13         
14          Amendment (with title amendment)
15          Between line(s) 75 &76, and insert:
16          Section 2. Paragraph (c) is added to subsection (1) of
17    section 163.3174, Florida Statutes, to read:
18          163.3174 Local planning agency.--
19          (1) The governing body of each local government,
20    individually or in combination as provided in s. 163.3171, shall
21    designate and by ordinance establish a "local planning agency,"
22    unless the agency is otherwise established by law.
23    Notwithstanding any special act to the contrary, all local
24    planning agencies or equivalent agencies that first review
25    rezoning and comprehensive plan amendments in each municipality
26    and county shall include a representative of the school district
27    appointed by the school board as a nonvoting member of the local
28    planning agency or equivalent agency to attend those meetings at
29    which the agency considers comprehensive plan amendments and
30    rezonings that would, if approved, increase residential density
31    on the property that is the subject of the application. However,
32    this subsection does not prevent the governing body of the local
33    government from granting voting status to the school board
34    member. The governing body may designate itself as the local
35    planning agency pursuant to this subsection with the addition of
36    a nonvoting school board representative. The governing body
37    shall notify the state land planning agency of the establishment
38    of its local planning agency. All local planning agencies shall
39    provide opportunities for involvement by applicable community
40    college boards, which may be accomplished by formal
41    representation, membership on technical advisory committees, or
42    other appropriate means. The local planning agency shall prepare
43    the comprehensive plan or plan amendment after hearings to be
44    held after public notice and shall make recommendations to the
45    governing body regarding the adoption or amendment of the plan.
46    The agency may be a local planning commission, the planning
47    department of the local government, or other instrumentality,
48    including a countywide planning entity established by special
49    act or a council of local government officials created pursuant
50    to s. 163.02, provided the composition of the council is fairly
51    representative of all the governing bodies in the county or
52    planning area; however:
53          (c) The Legislature recognizes that many larger
54    municipalities within charter counties have the technical
55    planning staff to effectively implement and enforce a
56    comprehensive plan and develop and achieve a community vision
57    within their boundaries. Notwithstanding any law to the
58    contrary, each municipality with a population greater than
59    10,000, located in a charter county not operating under a home
60    rule charter adopted pursuant to ss. 10, 11, and 24, Art. VIII
61    of the State Constitution of 1885, as preserved by s. 6(e), Art.
62    VIII of the State Constitution of 1968 with a population greater
63    than 1,500,000 and more than 25 municipalities, shall have
64    exclusive planning authority, including, but not limited to,
65    development order approval and zoning and comprehensive planning
66    for the area under its municipal jurisdiction. However, a
67    municipality located in such a county may delegate planning
68    authority for the area under its municipal jurisdiction to the
69    county if the governing body of the municipality adopts a
70    resolution approving the delegation to the county. A charter
71    county, as described in this paragraph, may provide written
72    comments on a proposed land use change within a municipality’s
73    jurisdiction and provide planning assistance if requested by the
74    municipality.

80    municipalities shall have exclusive planning authority for
81    the area under its municipal jurisdiction; providing that
82    such a municipality may delegate planning authority to the
83    county in which located if the governing body of the
84    municipality adopts a resolution approving the delegation
85    to the county; providing that the county may provide
86    written comments on a proposed land use change within a
87    municipality’s jurisdiction and provide planning
88    assistance if requested by the municipality; providing for
89    delegation of such authority; providing an effective date.
