|
27 | Section 1. Subsection (32) of section 163.3164, Florida |
28 | Statutes, is amended to read: |
29 | 163.3164 Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land |
30 | Development Regulation Act; definitions.--As used in this act: |
31 | (32) "Financial feasibility" means that sufficient |
32 | revenues are currently available or will be available from |
33 | committed funding sources for the first 3 years, or will be |
34 | available from committed or planned funding sources for years 4 |
35 | and 5, of a 5-year capital improvement schedule for financing |
36 | capital improvements, such as ad valorem taxes, bonds, state and |
37 | federal funds, tax revenues, impact fees, and developer |
38 | contributions, which are adequate to fund the projected costs of |
39 | the capital improvements identified in the comprehensive plan |
40 | necessary to ensure that adopted level-of-service standards are |
41 | achieved and maintained within the period covered by the 5-year |
42 | schedule of capital improvements. The requirement that level-of- |
43 | service standards be achieved and maintained shall not apply if |
44 | the proportionate fair-share mitigation proportionate-share |
45 | process set forth in s. 163.3180(12) and (16) is used. |
46 | Section 2. Paragraph (c) of subsection (13) of section |
47 | 163.3177, Florida Statutes, is amended to read: |
48 | 163.3177 Required and optional elements of comprehensive |
49 | plan; studies and surveys.-- |
50 | (13) Local governments are encouraged to develop a |
51 | community vision that provides for sustainable growth, |
52 | recognizes its fiscal constraints, and protects its natural |
53 | resources. At the request of a local government, the applicable |
54 | regional planning council shall provide assistance in the |
55 | development of a community vision. |
56 | (c) As part of the workshops and public meetings, the |
57 | local government must discuss strategies for addressing the |
58 | topics discussed under paragraph (b), including: |
59 | 1. Strategies to preserve open space and environmentally |
60 | sensitive lands, and to encourage a healthy agricultural |
61 | economy, including innovative planning and development |
62 | strategies, such as the transfer of development rights; |
63 | 2. Incentives for mixed-use development, including |
64 | increased height and intensity standards for buildings that |
65 | provide residential use in combination with office or commercial |
66 | space; |
67 | 3. Incentives for workforce housing; |
68 | 4. Designation of an urban service boundary pursuant to |
69 | subsection (14) (2); and |
70 | 5. Strategies to provide mobility within the community and |
71 | to protect the Strategic Intermodal System, including the |
72 | development of a transportation corridor management plan under |
73 | s. 337.273. |
74 | Section 3. Subsections (1) and (2), paragraph (a) of |
75 | subsection (3), and subsection (4) of section 163.31777, Florida |
76 | Statutes, are amended to read: |
77 | 163.31777 Public schools interlocal agreement.-- |
78 | (1)(a) The district school board, county, and nonexempt |
79 | municipalities located within the geographic area of a school |
80 | district shall enter into an interlocal agreement with the |
81 | district school board which jointly establishes the specific |
82 | ways in which the plans and processes of the district school |
83 | board and the local governments are to be coordinated. The |
84 | interlocal agreements shall be submitted to the state land |
85 | planning agency and the Office of Educational Facilities and the |
86 | SMART Schools Clearinghouse in accordance with a schedule |
87 | published by the state land planning agency. |
88 | (b) The schedule must establish staggered due dates for |
89 | submission of interlocal agreements that are executed by both |
90 | the local government and the district school board, commencing |
91 | on March 1, 2003, and concluding by December 1, 2004, and must |
92 | set the same date for all governmental entities within a school |
93 | district. However, if the county where the school district is |
94 | located contains more than 20 municipalities, the state land |
95 | planning agency may establish staggered due dates for the |
96 | submission of interlocal agreements by these municipalities. The |
97 | schedule must begin with those areas where both the number of |
98 | districtwide capital-outlay full-time-equivalent students equals |
99 | 80 percent or more of the current year's school capacity and the |
100 | projected 5-year student growth is 1,000 or greater, or where |
101 | the projected 5-year student growth rate is 10 percent or |
102 | greater. |
103 | (b)(c) If the student population has declined over the 5- |
104 | year period preceding the due date for submittal of an |
105 | interlocal agreement by the local government and the district |
106 | school board, the local government and the district school board |
107 | may petition the state land planning agency for a waiver of one |
108 | or more requirements of subsection (2). The waiver must be |
109 | granted if the procedures called for in subsection (2) are |
110 | unnecessary because of the school district's declining school |
111 | age population, considering the district's 5-year facilities |
112 | work program prepared pursuant to s. 1013.35. The state land |
113 | planning agency may modify or revoke the waiver upon a finding |
114 | that the conditions upon which the waiver was granted no longer |
115 | exist. The district school board and local governments must |
116 | submit an interlocal agreement within 1 year after notification |
117 | by the state land planning agency that the conditions for a |
118 | waiver no longer exist. |
119 | (c)(d) Interlocal agreements between local governments and |
120 | district school boards adopted pursuant to s. 163.3177 before |
121 | the effective date of this section must be updated and executed |
122 | pursuant to the requirements of this section, if necessary. |
123 | Amendments to interlocal agreements adopted pursuant to this |
124 | section must be submitted to the state land planning agency |
125 | within 30 days after execution by the parties for review |
126 | consistent with this section. Local governments and the district |
127 | school board in each school district are encouraged to adopt a |
128 | single updated interlocal agreement to which all join as |
129 | parties. The state land planning agency shall assemble and make |
130 | available model interlocal agreements meeting the requirements |
131 | of this section and notify local governments and, jointly with |
132 | the Department of Education, the district school boards of the |
133 | requirements of this section, the dates for compliance, and the |
134 | sanctions for noncompliance. The state land planning agency |
135 | shall be available to informally review proposed interlocal |
136 | agreements. If the state land planning agency has not received a |
137 | proposed interlocal agreement for informal review, the state |
138 | land planning agency shall, at least 60 days before the deadline |
139 | for submission of the executed agreement, renotify the local |
140 | government and the district school board of the upcoming |
141 | deadline and the potential for sanctions. |
142 | (2) The interlocal agreement must acknowledge the school |
143 | board's constitutional and statutory obligations to provide a |
144 | uniform system of free public schools on a countywide basis and |
145 | the land use authority of local governments, including the |
146 | authority to approve or deny comprehensive plan amendments and |
147 | development orders. At a minimum, The interlocal agreement must |
148 | address interlocal-agreement requirements in s. 163.3180(13)(g), |
149 | except for exempt local governments as provided in s. |
150 | 163.3177(12), and must address the following issues: |
151 | (a) Mechanisms for coordinating the development, adoption, |
152 | and amendment of each local government's public school |
153 | facilities element with each other local government that is a |
154 | party to the agreements and the plans of the school board to |
155 | ensure a uniform districtwide school concurrency system. |
156 | (b) A process for developing siting criteria that |
157 | encourages the location of public schools proximate to urban |
158 | residential areas to the extent possible and seeks to collocate |
159 | schools with other public facilities, including, but not limited |
160 | to, parks, libraries, and community centers, to the extent |
161 | possible. |
162 | (c) Uniform, districtwide, level-of-service standards for |
163 | public schools of the same type and a process for modifying |
164 | adopted level-of-service standards. |
165 | (d) A process for establishing a financially feasible |
166 | public school capital facilities program and a process and |
167 | schedule for incorporation of the public school capital |
168 | facilities program into the local government comprehensive plans |
169 | on an annual basis. |
170 | (e) If school concurrency is to be applied on a less than |
171 | districtwide basis in the form of concurrency service areas, |
172 | criteria and standards for the establishment and modification of |
173 | school concurrency service areas. The agreement must also |
174 | establish a process and schedule for the mandatory incorporation |
175 | of the school concurrency service areas and the criteria and |
176 | standards for establishment of the service areas into the local |
177 | government comprehensive plans. The agreement must ensure |
178 | maximum use of school capacity, taking into account |
179 | transportation costs and court-approved desegregation plans and |
180 | other applicable factors. |
181 | (f) A uniform districtwide procedure for implementing |
182 | school concurrency that provides for: |
183 | 1. Evaluation of development applications for compliance |
184 | with school concurrency requirements, including, but not limited |
185 | to, information provided by the school board on affected |
186 | schools. |
187 | 2. Monitoring and evaluation of the school concurrency |
188 | system. |
189 | (g) A process and uniform methodology for determining |
190 | proportionate fair-share mitigation pursuant to s. 380.06. |
191 | (h)(a) A process by which each local government and the |
192 | district school board agree and base their plans on consistent |
193 | projections of the amount, type, and distribution of population |
194 | growth and student enrollment. The geographic distribution of |
195 | jurisdiction-wide growth forecasts is a major objective of the |
196 | process. |
197 | (i)(b) A process to coordinate and share information |
198 | relating to existing and planned public school facilities, |
199 | including school renovations and closures, and local government |
200 | plans for development and redevelopment. |
201 | (j)(c) Participation by affected local governments with |
202 | the district school board in the process of evaluating potential |
203 | school closures, significant renovations to existing schools, |
204 | and new school site selection before land acquisition. Local |
205 | governments shall advise the district school board as to the |
206 | consistency of the proposed closure, renovation, or new site |
207 | with the local comprehensive plan, including appropriate |
208 | circumstances and criteria under which a district school board |
209 | may request an amendment to the comprehensive plan for school |
210 | siting. |
211 | (k)(d) A process for determining the need for and timing |
212 | of onsite and offsite improvements to support new, proposed |
213 | expansion, or redevelopment of existing schools. The process |
214 | must address identification of the party or parties responsible |
215 | for the improvements. |
216 | (e) A process for the school board to inform the local |
217 | government regarding the effect of comprehensive plan amendments |
218 | on school capacity. The capacity reporting must be consistent |
219 | with laws and rules relating to measurement of school facility |
220 | capacity and must also identify how the district school board |
221 | will meet the public school demand based on the facilities work |
222 | program adopted pursuant to s. 1013.35. |
223 | (l)(f) Participation of the local governments in the |
224 | preparation of the annual update to the district school board's |
225 | 5-year district facilities work program and educational plant |
226 | survey prepared pursuant to s. 1013.35. |
227 | (m)(g) A process for determining where and how joint use |
228 | of either school board or local government facilities can be |
229 | shared for mutual benefit and efficiency. |
230 | (n)(h) A procedure for the resolution of disputes between |
231 | the district school board and local governments, which may |
232 | include the dispute resolution processes contained in chapters |
233 | 164 and 186. |
234 | (o)(i) An oversight process, including an opportunity for |
235 | public participation, for the implementation of the interlocal |
236 | agreement. |
237 | (p) A process for development of a public school |
238 | facilities element pursuant to s. 163.3177(12). |
239 | (q) Provisions for siting and modification or enhancements |
240 | to existing school facilities so as to encourage urban infill |
241 | and redevelopment. |
242 | (r) A process for the use and conversion of historic |
243 | school facilities that are no longer suitable for educational |
244 | purposes, as determined by the district school board. |
245 | (s) A process for informing the local government regarding |
246 | the effect of comprehensive plan amendments and rezonings on |
247 | school capacity. The capacity reporting must be consistent with |
248 | laws and rules relating to measurement of school facility |
249 | capacity and must also identify how the district school board |
250 | will meet the public school demand based on the facilities work |
251 | program adopted pursuant to s. 1013.35. |
252 | (t) A process to ensure an opportunity for the school |
253 | board to review and comment on the effect of comprehensive plan |
254 | amendments and rezonings on the public school facilities plan. |
255 |
|
256 | For those local governments that receive a waiver pursuant to |
257 | subsection (1), the interlocal agreement shall not include the |
258 | issues provided for in paragraphs (a), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), |
259 | and (p). For counties or municipalities that do not have a |
260 | public school interlocal agreement or public school facility |
261 | element, the assessment shall determine whether the local |
262 | government continues to meet the criteria of s. 163.3177(12). If |
263 | a county or municipality determines that it no longer meets the |
264 | criteria, the county or municipality must adopt appropriate |
265 | school concurrency goals, objectives, and policies in its plan |
266 | amendments pursuant to the requirements of the public school |
267 | facility element and enter into the existing interlocal |
268 | agreement required by this section and s. 173.3177(6)(h)2. in |
269 | order to fully participate in the school concurrency system. |
270 | (3)(a) The updated interlocal agreement adopted pursuant |
271 | to the schedule adopted in accordance with s. 163.3177(12)(i) |
272 | and any subsequent amendments must be submitted to the state |
273 | land planning agency and the Office of Educational Facilities |
274 | within 30 days after execution by the parties to the agreement |
275 | for review consistent with this section. The office and SMART |
276 | Schools Clearinghouse shall submit any comments or concerns |
277 | regarding the executed interlocal agreement or agreement |
278 | amendments to the state land planning agency within 30 days |
279 | after receipt of the executed interlocal agreement or agreement |
280 | amendments. The state land planning agency shall review the |
281 | updated executed interlocal agreement or agreement amendments to |
282 | determine whether they are it is consistent with the |
283 | requirements of subsection (2), the adopted local government |
284 | comprehensive plan, and other requirements of law. Within 60 |
285 | days after receipt of an updated executed interlocal agreement |
286 | or agreement amendments, the state land planning agency shall |
287 | publish a notice on the agency's Internet website that states of |
288 | intent in the Florida Administrative Weekly and shall post a |
289 | copy of the notice on the agency's Internet site. The notice of |
290 | intent must state whether the interlocal agreement is consistent |
291 | or inconsistent with the requirements of subsection (2) and this |
292 | subsection, as appropriate. |
293 | (4) If an updated executed interlocal agreement is not |
294 | timely submitted to the state land planning agency for review, |
295 | the state land planning agency shall, within 15 working days |
296 | after the deadline for submittal, issue to the local government |
297 | and the district school board a Notice to Show Cause why |
298 | sanctions should not be imposed for failure to submit an |
299 | executed interlocal agreement by the deadline established by the |
300 | agency. The agency shall forward the notice and the responses to |
301 | the Administration Commission, which may enter a final order |
302 | citing the failure to comply and imposing sanctions against the |
303 | local government and district school board by directing the |
304 | appropriate agencies to withhold at least 5 percent of state |
305 | funds pursuant to s. 163.3184(11) and by directing the |
306 | Department of Education to withhold from the district school |
307 | board at least 5 percent of funds for school construction |
308 | available pursuant to ss. 1013.65, 1013.68, 1013.70, and |
309 | 1013.72. |
310 | Section 4. Paragraph (c) of subsection (2), paragraph (f) |
311 | of subsection (5), subsection (7), paragraphs (e), (f), (g), and |
312 | (h) of subsection (13), and paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (e), and |
313 | (f) of subsection (16) of section 163.3180, Florida Statutes, |
314 | are amended to read: |
315 | 163.3180 Concurrency.-- |
316 | (2) |
317 | (c) Consistent with the public welfare, and except as |
318 | otherwise provided in this section, transportation facilities |
319 | needed to serve new development shall be in place or under |
320 | actual construction within 3 years after the local government |
321 | approves a building permit or its functional equivalent that |
322 | results in traffic generation. For purposes of this paragraph |
323 | and all provisions relating to transportation concurrency, if |
324 | the construction funding needed for facilities is provided in |
325 | the first 3 years of the Department of Transportation's work |
326 | program or the local government's schedule of capital |
327 | improvements, the under-actual-construction requirements of this |
328 | paragraph shall be deemed to have been met. |
329 | (5) |
330 | (f) Prior to the designation of a concurrency exception |
331 | area, the Department of Transportation shall be consulted by the |
332 | local government to assess the impact that the proposed |
333 | exception area is expected to have on the adopted level-of- |
334 | service standards established for Strategic Intermodal System |
335 | facilities, as defined in s. 339.64, and roadway facilities |
336 | funded in accordance with s. 339.2819. Further, the local |
337 | government shall, in cooperation with the Department of |
338 | Transportation, develop a plan to mitigate any impacts to the |
339 | Strategic Intermodal System, including, if appropriate, the |
340 | development of a long-term concurrency management system |
341 | pursuant to subsection (9) and s. 163.3177(3)(d). The exceptions |
342 | may be available only within the specific geographic area of the |
343 | jurisdiction designated in the plan. Pursuant to s. 163.3184, |
344 | any affected person may challenge a plan amendment establishing |
345 | these guidelines and the areas within which an exception could |
346 | be granted. By October 1, 2006, the Department of |
347 | Transportation, after publicly noticed workshops, shall publish |
348 | and distribute to local governments a policy guideline |
349 | containing criteria and options to assist local governments in |
350 | planning to assess and mitigate the impacts of a proposed |
351 | concurrency exception area as described in this paragraph. |
352 | (7) In order to promote infill development and |
353 | redevelopment, one or more transportation concurrency management |
354 | areas may be designated in a local government comprehensive |
355 | plan. A transportation concurrency management area must be a |
356 | compact geographic area with an existing network of roads where |
357 | multiple, viable alternative travel paths or modes are available |
358 | for common trips. A local government may establish an areawide |
359 | level-of-service standard for such a transportation concurrency |
360 | management area based upon an analysis that provides for a |
361 | justification for the areawide level of service, how urban |
362 | infill development or redevelopment will be promoted, and how |
363 | mobility will be accomplished within the transportation |
364 | concurrency management area. Prior to the designation of a |
365 | concurrency management area, the Department of Transportation |
366 | shall be consulted by the local government to assess the impact |
367 | that the proposed concurrency management area is expected to |
368 | have on the adopted level-of-service standards established for |
369 | Strategic Intermodal System facilities, as defined in s. 339.64, |
370 | and roadway facilities funded in accordance with s. 339.2819. |
371 | Further, the local government shall, in cooperation with the |
372 | Department of Transportation, develop a plan to mitigate any |
373 | impacts to the Strategic Intermodal System, including, if |
374 | appropriate, the development of a long-term concurrency |
375 | management system pursuant to subsection (9) and s. |
376 | 163.3177(3)(d). Transportation concurrency management areas |
377 | existing prior to July 1, 2005, shall meet, at a minimum, the |
378 | provisions of this section by July 1, 2006, or at the time of |
379 | the comprehensive plan update pursuant to the evaluation and |
380 | appraisal report, whichever occurs last. The state land planning |
381 | agency shall amend chapter 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code, to |
382 | be consistent with this subsection. By October 1, 2006, the |
383 | Department of Transportation, after publicly noticed workshops, |
384 | shall publish and distribute to local governments a policy |
385 | guideline containing criteria and options to assist local |
386 | governments in planning to assess and mitigate the impacts of a |
387 | proposed concurrency exception area as described in this |
388 | paragraph. |
389 | (13) School concurrency shall be established on a |
390 | districtwide basis and shall include all public schools in the |
391 | district and all portions of the district, whether located in a |
392 | municipality or an unincorporated area unless exempt from the |
393 | public school facilities element pursuant to s. 163.3177(12). |
394 | The application of school concurrency to development shall be |
395 | based upon the adopted comprehensive plan, as amended. All local |
396 | governments within a county, except as provided in paragraph |
397 | (f), shall adopt and transmit to the state land planning agency |
398 | the necessary plan amendments, along with the interlocal |
399 | agreement, for a compliance review pursuant to s. 163.3184(7) |
400 | and (8). The minimum requirements for school concurrency are the |
401 | following: |
402 | (e) Availability standard.--Consistent with the public |
403 | welfare, a local government may not deny an application for site |
404 | plan, final subdivision approval, or the functional equivalent |
405 | for a development or phase of a development authorizing |
406 | residential development for failure to achieve and maintain the |
407 | level-of-service standard for public school capacity in a local |
408 | school concurrency management system where adequate school |
409 | facilities will be in place or under actual construction within |
410 | 3 years after the issuance of final subdivision or site plan |
411 | approval, or the functional equivalent. School concurrency shall |
412 | be satisfied if the developer executes a legally binding |
413 | commitment to provide proportionate fair-share mitigation |
414 | against proportionate to the demand for public school facilities |
415 | to be created by actual development of the property, including, |
416 | but not limited to, the options described in subparagraph 1. |
417 | Options for proportionate fair-share proportionate-share |
418 | mitigation of impacts on public school facilities shall be |
419 | established in the public school facilities element and the |
420 | interlocal agreement pursuant to s. 163.31777. |
421 | 1. Appropriate proportionate fair-share mitigation options |
422 | include the contribution of land; the construction, expansion, |
423 | or payment for land acquisition or construction of a public |
424 | school facility; or the creation of mitigation banking based on |
425 | the construction of a public school facility in exchange for the |
426 | right to sell capacity credits. Such options must include |
427 | execution by the applicant and the local government of a binding |
428 | development agreement that constitutes a legally binding |
429 | commitment to pay proportionate fair-share proportionate-share |
430 | mitigation for the additional residential units approved by the |
431 | local government in a development order and actually developed |
432 | on the property, taking into account residential density allowed |
433 | on the property prior to the plan amendment that increased |
434 | overall residential density. The district school board shall be |
435 | a party to such an agreement. As a condition of its entry into |
436 | such a development agreement, the local government may require |
437 | the landowner to agree to continuing renewal of the agreement |
438 | upon its expiration. |
439 | 2. If the education facilities plan and the public |
440 | educational facilities element authorize a contribution of land; |
441 | the construction, expansion, or payment for land acquisition; or |
442 | the construction or expansion of a public school facility, or a |
443 | portion thereof, as proportionate fair-share proportionate-share |
444 | mitigation, the local government shall credit such a |
445 | contribution, construction, expansion, or payment toward any |
446 | other impact fee or exaction imposed by local ordinance for the |
447 | same need, on a dollar-for-dollar basis at fair market value. |
448 | 3. Any proportionate fair-share proportionate-share |
449 | mitigation must be directed by the school board toward a school |
450 | capacity improvement identified in a financially feasible 5-year |
451 | district work plan and which satisfies the demands created by |
452 | that development in accordance with a binding developer's |
453 | agreement. |
454 | 4. This paragraph does not limit the authority of a local |
455 | government to deny a development permit or its functional |
456 | equivalent pursuant to its home rule regulatory powers, except |
457 | as provided in this part. |
458 | (f) Intergovernmental coordination.-- |
459 | 1. When establishing concurrency requirements for public |
460 | schools, a local government shall satisfy the requirements for |
461 | intergovernmental coordination set forth in s. 163.3177(6)(h)1. |
462 | and 2., except that a municipality is not required to be a |
463 | signatory to the interlocal agreement required by ss. |
464 | 163.3177(6)(h)2. and 163.31777(6), as a prerequisite for |
465 | imposition of school concurrency, and as a nonsignatory, shall |
466 | not participate in the adopted local school concurrency system, |
467 | if the municipality meets all of the following criteria for |
468 | having no significant impact on school attendance: |
469 | a. The municipality has issued development orders for |
470 | fewer than 50 residential dwelling units during the preceding 5 |
471 | years, or the municipality has generated fewer than 25 |
472 | additional public school students during the preceding 5 years. |
473 | b. The municipality has not annexed new land during the |
474 | preceding 5 years in land use categories which permit |
475 | residential uses that will affect school attendance rates. |
476 | c. The municipality has no public schools located within |
477 | its boundaries. |
478 | d. At least 80 percent of the developable land within the |
479 | boundaries of the municipality has been built upon. |
480 | 2. A municipality which qualifies as having no significant |
481 | impact on school attendance pursuant to the criteria of |
482 | subparagraph 1. must review and determine at the time of its |
483 | evaluation and appraisal report pursuant to s. 163.3191 whether |
484 | it continues to meet the criteria pursuant to s. 163.31777(6). |
485 | If the municipality determines that it no longer meets the |
486 | criteria, it must adopt appropriate school concurrency goals, |
487 | objectives, and policies in its plan amendments based on the |
488 | evaluation and appraisal report, and enter into the existing |
489 | interlocal agreement required by ss. 163.3177(6)(h)2. and |
490 | 163.31777, in order to fully participate in the school |
491 | concurrency system. If such a municipality fails to do so, it |
492 | will be subject to the enforcement provisions of s. 163.3191. |
493 | (g) Interlocal agreement for school concurrency.--When |
494 | establishing concurrency requirements for public schools, a |
495 | local government must enter into an interlocal agreement that |
496 | satisfies the requirements in ss. 163.3177(6)(h)1. and 2. and |
497 | 163.31777 and the requirements of this subsection. The |
498 | interlocal agreement shall acknowledge both the school board's |
499 | constitutional and statutory obligations to provide a uniform |
500 | system of free public schools on a countywide basis, and the |
501 | land use authority of local governments, including their |
502 | authority to approve or deny comprehensive plan amendments and |
503 | development orders. The interlocal agreement shall be submitted |
504 | to the state land planning agency by the local government as a |
505 | part of the compliance review, along with the other necessary |
506 | amendments to the comprehensive plan required by this part. In |
507 | addition to the requirements of ss. 163.3177(6)(h) and |
508 | 163.31777, the interlocal agreement shall meet the following |
509 | requirements: |
510 | 1. Establish the mechanisms for coordinating the |
511 | development, adoption, and amendment of each local government's |
512 | public school facilities element with each other and the plans |
513 | of the school board to ensure a uniform districtwide school |
514 | concurrency system. |
515 | 2. Establish a process for the development of siting |
516 | criteria which encourages the location of public schools |
517 | proximate to urban residential areas to the extent possible and |
518 | seeks to collocate schools with other public facilities such as |
519 | parks, libraries, and community centers to the extent possible. |
520 | 3. Specify uniform, districtwide level-of-service |
521 | standards for public schools of the same type and the process |
522 | for modifying the adopted level-of-service standards. |
523 | 4. Establish a process for the preparation, amendment, and |
524 | joint approval by each local government and the school board of |
525 | a public school capital facilities program which is financially |
526 | feasible, and a process and schedule for incorporation of the |
527 | public school capital facilities program into the local |
528 | government comprehensive plans on an annual basis. |
529 | 5. Define the geographic application of school |
530 | concurrency. If school concurrency is to be applied on a less |
531 | than districtwide basis in the form of concurrency service |
532 | areas, the agreement shall establish criteria and standards for |
533 | the establishment and modification of school concurrency service |
534 | areas. The agreement shall also establish a process and schedule |
535 | for the mandatory incorporation of the school concurrency |
536 | service areas and the criteria and standards for establishment |
537 | of the service areas into the local government comprehensive |
538 | plans. The agreement shall ensure maximum utilization of school |
539 | capacity, taking into account transportation costs and court- |
540 | approved desegregation plans, as well as other factors. The |
541 | agreement shall also ensure the achievement and maintenance of |
542 | the adopted level-of-service standards for the geographic area |
543 | of application throughout the 5 years covered by the public |
544 | school capital facilities plan and thereafter by adding a new |
545 | fifth year during the annual update. |
546 | 6. Establish a uniform districtwide procedure for |
547 | implementing school concurrency which provides for: |
548 | a. The evaluation of development applications for |
549 | compliance with school concurrency requirements, including |
550 | information provided by the school board on affected schools, |
551 | impact on levels of service, and programmed improvements for |
552 | affected schools and any options to provide sufficient capacity; |
553 | b. An opportunity for the school board to review and |
554 | comment on the effect of comprehensive plan amendments and |
555 | rezonings on the public school facilities plan; and |
556 | c. The monitoring and evaluation of the school concurrency |
557 | system. |
558 | 7. Include provisions relating to amendment of the |
559 | agreement. |
560 | 8. A process and uniform methodology for determining |
561 | proportionate-share mitigation pursuant to subparagraph (e)1. |
562 | (g)(h) Local government authority.--This subsection does |
563 | not limit the authority of a local government to grant or deny a |
564 | development permit or its functional equivalent prior to the |
565 | implementation of school concurrency. |
566 | (16) It is the intent of the Legislature to provide a |
567 | method by which the impacts of development on transportation |
568 | facilities can be mitigated by the cooperative efforts of the |
569 | public and private sectors. The methodology used to calculate |
570 | proportionate fair-share mitigation under this section shall be |
571 | as provided for in subsection (12). |
572 | (a) By December 1, 2006, each local government shall adopt |
573 | by ordinance a methodology for assessing proportionate fair- |
574 | share mitigation options. A local government that fails to adopt |
575 | a methodology for assessing proportionate fair-share mitigation |
576 | options by December 1, 2006, may not impose any transportation |
577 | impact fee after that date until such methodology has been |
578 | adopted. By December 1, 2005, the Department of Transportation |
579 | shall develop a model transportation concurrency management |
580 | ordinance with methodologies for assessing proportionate fair- |
581 | share mitigation options. |
582 | (b)1. In its transportation concurrency management system, |
583 | a local government shall, by December 1, 2006, include |
584 | methodologies that will be applied to calculate proportionate |
585 | fair-share mitigation. A local government that fails to include |
586 | such methodologies by December 1, 2006, may not impose any |
587 | transportation impact fee after that date until such |
588 | methodologies have been adopted. A developer may choose to |
589 | satisfy all transportation concurrency requirements by |
590 | contributing or paying proportionate fair-share mitigation if |
591 | transportation facilities or facility segments identified as |
592 | mitigation for traffic impacts are specifically identified for |
593 | funding in the 5-year schedule of capital improvements in the |
594 | capital improvements element of the local plan or the long-term |
595 | concurrency management system or if such contributions or |
596 | payments to such facilities or segments are reflected in the 5- |
597 | year schedule of capital improvements in the next regularly |
598 | scheduled update of the capital improvements element. Updates to |
599 | the 5-year capital improvements element which reflect |
600 | proportionate fair-share contributions may not be found not in |
601 | compliance based on ss. 163.3164(32) 163.164(32) and 163.3177(3) |
602 | if additional contributions, payments or funding sources are |
603 | reasonably anticipated during a period not to exceed 10 years to |
604 | fully mitigate impacts on the transportation facilities. |
605 | 2. Proportionate fair-share mitigation shall be applied as |
606 | a credit against impact fees to the extent that all or a portion |
607 | of the proportionate fair-share mitigation is used to address |
608 | the same capital infrastructure improvements contemplated by the |
609 | local government's impact fee ordinance. |
610 | (c) Proportionate fair-share mitigation includes, without |
611 | limitation, separately or collectively, private funds, |
612 | contributions of land, and construction and contribution of |
613 | facilities and may include public funds as determined by the |
614 | local government. The fair market value of the proportionate |
615 | fair-share mitigation shall not differ based on the form of |
616 | mitigation. A local government may not require a development to |
617 | pay more than its proportionate fair-share mitigation |
618 | contribution regardless of the method of mitigation. |
619 | (e) Mitigation for development impacts to facilities on |
620 | the Strategic Intermodal System made pursuant to this subsection |
621 | requires the concurrence of the Department of Transportation. |
622 | The department has 30 days from the date of submission by the |
623 | applicable local government to concur or withhold concurrence |
624 | with the mitigation of development impacts to facilities on the |
625 | Strategic Intermodal System. If the department does not respond |
626 | within the 30-day period, the department is deemed to have |
627 | concurred with the mitigation. |
628 | (f) If In the event the funds in an adopted 5-year capital |
629 | improvements element are insufficient to fully fund construction |
630 | of a transportation improvement required by the local |
631 | government's concurrency management system, a local government |
632 | and a developer may still enter into a binding proportionate |
633 | fair-share mitigation proportionate-share agreement authorizing |
634 | the developer to construct that amount of development on which |
635 | the proportionate fair-share mitigation proportionate share is |
636 | calculated if the proportionate fair-share mitigation |
637 | proportionate-share amount in such agreement is sufficient to |
638 | pay for one or more improvements which will, in the opinion of |
639 | the governmental entity or entities maintaining the |
640 | transportation facilities, significantly benefit the impacted |
641 | transportation system. The improvement or improvements funded by |
642 | the proportionate fair-share mitigation proportionate-share |
643 | component must be adopted into the 5-year capital improvements |
644 | schedule of the comprehensive plan at the next annual capital |
645 | improvements element update. |
646 | Section 5. Subsection (17) of section 163.3184, Florida |
647 | Statutes, is amended to read: |
648 | 163.3184 Process for adoption of comprehensive plan or |

700 | of section 380.06, Florida Statutes, are amended to read: |
701 | 380.06 Developments of regional impact.-- |
702 | (24) STATUTORY EXEMPTIONS.-- |
703 | (l) Any proposed development within an urban service |
704 | boundary established under s. 163.3177(14) is exempt from the |
705 | provisions of this section if the local government having |
706 | jurisdiction over the area where the development is proposed has |
707 | adopted the urban service boundary and has entered into a |
708 | binding agreement with adjacent jurisdictions and the Department |
709 | of Transportation regarding the mitigation of impacts on state |
710 | and regional transportation facilities, and has adopted a |
711 | proportionate fair-share mitigation share methodology pursuant |
712 | to s. 163.3180(16). |
713 | (m) Any proposed development within a rural land |
714 | stewardship area created under s. 163.3177(11)(d) is exempt from |
715 | the provisions of this section if the local government that has |

718 | the Department of Transportation regarding the mitigation of |
719 | impacts on state and regional transportation facilities, and has |
720 | adopted a proportionate fair-share mitigation share methodology |
721 | pursuant to s. 163.3180(16). |
722 | (n) Any proposed development or redevelopment within an |
723 | area designated as an urban infill and redevelopment area under |
724 | s. 163.2517 is exempt from the provisions of this section if the |
725 | local government has entered into a binding agreement with |
726 | jurisdictions that would be impacted and the Department of |
727 | Transportation regarding the mitigation of impacts on state and |
728 | regional transportation facilities, and has adopted a |
729 | proportionate fair-share mitigation share methodology pursuant |
730 | to s. 163.3180(16). |
731 | Section 9. Subsections (2), (3), and (12) of section |
732 | 1013.33, Florida Statutes, are amended to read: |
733 | 1013.33 Coordination of planning with local governing |
734 | bodies.-- |
735 | (2)(a) The school board, county, and nonexempt |
736 | municipalities located within the geographic area of a school |
737 | district shall enter into an interlocal agreement that jointly |
738 | establishes the specific ways in which the plans and processes |
739 | of the district school board and the local governments are to be |
740 | coordinated. Any updated The interlocal agreements and agreement |
741 | amendments shall be submitted to the state land planning agency |
742 | and the Office of Educational Facilities and the SMART Schools |
743 | Clearinghouse in accordance with a schedule published by the |
744 | state land planning agency pursuant to s. 163.3177(12)(i). |
745 | (b) The schedule must establish staggered due dates for |
746 | submission of interlocal agreements that are executed by both |
747 | the local government and district school board, commencing on |
748 | March 1, 2003, and concluding by December 1, 2004, and must set |
749 | the same date for all governmental entities within a school |
750 | district. However, if the county where the school district is |
751 | located contains more than 20 municipalities, the state land |
752 | planning agency may establish staggered due dates for the |
753 | submission of interlocal agreements by these municipalities. The |
754 | schedule must begin with those areas where both the number of |
755 | districtwide capital-outlay full-time-equivalent students equals |
756 | 80 percent or more of the current year's school capacity and the |
757 | projected 5-year student growth rate is 1,000 or greater, or |
758 | where the projected 5-year student growth rate is 10 percent or |
759 | greater. |
760 | (b)(c) If the student population has declined over the 5- |
761 | year period preceding the due date for submittal of an |
762 | interlocal agreement by the local government and the district |
763 | school board, the local government and district school board may |
764 | petition the state land planning agency for a waiver of one or |
765 | more of the requirements of subsection (3). The waiver must be |
766 | granted if the procedures called for in subsection (3) are |
767 | unnecessary because of the school district's declining school |
768 | age population, considering the district's 5-year work program |
769 | prepared pursuant to s. 1013.35. The state land planning agency |
770 | may modify or revoke the waiver upon a finding that the |
771 | conditions upon which the waiver was granted no longer exist. |
772 | The district school board and local governments must submit an |
773 | interlocal agreement within 1 year after notification by the |
774 | state land planning agency that the conditions for a waiver no |
775 | longer exist. |
776 | (c)(d) Interlocal agreements between local governments and |
777 | district school boards adopted pursuant to s. 163.3177 before |
778 | the effective date of subsections (2)-(9) must be updated and |
779 | executed pursuant to the requirements of subsections (2)-(9), if |
780 | necessary. Amendments to interlocal agreements adopted pursuant |
781 | to subsections (2)-(9) must be submitted to the state land |
782 | planning agency within 30 days after execution by the parties |
783 | for review consistent with subsections (3) and (4). Local |
784 | governments and the district school board in each school |
785 | district are encouraged to adopt a single updated interlocal |
786 | agreement in which all join as parties. The state land planning |
787 | agency shall assemble and make available model interlocal |
788 | agreements meeting the requirements of subsections (2)-(9) and |
789 | shall notify local governments and, jointly with the Department |
790 | of Education, the district school boards of the requirements of |
791 | subsections (2)-(9), the dates for compliance, and the sanctions |
792 | for noncompliance. The state land planning agency shall be |
793 | available to informally review proposed interlocal agreements. |
794 | If the state land planning agency has not received a proposed |
795 | interlocal agreement for informal review, the state land |
796 | planning agency shall, at least 60 days before the deadline for |
797 | submission of the executed agreement, renotify the local |
798 | government and the district school board of the upcoming |
799 | deadline and the potential for sanctions. |
800 | (3) At a minimum, The interlocal agreement must address |
801 | interlocal agreement requirements in s. 163.3180(13)(g), except |
802 | for exempt local governments as provided in s. 163.3177(12), and |
803 | must address the following issues specified in s. 163.31777(2).: |
804 | (a) A process by which each local government and the |
805 | district school board agree and base their plans on consistent |
806 | projections of the amount, type, and distribution of population |
807 | growth and student enrollment. The geographic distribution of |
808 | jurisdiction-wide growth forecasts is a major objective of the |
809 | process. |
810 | (b) A process to coordinate and share information relating |
811 | to existing and planned public school facilities, including |
812 | school renovations and closures, and local government plans for |
813 | development and redevelopment. |
814 | (c) Participation by affected local governments with the |
815 | district school board in the process of evaluating potential |
816 | school closures, significant renovations to existing schools, |
817 | and new school site selection before land acquisition. Local |
818 | governments shall advise the district school board as to the |
819 | consistency of the proposed closure, renovation, or new site |
820 | with the local comprehensive plan, including appropriate |
821 | circumstances and criteria under which a district school board |
822 | may request an amendment to the comprehensive plan for school |
823 | siting. |
824 | (d) A process for determining the need for and timing of |
825 | onsite and offsite improvements to support new construction, |
826 | proposed expansion, or redevelopment of existing schools. The |
827 | process shall address identification of the party or parties |
828 | responsible for the improvements. |
829 | (e) A process for the school board to inform the local |
830 | government regarding the effect of comprehensive plan amendments |
831 | on school capacity. The capacity reporting must be consistent |
832 | with laws and rules regarding measurement of school facility |
833 | capacity and must also identify how the district school board |
834 | will meet the public school demand based on the facilities work |
835 | program adopted pursuant to s. 1013.35. |
836 | (f) Participation of the local governments in the |
837 | preparation of the annual update to the school board's 5-year |
838 | district facilities work program and educational plant survey |
839 | prepared pursuant to s. 1013.35. |
840 | (g) A process for determining where and how joint use of |
841 | either school board or local government facilities can be shared |
842 | for mutual benefit and efficiency. |
843 | (h) A procedure for the resolution of disputes between the |
844 | district school board and local governments, which may include |
845 | the dispute resolution processes contained in chapters 164 and |
846 | 186. |
847 | (i) An oversight process, including an opportunity for |
848 | public participation, for the implementation of the interlocal |
849 | agreement. |
850 | (12) As early in the design phase as feasible and |
851 | consistent with an interlocal agreement entered pursuant to |
852 | subsections (2)-(8), but no later than 120 90 days before |
