 2  designate areas for possible future municipal incorporation.

 3  The land use maps or map series shall generally identify and

 4  depict historic district boundaries and shall designate

 5  historically significant properties meriting protection.  The

 6  future land use element must clearly identify the land use

 7  categories in which public schools are an allowable use.  When

 8  delineating the land use categories in which public schools

 9  are an allowable use, a local government shall include in the

10  categories sufficient land proximate to residential

11  development to meet the projected needs for schools in

12  coordination with public school boards and may establish

13  differing criteria for schools of different type or size.

14  Each local government shall include lands contiguous to

15  existing school sites, to the maximum extent possible, within

16  the land use categories in which public schools are an

17  allowable use. All comprehensive plans must comply with the

18  school siting requirements of this paragraph no later than

19  October 1, 1999. The failure by a local government to comply

20  with these school siting requirements by October 1, 1999, will

21  result in the prohibition of the local government's ability to

22  amend the local comprehensive plan, except for plan amendments

23  described in s. 163.3187(1)(b), until the school siting

24  requirements are met. Amendments proposed by a local

25  government for purposes of identifying the land use categories

26  in which public schools are an allowable use or for adopting

27  or amending the school-siting maps pursuant to s. 163.31776(3)

28  are exempt from the limitation on the frequency of plan

29  amendments contained in s. 163.3187. The future land use

30  element shall include criteria that encourage the location of

31  schools proximate to urban residential areas to the extent

 1  possible and shall require that the local government seek to

 2  collocate public facilities, such as parks, libraries, and

 3  community centers, with schools to the extent possible and to

 4  encourage the use of elementary schools as focal points for

 5  neighborhoods. For schools serving predominantly rural

 6  counties, defined as a county with a population of 100,000 or

 7  fewer, an agricultural land use category shall be eligible for

 8  the location of public school facilities if the local

 9  comprehensive plan contains school siting criteria and the

10  location is consistent with such criteria. Local governments

11  required to update or amend their comprehensive plan to

12  include criteria and address compatibility of adjacent or

13  closely proximate lands with existing military installations

14  in their future land use plan element shall transmit the

15  update or amendment to the department by June 30, 2006.

16         (g)  For those units of local government identified in

17  s. 380.24, a coastal management element, appropriately related

18  to the particular requirements of paragraphs (d) and (e) and

19  meeting the requirements of s. 163.3178(2) and (3).  The

20  coastal management element shall set forth the policies that

21  shall guide the local government's decisions and program

22  implementation with respect to the following objectives:

23         1.  Maintenance, restoration, and enhancement of the

24  overall quality of the coastal zone environment, including,

 1  combination of local governments, authorized by agreement

 2  pursuant to paragraph (9)(b) to pursue the demonstration

 3  project, shall adopt into the comprehensive plan a

 4  redevelopment strategy, consistent with the requirements of s.

 5  163.3177(6)(a) and local mitigation strategies, which

 6  includes, at a minimum, the following components:

 7         a.  Measures to reduce, replace, or eliminate unsafe

 8  structures and properties subject to repetitive damage from

 9  coastal storms and floods;

10         b.  Measures to reduce exposure of infrastructure to

11  hazards, including relocation and structural modification of

12  threatened coastal infrastructure;

13         c.  Operational and capacity improvements to ensure

14  that the redevelopment strategy maintains or reduces

15  throughout the planning timeframe the county hurricane

16  evacuation clearance times as established in the most recent

17  hurricane evacuation study or transportation analysis;

18         d.  If the county hurricane evacuation clearance times

19  exceed 16 hours for a Category 3 storm event, measures to

20  ensure that the redevelopment strategy reduces the county

21  shelter deficit and hurricane clearance times to adequate

22  levels below 16 hours within the planning timeframe;

23         e.  Measures that provide for county evacuation shelter

24  space to ensure that development authorized within the

25  redevelopment area provides mitigation proportional to its

26  impact to offset the increased demand on evacuation clearance

27  times and public shelter space;

28         f.  Measures to ensure that public expenditures that

29  subsidize development in the most vulnerable areas of the

30  coastal high hazard area are limited to those expenditures

31  needed to provide for public access to the beach and

                                  13

 1  shoreline, restore beaches and dunes and other natural

 2  systems, correct existing hurricane evacuation deficiencies,

 3  or to make facilities more disaster resistant;

 4         g.  Measures that commit to planning and regulatory

 5  standards that exceed minimum National Flood Insurance

 6  Standards, including participation in the Community Rating

 7  System of the National Flood Insurance Program;

 8         h.  Measures to ensure protection of coastal resources,

 9  including beach and dune systems, and provision for public

10  access to the beach and shoreline consistent with estimated

11  public needs;

12         i.  Data and analysis, including existing damage

13  potential and the potential costs of damage to structures,

14  property, and infrastructure under the redevelopment strategy,

15  which would need to be less than that expected without the

16  redevelopment strategy;

17         j.  Data and analysis forecasting the effects on

18  shelter capacity and hurricane evacuation clearance times,

19  based on the population anticipated by the redevelopment

20  strategy; and

21         k.  The execution of an interlocal agreement, as

22  supporting data and analysis, between the local government or

23  a combination of local governments participating in the

24  demonstration project, together with their respective county

25  emergency management agency and any affected municipalities,

26  as needed, to implement mitigation strategies to reduce

27  hurricane evacuation clearance times and deficits in public

28  shelters.

29  

30  The redevelopment strategy must establish the preferred

31  character of the community and how that will be achieved.

16  subparagraph (2)(f)1., the state land planning agency and the

17  local government shall execute a written agreement that is a

18  final agency action subject to challenge under s. 120.569. The

19  written agreement must identify the area subject to the

20  increase in development potential, including residential and

21  transient residential development; state the amount of such

22  increase; identify the most vulnerable areas not subject to

23  increases in development; and describe how the conditions of

24  subparagraph (2)(f)2. are to be met. The state land planning

25  agency shall coordinate the review of hazard mitigation

26  strategies with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and

27  the Division of Emergency Management and include in the
