1Representative Davis, M. offered the following:
2
3     Amendment (with title amendment)
4     Remove lines 118-616 and insert:
5to the provisions of paragraph (11)(d), as overlays on the
6future land use map. Each future land use category must be
7defined in terms of uses included, and must include standards to
8be followed in the control and distribution of population
9densities and building and structure intensities. The proposed
10distribution, location, and extent of the various categories of
11land use shall be shown on a land use map or map series which
12shall be supplemented by goals, policies, and measurable
13objectives. The future land use plan shall be based upon
14surveys, studies, and data regarding the area, including the
15amount of land required to accommodate anticipated growth; the
16projected population of the area; the character of undeveloped
17land; the availability of public services; the need for
18redevelopment, including the renewal of blighted areas and the
19elimination of nonconforming uses which are inconsistent with
20the character of the community; and, in rural communities, the
21need for job creation, capital investment, and economic
22development that will strengthen and diversify the community's
23economy. The future land use plan may designate areas for future
24planned development use involving combinations of types of uses
25for which special regulations may be necessary to ensure
26development in accord with the principles and standards of the
27comprehensive plan and this act. In addition, for rural
28communities, the amount of land designated for future planned
29industrial use shall be based upon surveys and studies that
30reflect the need for job creation, capital investment, and the
31necessity to strengthen and diversify the local economies, and
32shall not be limited solely by the projected population of the
33rural community. The future land use plan of a county may also
34designate areas for possible future municipal incorporation. The
35land use maps or map series shall generally identify and depict
36historic district boundaries and shall designate historically
37significant properties meriting protection. The future land use
38element must clearly identify the land use categories in which
39public schools are an allowable use. When delineating the land
40use categories in which public schools are an allowable use, a
41local government shall include in the categories sufficient land
42proximate to residential development to meet the projected needs
43for schools in coordination with public school boards and may
44establish differing criteria for schools of different type or
45size. Each local government shall include lands contiguous to
46existing school sites, to the maximum extent possible, within
47the land use categories in which public schools are an allowable
48use. All comprehensive plans must comply with the school siting
49requirements of this paragraph no later than October 1, 1999.
50The failure by a local government to comply with these school
51siting requirements by October 1, 1999, will result in the
52prohibition of the local government's ability to amend the local
53comprehensive plan, except for plan amendments described in s.
54163.3187(1)(b), until the school siting requirements are met.
55Amendments proposed by a local government for purposes of
56identifying the land use categories in which public schools are
57an allowable use or for adopting or amending the school-siting
58maps pursuant to s. 163.31776(3) are exempt from the limitation
59on the frequency of plan amendments contained in s. 163.3187.
60The future land use element shall include criteria that
61encourage the location of schools proximate to urban residential
62areas to the extent possible and shall require that the local
63government seek to collocate public facilities, such as parks,
64libraries, and community centers, with schools to the extent
65possible and to encourage the use of elementary schools as focal
66points for neighborhoods. For schools serving predominantly
67rural counties, defined as a county with a population of 100,000
68or fewer, an agricultural land use category shall be eligible
69for the location of public school facilities if the local
70comprehensive plan contains school siting criteria and the
71location is consistent with such criteria.
72     (c)  A general sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage,
73potable water, and natural groundwater aquifer recharge element
74correlated to principles and guidelines for future land use,
75indicating ways to provide for future potable water, drainage,
76sanitary sewer, solid waste, and aquifer recharge protection
77requirements for the area. The element may be a detailed
78engineering plan including a topographic map depicting areas of
79prime groundwater recharge. The element shall describe the
80problems and needs and the general facilities that will be
81required for solution of the problems and needs. The element
82shall also include a topographic map depicting any areas adopted
83by a regional water management district as prime groundwater
84recharge areas for the Floridan or Biscayne aquifers, pursuant
85to s. 373.0395. These areas shall be given special consideration
86when the local government is engaged in zoning or considering
87future land use for said designated areas. For areas served by
88septic tanks, soil surveys shall be provided which indicate the
89suitability of soils for septic tanks. By December 1, 2006
90January 1, 2005, or the Evaluation and Appraisal Report adoption
91deadline established for the local government pursuant to s.
92163.3191(a), whichever date occurs first, the element must
93consider the appropriate water management district's regional
94water supply plan approved pursuant to s. 373.0361. The element
95must include a work plan, covering at least a 10-year planning
96period, for building water supply facilities that are identified
97in the element as necessary to serve existing and new
98development and for which the local government is responsible.
99The work plan shall be updated, at a minimum, every 5 years
100within 12 months after the approval of the revised regional
101water supply plan. Amendments to incorporate the whole plan do
102not count toward the limitations on frequency of adoption of
103amendments to the comprehensive plan.
104     (11)(a)  The Legislature recognizes the need for innovative
105planning and development strategies which will address the
106anticipated demands of continued urbanization of Florida's
107coastal and other environmentally sensitive areas, and which
108will accommodate the development of less populated regions of
109the state which seek economic development and which have
110suitable land and water resources to accommodate growth in an
111environmentally acceptable manner. The Legislature further
112recognizes the substantial advantages of innovative approaches
113to development which may better serve to protect environmentally
114sensitive areas, maintain the economic viability of agricultural
115and other predominantly rural land uses, and provide for the
116cost-efficient delivery of public facilities and services.
117     (b)  It is the intent of the Legislature that the local
118government comprehensive plans and plan amendments adopted
119pursuant to the provisions of this part provide for a planning
120process which allows for land use efficiencies within existing
121urban areas and which also allows for the conversion of rural
122lands to other uses, where appropriate and consistent with the
123other provisions of this part and the affected local
124comprehensive plans, through the application of innovative and
125flexible planning and development strategies and creative land
126use planning techniques, which may include, but not be limited
127to, urban villages, new towns, satellite communities, area-based
128allocations, clustering and open space provisions, mixed-use
129development, and sector planning.
130     (c)  It is the further intent of the Legislature that local
131government comprehensive plans and implementing land development
132regulations shall provide strategies which maximize the use of
133existing facilities and services through redevelopment, urban
134infill development, and other strategies for urban
135revitalization.
136     (d)1.  The department, in cooperation with the Department
137of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Department of
138Environmental Protection, water management districts, and
139regional planning councils, shall provide assistance to local
140governments in the implementation of this paragraph and rule 9J-
1415.006(5)(l), Florida Administrative Code. Implementation of
142those provisions shall include a process by which the department
143may authorize up to five local governments to designate all or
144portions of lands classified in the future land use element as
145predominantly agricultural, rural, open, open-rural, or a
146substantively equivalent land use, as a rural land stewardship
147area within which planning and economic incentives are applied
148to encourage the implementation of innovative and flexible
149planning and development strategies and creative land use
150planning techniques, including those contained herein and in
151rule 9J-5.006(5)(l), Florida Administrative Code. Assistance may
152include, but is not limited to:
153     a.  Assistance from the Department of Environmental
154Protection and water management districts in creating the
155geographic information systems land cover database and aerial
156photogrammetry needed to prepare for a rural land stewardship
157area.
158     b.  Support for local government implementation of rural
159land stewardship concepts by providing information and
160assistance to local governments regarding land acquisition
161programs that may be used by the local governments or landowners
162to leverage the protection of greater acreage and maximize the
163effectiveness of rural land stewardship areas.
164     c.  Expansion of the role of the Department of Community
165Affairs as a resource agency to facilitate establishment of
166rural land stewardship areas in smaller rural counties that do
167not have the staff or planning budgets to create a rural land
168stewardship area.
169     2.  The department shall encourage participation by local
170governments of different sizes and rural characteristics in
171establishing and implementing rural land stewardship areas. It
172is the intent of the Legislature that rural land stewardship
173areas be used to further the following broad principles of rural
174sustainability: restoration and maintenance of the economic
175value of rural land; control of urban sprawl; identification and
176protection of ecosystems, habitats, and natural resources;
177promotion of rural economic activity; maintenance of the
178viability of Florida's agricultural economy; and protection of
179the character of rural areas of Florida. Rural land stewardship
180areas may be multicounty in order to encourage coordinated
181regional stewardship planning.
182     3.  A local government, in conjunction with a regional
183planning council, a stakeholder organization of private land
184owners, or another local government, shall notify may apply to
185the department in writing of its intent requesting consideration
186for authorization to designate a rural land stewardship area and
187shall describe its reasons for applying for the authorization
188with supporting documentation regarding its compliance with
189criteria set forth in this section.
190     4.  In selecting a local government, the department shall,
191by written agreement:
192     a.  Ensure that the local government has expressed its
193intent to designate a rural land stewardship area pursuant to
194the provisions of this subsection and clarify that the rural
195land stewardship area is intended.
196     b.  Ensure that the local government has the financial and
197administrative capabilities to implement a rural land
198stewardship area.
199     5.  The written notification agreement shall describe
200include the basis for the designation, authorization and provide
201criteria for evaluating the success of the authorization
202including the extent to which the rural land stewardship area
203enhances rural land values; controls control urban sprawl;
204provides necessary open space for agriculture and protection of
205the natural environment; promotes rural economic activity; and
206maintains rural character and the economic viability of
207agriculture. The department may terminate the agreement at any
208time if it determines that the local government is not meeting
209the terms of the agreement.
210     4.6.  A rural land stewardship area shall be not less than
21110,000 50,000 acres, and shall not exceed 250,000 acres in size,
212shall be located outside of municipalities and established urban
213growth boundaries, and shall be designated by plan amendment.
214The plan amendment designating a rural land stewardship area
215shall be subject to review by the Department of Community
216Affairs pursuant to s. 163.3184 and shall provide for the
217following:
218     a.  Criteria for the designation of receiving areas within
219rural land stewardship areas in which innovative planning and
220development strategies may be applied. Criteria shall at a
221minimum provide for the following: adequacy of suitable land to
222accommodate development so as to avoid conflict with
223environmentally sensitive areas, resources, and habitats;
224compatibility between and transition from higher density uses to
225lower intensity rural uses; the establishment of receiving area
226service boundaries which provide for a separation between
227receiving areas and other land uses within the rural land
228stewardship area through limitations on the extension of
229services; and connection of receiving areas with the rest of the
230rural land stewardship area using rural design and rural road
231corridors.
232     b.  Goals, objectives, and policies setting forth the
233innovative planning and development strategies to be applied
234within rural land stewardship areas pursuant to the provisions
235of this section.
236     c.  A process for the implementation of innovative planning
237and development strategies within the rural land stewardship
238area, including those described in this subsection and rule 9J-
2395.006(5)(l), Florida Administrative Code, which provide for a
240functional mix of land uses and which are applied through the
241adoption by the local government of zoning and land development
242regulations applicable to the rural land stewardship area.
243     d.  A process which encourages visioning pursuant to s.
244163.3167(11) to ensure that innovative planning and development
245strategies comply with the provisions of this section.
246     e.  The control of sprawl through the use of innovative
247strategies and creative land use techniques consistent with the
248provisions of this subsection and rule 9J-5.006(5)(l), Florida
249Administrative Code.
250     5.7.  A receiving area shall be designated by the adoption
251of a land development regulation. Prior to the designation of a
252receiving area, the local government shall provide the
253Department of Community Affairs a period of 30 days in which to
254review a proposed receiving area for consistency with the rural
255land stewardship area plan amendment and to provide comments to
256the local government.
257     6.8.  Upon the adoption of a plan amendment creating a
258rural land stewardship area, the local government shall, by
259ordinance, assign to the area a certain number of credits, to be
260known as "transferable rural land use credits," which shall not
261constitute a right to develop land, nor increase density of
262land, except as provided by this section. The total amount of
263transferable rural land use credits assigned to the rural land
264stewardship area must correspond to the 25-year or greater
265projected population of the rural land stewardship area.
266Transferable rural land use credits are subject to the following
267limitations:
268     a.  Transferable rural land use credits may only exist
269within a rural land stewardship area.
270     b.  Transferable rural land use credits may only be used on
271lands designated as receiving areas and then solely for the
272purpose of implementing innovative planning and development
273strategies and creative land use planning techniques adopted by
274the local government pursuant to this section.
275     c.  Transferable rural land use credits assigned to a
276parcel of land within a rural land stewardship area shall cease
277to exist if the parcel of land is removed from the rural land
278stewardship area by plan amendment.
279     d.  Neither the creation of the rural land stewardship area
280by plan amendment nor the assignment of transferable rural land
281use credits by the local government shall operate to displace
282the underlying density of land uses assigned to a parcel of land
283within the rural land stewardship area; however, if transferable
284rural land use credits are transferred from a parcel for use
285within a designated receiving area, the underlying density
286assigned to the parcel of land shall cease to exist.
287     e.  The underlying density on each parcel of land located
288within a rural land stewardship area shall not be increased or
289decreased by the local government, except as a result of the
290conveyance or use of transferable rural land use credits, as
291long as the parcel remains within the rural land stewardship
292area.
293     f.  Transferable rural land use credits shall cease to
294exist on a parcel of land where the underlying density assigned
295to the parcel of land is utilized.
296     g.  An increase in the density of use on a parcel of land
297located within a designated receiving area may occur only
298through the assignment or use of transferable rural land use
299credits and shall not require a plan amendment.
300     h.  A change in the density of land use on parcels located
301within receiving areas shall be specified in a development order
302which reflects the total number of transferable rural land use
303credits assigned to the parcel of land and the infrastructure
304and support services necessary to provide for a functional mix
305of land uses corresponding to the plan of development.
306     i.  Land within a rural land stewardship area may be
307removed from the rural land stewardship area through a plan
308amendment.
309     j.  Transferable rural land use credits may be assigned at
310different ratios of credits per acre according to the natural
311resource or other beneficial use characteristics of the land and
312according to the land use remaining following the transfer of
313credits, with the highest number of credits per acre assigned to
314the most preserve environmentally valuable land and a lesser
315number of credits to be assigned to open space and agricultural
316land.
317     k.  The use or conveyance of transferable rural land use
318credits must be recorded in the public records of the county in
319which the property is located as a covenant or restrictive
320easement running with the land in favor of the county and either
321the Department of Environmental Protection, Department of
322Agriculture and Consumer Services, a water management district,
323or a recognized statewide land trust.
324     7.9.  Owners of land within rural land stewardship areas
325should be provided incentives to enter into rural land
326stewardship agreements, pursuant to existing law and rules
327adopted thereto, with state agencies, water management
328districts, and local governments to achieve mutually agreed upon
329conservation objectives. Such incentives may include, but not be
330limited to, the following:
331     a.  Opportunity to accumulate transferable mitigation
332credits.
333     b.  Extended permit agreements.
334     c.  Opportunities for recreational leases and ecotourism.
335     d.  Payment for specified land management services on
336publicly owned land, or property under covenant or restricted
337easement in favor of a public entity.
338     e.  Option agreements for sale to public entities or
339private land conservation entities government, in either fee or
340easement, upon achievement of conservation objectives.
341     8.10.  The department shall report to the Legislature on an
342annual basis on the results of implementation of rural land
343stewardship areas authorized by the department, including
344successes and failures in achieving the intent of the
345Legislature as expressed in this paragraph. It is further the
346intent of the Legislature that the success of authorized rural
347land stewardship areas be substantiated before implementation
348occurs on a statewide basis.
349     (e)  The Legislature finds that mixed-use, high-density
350development is appropriate for urban infill and redevelopment
351areas. Mixed-use projects accommodate a variety of uses,
352including residential and commercial, and usually at higher
353densities that promote pedestrian-friendly, sustainable
354communities. The Legislature recognizes that mixed-use, high-
355density development improves the quality of life for residents
356and businesses in urban areas. The Legislature finds that mixed-
357use, high-density redevelopment and infill benefits residents by
358creating a livable community with alternative modes of
359transportation. Furthermore, the Legislature finds that local
360zoning ordinances often discourage mixed-use, high-density
361development in areas that are appropriate for urban infill and
362redevelopment. The Legislature intends to discourage single-use
363zoning in urban areas which often leads to lower-density, land-
364intensive development outside an urban service area. Therefore,
365the Department of Community Affairs shall provide technical
366assistance to local governments in order to encourage mixed-use,
367high-density urban infill, and redevelopment projects.
368     (f)  The Legislature finds that a program for the transfer
369of development rights is a useful tool to preserve historic
370buildings and create public open spaces in urban areas. A
371program for the transfer of development rights allows the
372transfer of density credits from historic properties and public
373open spaces to areas designated for high-density development.
374The Legislature recognizes that high-density development is
375integral to the success of many urban infill and redevelopment
376projects. The Legislature intends to encourage high-density
377urban infill and redevelopment while preserving historic
378structures and open spaces. Therefore, the Department of
379Community Affairs shall provide technical assistance to local
380governments in order to promote the transfer of development
381rights within urban areas for high-density infill and
382redevelopment projects.
383     (g)(e)  The implementation of this subsection shall be
384subject to the provisions of this chapter, chapters 186 and 187,
385and applicable agency rules.
386     (h)(f)  The department may adopt rules necessary to
387implement the provisions of this subsection.
388     Section 4.  Paragraph (m) is added to subsection (1) of
389section 163.3187, Florida Statutes, to read:
390     163.3187  Amendment of adopted comprehensive plan.--
391     (1)  Amendments to comprehensive plans adopted pursuant to
392this part may be made not more than two times during any
393calendar year, except:
394     (m)  Any local government comprehensive plan amendment
395establishing or implementing a rural land stewardship area
396pursuant to s. 163.3177(11)(d).
397     Section 5.  Subsection (3) of section 288.107, Florida
398Statutes, is amended to read:
399     288.107  Brownfield redevelopment bonus refunds.--
400     (3)  CRITERIA.--The minimum criteria for participation in
401the brownfield redevelopment bonus refund are:
402     (a)  The creation of at least 5 10 new full-time permanent
403jobs. Such jobs shall not include construction or site
404rehabilitation jobs associated with the implementation of a
405brownfield site agreement as described in s. 376.80(5).
406     (b)  The completion of a fixed capital investment of at
407least $2 million in mixed-use business activities, including
408multiunit housing, commercial, retail, and industrial in
409brownfield areas, by an eligible business applying for a refund
410under paragraph (2)(b) which provides benefits to its employees.
411     (c)  That the designation as a brownfield will diversify
412and strengthen the economy of the area surrounding the site.
413     (d)  That the designation as a brownfield will promote
414capital investment in the area beyond that contemplated for the
415rehabilitation of the site.
416     Section 6.  Subsection (1) of section 376.86, Florida
417Statutes, is amended to read:
418     376.86  Brownfield Areas Loan Guarantee Program.--
419     (1)  The Brownfield Areas Loan Guarantee Council is created
420to review and approve or deny by a majority vote of its
421membership, the situations and circumstances for participation
422in partnerships by agreements with local governments, financial
423institutions, and others associated with the redevelopment of
424brownfield areas pursuant to the Brownfields Redevelopment Act
425for a limited state guaranty of up to 5 years of loan guarantees
426or loan loss reserves issued pursuant to law. The limited state
427loan guaranty applies only to 50 10 percent of the primary
428lenders loans for redevelopment projects in brownfield areas. A
429limited state guaranty of private loans or a loan loss reserve
430is authorized for lenders licensed to operate in the state upon
431a determination by the council that such an arrangement would be
432in the public interest and the likelihood of the success of the
433loan is great.
434     Section 7.  Accessory dwelling units.--
435     (1)  The Legislature finds that the median price of homes
436in this state has increased steadily over the last decade and at
437a greater rate of increase than the median income in many urban
438areas in other states. The Legislature finds that the cost of
439rental housing has also increased steadily and the cost often
440exceeds an amount that is affordable to very-low-income, low-
441income, or moderate-income persons and has resulted in a
442critical shortage of affordable rentals in many urban areas in
443the state. This shortage of affordable rentals constitutes a
444threat to the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of
445the state. Therefore, the Legislature finds that it serves an
446important public purpose to encourage the permitting of
447accessory dwelling units in single-family residential areas in
448order to increase the availability of affordable rentals for
449very-low-income, low-income, or moderate-income persons.
450     (2)  As used in this section, the term:
451     (a)  "Accessory dwelling unit" means an ancillary or
452secondary living unit that has a separate kitchen, bathroom, and
453sleeping area, existing either within the same structure, or on
454the same lot, as the primary dwelling unit.
455     (b)  "Affordable rental" means that monthly rent and
456utilities do not exceed 30 percent of that amount which
457represents the percentage of the median adjusted gross annual
458income for very-low-income, low-income, or moderate-income
459persons.
460     (c)  "Local government" means a county or municipality.
461     (d)  "Low-income persons" has the same meaning as in s.
462420.0004(9), Florida Statutes.
463     (e)  "Moderate-income persons" has the same meaning as in
464s. 420.0004(10), Florida Statutes.
465     (f)  "Very-low-income persons" has the same meaning as in
466s. 420.0004(14), Florida Statutes.
467     (3)  Upon a finding by a local government that there is a
468shortage of affordable rentals within its jurisdiction, the
469local government may adopt an ordinance to allow accessory
470dwelling units in any area zoned for single-family residential
471use.
472     (4)  If the local government adopts an ordinance under this
473section, an application for a building permit to construct an
474accessory dwelling unit must include an affidavit from the
475applicant which attests that the unit will be rented at an
476affordable rate to a very-low-income, low-income, or moderate-
477income person or persons.
478     (5)  Each accessory dwelling unit allowed by an ordinance
479adopted under this section shall apply towards satisfying the
480affordable housing component of the housing element in the local
