4

     Senate Amendment (with title amendment)

5

     Between line(s) 487 and 488,

6

insert:

7

     Section 13.  Paragraphs (a), (h), and (j) of subsection (6)

8

of section 163.3177, Florida Statutes, are amended to read:

9

     163.3177  Required and optional elements of comprehensive

10

plan; studies and surveys.--

11

     (6)  In addition to the requirements of subsections (1)-(5)

12

and (12), the comprehensive plan shall include the following

13

elements:

14

     (a)  A future land use plan element designating proposed

15

future general distribution, location, and extent of the uses of

16

land for residential uses, commercial uses, industry,

17

agriculture, recreation, conservation, education, public

18

buildings and grounds, other public facilities, and other

19

categories of the public and private uses of land. Counties are

20

encouraged to designate rural land stewardship areas, pursuant to

21

the provisions of paragraph (11)(d), as overlays on the future

22

land use map. Each future land use category must be defined in

23

terms of uses included, and must include standards to be followed

24

in the control and distribution of population densities and

25

building and structure intensities. The proposed distribution,

26

location, and extent of the various categories of land use shall

27

be shown on a land use map or map series which shall be

28

supplemented by goals, policies, and measurable objectives. The

29

future land use plan shall be based upon surveys, studies, and

30

data regarding the area, including the amount of land required to

31

accommodate anticipated growth; the projected population of the

32

area; the character of undeveloped land; the availability of

33

water supplies, public facilities, and services; the need for

34

redevelopment, including the renewal of blighted areas and the

35

elimination of nonconforming uses which are inconsistent with the

36

character of the community; the compatibility of uses on lands

37

adjacent to or closely proximate to military installations and

38

airports, as defined in s. 330.35 and consistent with s. 333.02;

39

and, in rural communities, the need for job creation, capital

40

investment, and economic development that will strengthen and

41

diversify the community's economy. The future land use plan may

42

designate areas for future planned development use involving

43

combinations of types of uses for which special regulations may

44

be necessary to ensure development in accord with the principles

45

and standards of the comprehensive plan and this act. The future

46

land use plan element shall include criteria to be used to

47

achieve the compatibility of adjacent or closely proximate lands

48

with military installations and airports, as defined in s. 330.35

49

and consistent with s. 333.02. In addition, for rural

50

communities, the amount of land designated for future planned

51

industrial use shall be based upon surveys and studies that

52

reflect the need for job creation, capital investment, and the

53

necessity to strengthen and diversify the local economies, and

54

shall not be limited solely by the projected population of the

55

rural community. The future land use plan of a county may also

56

designate areas for possible future municipal incorporation. The

57

land use maps or map series shall generally identify and depict

58

historic district boundaries and shall designate historically

59

significant properties meriting protection. For coastal counties,

60

the future land use element must include, without limitation,

61

regulatory incentives and criteria that encourage the

62

preservation of recreational and commercial working waterfronts

63

as defined in s. 342.07. The future land use element must clearly

64

identify the land use categories in which public schools are an

65

allowable use. When delineating the land use categories in which

66

public schools are an allowable use, a local government shall

67

include in the categories sufficient land proximate to

68

residential development to meet the projected needs for schools

69

in coordination with public school boards and may establish

70

differing criteria for schools of different type or size. Each

71

local government shall include lands contiguous to existing

72

school sites, to the maximum extent possible, within the land use

73

categories in which public schools are an allowable use. The

74

failure by a local government to comply with these school siting

75

requirements will result in the prohibition of the local

76

government's ability to amend the local comprehensive plan,

77

except for plan amendments described in s. 163.3187(1)(b), until

78

the school siting requirements are met. Amendments proposed by a

79

local government for purposes of identifying the land use

80

categories in which public schools are an allowable use are

81

exempt from the limitation on the frequency of plan amendments

82

contained in s. 163.3187. The future land use element shall

83

include criteria that encourage the location of schools proximate

84

to urban residential areas to the extent possible and shall

85

require that the local government seek to collocate public

86

facilities, such as parks, libraries, and community centers, with

87

schools to the extent possible and to encourage the use of

88

elementary schools as focal points for neighborhoods. For schools

89

serving predominantly rural counties, defined as a county with a

90

population of 100,000 or fewer, an agricultural land use category

91

shall be eligible for the location of public school facilities if

92

the local comprehensive plan contains school siting criteria and

93

the location is consistent with such criteria. Local governments

94

required to update or amend their comprehensive plan to include

95

criteria and address compatibility of adjacent or closely

96

proximate lands with existing or new airports, as defined in s.

97

330.35 and consistent with s. 333.02, military installations in

98

their future land use plan element shall transmit the update or

99

amendment to the department by June 30, 2010 2006.

100

     (h)1.  An intergovernmental coordination element showing

101

relationships and stating principles and guidelines to be used in

102

the accomplishment of coordination of the adopted comprehensive

103

plan with the plans of school boards, regional water supply

104

authorities, and other units of local government providing

105

services but not having regulatory authority over the use of

106

land, with the comprehensive plans of adjacent municipalities,

107

the county, adjacent counties, or the region, with the state

108

comprehensive plan and with the applicable regional water supply

109

plan approved pursuant to s. 373.0361, as the case may require

110

and as such adopted plans or plans in preparation may exist. This

111

element of the local comprehensive plan shall demonstrate

112

consideration of the particular effects of the local plan, when

113

adopted, upon the development of adjacent municipalities, the

114

county, adjacent counties, or the region, or upon the state

115

comprehensive plan, as the case may require.

116

     a.  The intergovernmental coordination element shall provide

117

for procedures to identify and implement joint planning areas,

118

especially for the purpose of annexation, municipal

119

incorporation, and joint infrastructure service areas.

120

     b.  The intergovernmental coordination element shall provide

121

for recognition of campus master plans prepared pursuant to s.

122

1013.30 and airport master plans pursuant to paragraph (k).

123

     c.  The intergovernmental coordination element may provide

124

for a voluntary dispute resolution process as established

125

pursuant to s. 186.509 for bringing to closure in a timely manner

126

intergovernmental disputes. A local government may develop and

127

use an alternative local dispute resolution process for this

128

purpose.

129

     d. The intergovernmental coordination element shall provide

130

for interlocal agreements, as established pursuant to s.

131

333.03(1)(b).

132

     2.  The intergovernmental coordination element shall further

133

state principles and guidelines to be used in the accomplishment

134

of coordination of the adopted comprehensive plan with the plans

135

of school boards and other units of local government providing

136

facilities and services but not having regulatory authority over

137

the use of land. In addition, the intergovernmental coordination

138

element shall describe joint processes for collaborative planning

139

and decisionmaking on population projections and public school

140

siting, the location and extension of public facilities subject

141

to concurrency, and siting facilities with countywide

142

significance, including locally unwanted land uses whose nature

143

and identity are established in an agreement. Within 1 year of

144

adopting their intergovernmental coordination elements, each

145

county, all the municipalities within that county, the district

146

school board, and any unit of local government service providers

147

in that county shall establish by interlocal or other formal

148

agreement executed by all affected entities, the joint processes

149

described in this subparagraph consistent with their adopted

150

intergovernmental coordination elements.

151

     3.  To foster coordination between special districts and

152

local general-purpose governments as local general-purpose

153

governments implement local comprehensive plans, each independent

154

special district must submit a public facilities report to the

155

appropriate local government as required by s. 189.415.

156

     4.a.  Local governments must execute an interlocal agreement

157

with the district school board, the county, and nonexempt

158

municipalities pursuant to s. 163.31777. The local government

159

shall amend the intergovernmental coordination element to provide

160

that coordination between the local government and school board

161

is pursuant to the agreement and shall state the obligations of

162

the local government under the agreement.

163

     b.  Plan amendments that comply with this subparagraph are

164

exempt from the provisions of s. 163.3187(1).

165

     5.  The state land planning agency shall establish a

166

schedule for phased completion and transmittal of plan amendments

167

to implement subparagraphs 1., 2., and 3. from all jurisdictions

168

so as to accomplish their adoption by December 31, 1999. A local

169

government may complete and transmit its plan amendments to carry

170

out these provisions prior to the scheduled date established by

171

the state land planning agency. The plan amendments are exempt

172

from the provisions of s. 163.3187(1).

173

     6.  By January 1, 2004, any county having a population

174

greater than 100,000, and the municipalities and special

175

districts within that county, shall submit a report to the

176

Department of Community Affairs which:

177

     a.  Identifies all existing or proposed interlocal service

178

delivery agreements regarding the following: education; sanitary

179

sewer; public safety; solid waste; drainage; potable water; parks

180

and recreation; and transportation facilities.

181

     b.  Identifies any deficits or duplication in the provision

182

of services within its jurisdiction, whether capital or

183

operational. Upon request, the Department of Community Affairs

184

shall provide technical assistance to the local governments in

185

identifying deficits or duplication.

186

     7.  Within 6 months after submission of the report, the

187

Department of Community Affairs shall, through the appropriate

188

regional planning council, coordinate a meeting of all local

189

governments within the regional planning area to discuss the

190

reports and potential strategies to remedy any identified

191

deficiencies or duplications.

192

     8.  Each local government shall update its intergovernmental

193

coordination element based upon the findings in the report

194

submitted pursuant to subparagraph 6. The report may be used as

195

supporting data and analysis for the intergovernmental

196

coordination element.

197

     (j)  For each unit of local government within an urbanized

198

area designated for purposes of s. 339.175, a transportation

199

element, which shall be prepared and adopted in lieu of the
