to be an

 6  essentially built-out development of regional impact through

 7  an agreement executed by the developer, the state land

 8  planning agency, and the local government, in accordance with

 9  s. 380.032, which will establish the terms and conditions

10  under which the development may be continued.  If the project

11  is determined to be essentially built-out, development may

12  proceed pursuant to the s. 380.032 agreement after the

13  termination or expiration date contained in the development

14  order without further development-of-regional-impact review

15  subject to the local government comprehensive plan and land

16  development regulations or subject to a modified

17  development-of-regional-impact analysis.  As used in this

18  paragraph, an "essentially built-out" development of regional

19  impact means:

20         a.  The development is in compliance with all

21  applicable terms and conditions of the development order

22  except the built-out date; and

23         b.(I)  The amount of development that remains to be

24  built is less than the substantial deviation threshold

25  specified in paragraph (19)(b) for each individual land use

26  category, or, for a multiuse development, the sum total of all

27  unbuilt land uses as a percentage of the applicable

28  substantial deviation threshold is equal to or less than 150

29  100 percent; or

30         (II)  The state land planning agency and the local

31  government have agreed in writing that the amount of

 1  development to be built does not create the likelihood of any

 2  additional regional impact not previously reviewed.

 3         (18)  BIENNIAL ANNUAL REPORTS.--The developer shall

 4  submit a biennial an annual report on the development of

 5  regional impact to the local government, the regional planning

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

 7  permit agencies in alternate years on the date specified in

 8  the development order, unless the development order by its

 9  terms requires more frequent monitoring.  If the annual report

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

11  land planning agency shall notify the local government.  If

12  the local government does not receive the annual report or

13  receives notification that the regional planning agency or the

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

15  local government shall request in writing that the developer

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

17  report after 30 days shall result in the temporary suspension

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

19  additional development pursuant to the development order has

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

21  letter from the developer stating that no development has

22  occurred will satisfy the requirement for a report.

23  Development orders which require annual reports may be amended

24  to require biennial reports at the option of the local

25  government.

26         (19)  SUBSTANTIAL DEVIATIONS.--

27         (a)  Any proposed change to a previously approved

28  development which creates a reasonable likelihood of

29  additional regional impact, or any type of regional impact

30  created by the change not previously reviewed by the regional

31  planning agency, shall constitute a substantial deviation and

    Amendment No.     (for drafter's use only)





 1  shall cause the development to be subject to further

 2  development-of-regional-impact review. There are a variety of

 3  reasons why a developer may wish to propose changes to an

 4  approved development of regional impact, including changed

 5  market conditions.  The procedures set forth in this

 6  subsection are for that purpose.

 7         (b)  Any proposed change to a previously approved

 8  development of regional impact or development order condition

 9  which, either individually or cumulatively with other changes,

10  exceeds any of the following criteria shall constitute a

11  substantial deviation and shall cause the development to be

12  subject to further development-of-regional-impact review

13  without the necessity for a finding of same by the local

14  government:

15         1.  An increase in the number of parking spaces at an

16  attraction or recreational facility by 5 percent or 300

17  spaces, whichever is greater, or an increase in the number of

18  spectators that may be accommodated at such a facility by 5

19  percent or 1,000 spectators, whichever is greater.

20         2.  A new runway, a new terminal facility, a 25-percent

21  lengthening of an existing runway, or a 25-percent increase in

22  the number of gates of an existing terminal, but only if the

23  increase adds at least three additional gates.  However, if an

24  airport is located in two counties, a 10-percent lengthening

25  of an existing runway or a 20-percent increase in the number

26  of gates of an existing terminal is the applicable criteria.

27         3.  An increase in the number of hospital beds by 5

28  percent or 60 beds, whichever is greater.

29         4.  An increase in industrial development area by 5

30  percent or 32 acres, whichever is greater.

31         5.  An increase in the average annual acreage mined by

                                  44

 2  the average daily water consumption by a mining operation by 5

 3  percent or 300,000 gallons, whichever is greater.  An increase

 4  in the size of the mine by 5 percent or 750 acres, whichever

 5  is less.

 6         6.  An increase in land area for office development by

 7  5 percent or 6 acres, whichever is greater, or an increase of

 8  gross floor area of office development by 5 percent or 60,000

 9  gross square feet, whichever is greater.

10         7.  An increase in the storage capacity for chemical or

11  petroleum storage facilities by 5 percent, 20,000 barrels, or

12  7 million pounds, whichever is greater.

14  storage for 20 watercraft, dry storage for 30 watercraft, or

15  wet wet/dry storage for 30 60 watercraft in an area identified

16  in the state marina siting plan as an appropriate site for

17  additional waterport development or a 5-percent increase in

18  watercraft storage capacity, whichever is greater.

19         9.  An increase in the number of dwelling units by 5

20  percent or 50 dwelling units, whichever is greater.

21         10.  An increase in commercial development by 6 acres

22  of land area or by 50,000 square feet of gross floor area, or

23  of parking spaces provided for customers for 300 cars or a

24  5-percent increase of any of these, whichever is greater.

25         11.  An increase in hotel or motel facility units by 5

26  percent or 75 units, whichever is greater.

 4  percentage of any decrease in the amount of open space shall

 5  be treated as an increase for purposes of determining when 150

 6  100 percent has been reached or exceeded.

 7         15.  A 15-percent increase in the number of external

 8  vehicle trips generated by the development above that which

 9  was projected during the original

10  development-of-regional-impact review.

11         16.  Any change which would result in development of

12  any area which was specifically set aside in the application

13  for development approval or in the development order for

14  preservation or special protection of endangered or threatened

15  plants or animals designated as endangered, threatened, or

 6  development-of-regional-impact review.  An extension of the

 7  date of buildout, or any phase thereof, of 5 years or more but

 8  less than 7 years shall be presumed not to create a

 9  substantial deviation. These presumptions may be rebutted by

10  clear and convincing evidence at the public hearing held by

    Amendment No.     (for drafter's use only)





 1  increases and decreases of at least two of the uses within an

 2  authorized multiuse development of regional impact which was

 3  originally approved with three or more uses specified in s.

 4  380.0651(3)(c), (d), (f), and (g) and residential use.

 5         (f)1.  The state land planning agency shall establish

 6  by rule standard forms for submittal of proposed changes to a

 7  previously approved development of regional impact which may

 8  require further development-of-regional-impact review.  At a

 9  minimum, the standard form shall require the developer to

10  provide the precise language that the developer proposes to

11  delete or add as an amendment to the development order.

12         2.  The developer shall submit, simultaneously, to the

13  local government, the regional planning agency, and the state

14  land planning agency the request for approval of a proposed

15  change. Those changes described in subparagraph (e)2. do not

16  need to be submitted to the state land planning agency;

17  however, if the proposed change does not qualify under

18  subparagraph (e)2., the local government or the regional

19  planning agency shall request that the state land planning

20  agency review the proposed change.

21         3.  No sooner than 30 days but no later than 45 days

22  after submittal by the developer to the local government, the

23  state land planning agency, and the appropriate regional

24  planning agency, the local government shall give 15 days'

25  notice and schedule a public hearing to consider the change

26  that the developer asserts does not create a substantial

27  deviation. This public hearing shall be held within 90 days

28  after submittal of the proposed changes, unless that time is

29  extended by the developer.

30         4.  The appropriate regional planning agency or the

31  state land planning agency shall review the proposed change

    Amendment No.     (for drafter's use only)





 1  and, no later than 45 days after submittal by the developer of

 2  the proposed change, unless that time is extended by the

 3  developer, and prior to the public hearing at which the

 4  proposed change is to be considered, shall advise the local

 5  government in writing whether it objects to the proposed

 6  change, shall specify the reasons for its objection, if any,

 7  and shall provide a copy to the developer.  A change which is

 8  subject to the substantial deviation criteria specified in

 9  sub-subparagraph (e)5.c. shall not be subject to this

10  requirement.

11         5.  At the public hearing, the local government shall

12  determine whether the proposed change requires further

13  development-of-regional-impact review.  The provisions of

14  paragraphs (a) and (e), the thresholds set forth in paragraph

15  (b), and the presumptions set forth in paragraphs (c) and (d)

16  and subparagraphs (e)1. and 3. shall be applicable in

17  determining whether further development-of-regional-impact

18  review is required.

19         6.  If the local government determines that the

20  proposed change does not require further

21  development-of-regional-impact review and is otherwise

22  approved, or if the proposed change is not subject to a

23  hearing and determination pursuant to subparagraphs 3. and 5.

24  and is otherwise approved, the local government shall issue an

25  amendment to the development order incorporating the approved

26  change and conditions of approval relating to the change. The

27  decision of the local government to approve, with or without

28  conditions, or to deny the proposed change that the developer

29  asserts does not require further review shall be subject to

30  the appeal provisions of s. 380.07. However, the state land

31  planning agency may not appeal the local government decision

 1  if it did not comply with subparagraph 4., except for a change

 2  to a development order made pursuant to subparagraph (e)2., if

 3  the approved change is not consistent with this and other

 4  provisions of this section. The state land planning agency may

 5  not appeal a change to a development order made pursuant to

 6  subparagraph (e)2. for developments of regional impact

 7  approved after January 1, 1980, unless the change would result

 8  in a significant impact to a regionally significant

 9  archaeological, historical, or natural resource not previously

10  identified in the original development-of-regional-impact

11  review.

12         (g)  If a proposed change requires further

13  development-of-regional-impact review pursuant to this

14  section, the review shall be conducted subject to the

15  following additional conditions:

16         1.  The development-of-regional-impact review conducted

17  by the appropriate regional planning agency shall address only

18  those issues raised by the proposed change except as provided

19  in subparagraph 2.

20         2.  The regional planning agency shall consider, and

21  the local government shall determine whether to approve,

22  approve with conditions, or deny the proposed change as it

23  relates to the entire development.  If the local government

24  determines that the proposed change, as it relates to the

25  entire development, is unacceptable, the local government

26  shall deny the change.

27         3.  If the local government determines that the

28  proposed change, as it relates to the entire development,

29  should be approved, any new conditions in the amendment to the

30  development order issued by the local government shall address

31  only those issues raised by the proposed change.

    Amendment No.     (for drafter's use only)





 1         4.  Development within the previously approved

 2  development of regional impact may continue, as approved,

 3  during the development-of-regional-impact review in those

 4  portions of the development which are not affected by the

 5  proposed change.

 6         (h)  When further development-of-regional-impact review

 7  is required because a substantial deviation has been

 8  determined or admitted by the developer, the amendment to the

 9  development order issued by the local government shall be

10  consistent with the requirements of subsection (15) and shall

11  be subject to the hearing and appeal provisions of s. 380.07.

12  The state land planning agency or the appropriate regional

13  planning agency need not participate at the local hearing in

14  order to appeal a local government development order issued

15  pursuant to this paragraph.

16         (24)  STATUTORY EXEMPTIONS.--

17         (i)  Any proposed facility for the storage of any

18  petroleum product is exempt from the provisions of this

19  section, if such facility is consistent with a local

20  comprehensive plan that is in compliance with s. 163.3177 or

21  is consistent with a comprehensive port master plan that is in

22  compliance with s. 163.3178.

23         (j)  Any development located within a detailed specific

24  area plan adopted pursuant to s. 163.3245 which is consistent

25  with the detailed specific area plan is exempt from the

26  provisions of this section. Should s. 163.3245 be repealed,

27  any approved development within a detailed specific area plan

28  shall maintain this exemption. However, any

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

30  vested from the detailed specific area plan may be enforced

31  under s. 380.11.

18

19  In addition to the foregoing, for projects for which no

20  environmental resource permit or sovereign submerged land

21  lease is required, the Department of Environmental Protection

22  must determine in writing that a proposed marina in excess of

23  10 slips or storage spaces or a combination of the two is

24  located so that it will not adversely impact Outstanding

25  Florida Waters or Class II waters and will not contribute boat

26  traffic in a manner that will have an adverse impact on an

27  area known to be, or likely to be, frequented by manatees. If

28  the Department of Environmental Protection fails to issue its

29  determination within 45 days of receipt of a formal written

30  request, it has waived its authority to make such

31  determination. The Department of Environmental Protection

18         b.  Consistent with the applicable adopted local

19  government comprehensive plan.

20         4.  A marina or proposed marina expansion within a

 1         3.  Any proposed marina development with both wet and

 2  dry mooring or storage used exclusively for sport, pleasure,

 3  or commercial fishing, where the sum of percentages of the
