32 | Section 1. Subsection (32) of section 163.3164, Florida |
33 | Statutes, is amended to read: |
34 | 163.3164 Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land |
35 | Development Regulation Act; definitions.--As used in this act: |
36 | (32) "Financial feasibility" means that sufficient |
37 | revenues are currently available or will be available from |
38 | committed funding sources for the first 3 years, or will be |
39 | available from committed or planned funding sources for years 4 |
40 | and 5, of a 5-year capital improvement schedule for financing |
41 | capital improvements, such as ad valorem taxes, bonds, state and |
42 | federal funds, tax revenues, impact fees, and developer |
43 | contributions, which are adequate to fund the projected costs of |
44 | the capital improvements identified in the comprehensive plan |
45 | necessary to ensure that adopted level-of-service standards are |
46 | achieved and maintained within the period covered by the 5-year |
47 | schedule of capital improvements. The requirement that level-of- |
48 | service standards be achieved and maintained shall not apply if |
49 | the proportionate fair-share mitigation proportionate-share |
50 | process set forth in s. 163.3180(12) and (16) is used. |
51 | Section 2. Paragraph (c) of subsection (13) of section |
52 | 163.3177, Florida Statutes, is amended to read: |
53 | 163.3177 Required and optional elements of comprehensive |
54 | plan; studies and surveys.-- |
55 | (13) Local governments are encouraged to develop a |
56 | community vision that provides for sustainable growth, |
57 | recognizes its fiscal constraints, and protects its natural |
58 | resources. At the request of a local government, the applicable |
59 | regional planning council shall provide assistance in the |
60 | development of a community vision. |
61 | (c) As part of the workshops and public meetings, the |
62 | local government must discuss strategies for addressing the |
63 | topics discussed under paragraph (b), including: |
64 | 1. Strategies to preserve open space and environmentally |
65 | sensitive lands, and to encourage a healthy agricultural |
66 | economy, including innovative planning and development |
67 | strategies, such as the transfer of development rights; |
68 | 2. Incentives for mixed-use development, including |
69 | increased height and intensity standards for buildings that |
70 | provide residential use in combination with office or commercial |

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

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

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