     Between line(s) 3194 and 3195

6

insert:

7

8

Section 19.  Paragraph (a) of subsection (4), paragraphs (a) and

9

(h) of subsection (6), and paragraph (e) of subsection (7) of

10

section 163.3177, Florida Statutes, are amended to read:

11

     163.3177  Required and optional elements of comprehensive

12

plan; studies and surveys.--

13

     (4)(a)  Coordination of the local comprehensive plan with

14

the comprehensive plans of adjacent municipalities, the county,

15

adjacent counties, or the region; with the appropriate water

16

management district's regional water supply plans approved

17

pursuant to s. 373.0361; with adopted rules pertaining to

18

designated areas of critical state concern; with the school

19

district's educational facilities plan approved pursuant to s.

20

1013.35; and with the state comprehensive plan shall be a major

21

objective of the local comprehensive planning process. To that

22

end, in the preparation of a comprehensive plan or element

23

thereof, and in the comprehensive plan or element as adopted, the

24

governing body shall include a specific policy statement

25

indicating the relationship of the proposed development of the

26

area to the comprehensive plans of adjacent municipalities, the

27

county, adjacent counties, or the region and to the state

28

comprehensive plan, as the case may require and as such adopted

29

plans or plans in preparation may exist.

30

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

31

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

32

elements:

33

     (a)  A future land use plan element designating proposed

34

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

35

land for residential uses, commercial uses, industry,

36

agriculture, recreation, conservation, education, public

37

buildings and grounds, other public facilities, and other

38

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

39

encouraged to designate rural land stewardship areas, pursuant to

40

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

41

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

42

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

43

in the control and distribution of population densities and

44

building and structure intensities. The proposed distribution,

45

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

46

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

47

supplemented by goals, policies, and measurable objectives. The

48

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

49

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

50

accommodate anticipated growth; the projected population of the

51

area; the character of undeveloped land; the availability of

52

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

53

redevelopment, including the renewal of blighted areas and the

54

elimination of nonconforming uses which are inconsistent with the

55

character of the community; the compatibility of uses on lands

56

adjacent to or closely proximate to military installations; and,

57

in rural communities, the need for job creation, capital

58

investment, and economic development that will strengthen and

59

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

60

designate areas for future planned development use involving

61

combinations of types of uses for which special regulations may

62

be necessary to ensure development in accord with the principles

63

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

64

land use plan element shall include criteria to be used to

65

achieve the compatibility of adjacent or closely proximate lands

66

with military installations. In addition, for rural communities,

67

the amount of land designated for future planned industrial use

68

shall be based upon surveys and studies that reflect the need for

69

job creation, capital investment, and the necessity to strengthen

70

and diversify the local economies, and shall not be limited

71

solely by the projected population of the rural community. The

72

future land use plan of a county may also designate areas for

73

possible future municipal incorporation. The land use maps or map

74

series shall generally identify and depict historic district

75

boundaries and shall designate historically significant

76

properties meriting protection. For coastal counties, the future

77

land use element must include, without limitation, regulatory

78

incentives and criteria that encourage the preservation of

79

recreational and commercial working waterfronts as defined in s.

80

342.07. The future land use element must clearly identify the

81

land use categories in which public schools are an allowable use.

82

When delineating the land use categories in which public schools

83

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

84

categories sufficient land proximate to residential development

85

to meet the projected needs for schools in coordination with

86

public school boards and may establish differing criteria for

87

schools of different type or size. Each local government shall

88

include lands contiguous to existing school sites, to the maximum

89

extent possible, within the land use categories in which public

90

schools are an allowable use. The failure by a local government

91

to comply with these school siting requirements will result in

92

the prohibition of the local government's ability to amend the

93

local comprehensive plan, except for plan amendments described in

94

s. 163.3187(1)(b), until the school siting requirements are met.

95

Amendments proposed by a local government for purposes of

96

identifying the land use categories in which public schools are

97

an allowable use are exempt from the limitation on the frequency

98

of plan amendments contained in s. 163.3187. The future land use

99

element shall include criteria that encourage the location of

100

schools proximate to urban residential areas to the extent

101

possible and shall require that the local government seek to

102

collocate public facilities, such as parks, libraries, and

103

community centers, with schools to the extent possible and to

104

encourage the use of elementary schools as focal points for

105

neighborhoods. The plan shall not impose design standards, site

106

plan standards, or other development conditions that exceed or

107

are inconsistent with the requirements of chapter 1013 and any

108

state requirements for educational facilities or that are

109

inconsistent with maintaining a balanced, financially feasible

110

school district facilities work plan. For schools serving

111

predominantly rural counties, defined as a county with a

112

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

113

shall be eligible for the location of public school facilities if

114

the local comprehensive plan contains school siting criteria and

115

the location is consistent with such criteria. Local governments

116

required to update or amend their comprehensive plan to include

117

criteria and address compatibility of adjacent or closely

118

proximate lands with existing military installations in their

119

future land use plan element shall transmit the update or

120

amendment to the department by June 30, 2006.

121

     (h)1.  An intergovernmental coordination element showing

122

relationships and stating principles and guidelines to be used in

123

the accomplishment of coordination of the adopted comprehensive

124

plan with the plans of school boards, regional water supply

125

authorities, and other units of local government providing

126

services but not having regulatory authority over the use of

127

land, with the comprehensive plans of adjacent municipalities,

128

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

129

comprehensive plan and with the applicable regional water supply

130

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

131

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

132

element of the local comprehensive plan shall demonstrate

133

consideration of the particular effects of the local plan, when

134

adopted, upon the development of adjacent municipalities, the

135

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

136

comprehensive plan, as the case may require.

137

     a.  The intergovernmental coordination element shall provide

138

for procedures to identify and implement joint planning areas,

139

especially for the purpose of annexation, municipal

140

incorporation, and joint infrastructure service areas.

141

     b.  The intergovernmental coordination element shall provide

142

for recognition of campus master plans prepared pursuant to s.

143

1013.30 and the school district's educational facilities plan

144

approved pursuant to s. 1013.35.

145

     c.  The intergovernmental coordination element may provide

146

for a voluntary dispute resolution process as established

147

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

148

intergovernmental disputes. A local government may develop and

149

use an alternative local dispute resolution process for this

150

purpose.

151

     2.  The intergovernmental coordination element shall further

152

state principles and guidelines to be used in the accomplishment

153

of coordination of the adopted comprehensive plan with the plans

154

of school boards and other units of local government providing

155

facilities and services but not having regulatory authority over

156

the use of land. In addition, the intergovernmental coordination

157

element shall describe joint processes for collaborative planning

158

and decisionmaking on population projections and public school

159

siting, the location and extension of public facilities subject

160

to concurrency, and siting facilities with countywide

161

significance, including locally unwanted land uses whose nature

162

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

163

adopting their intergovernmental coordination elements, each

164

county, all the municipalities within that county, the district

165

school board, and any unit of local government service providers

166

in that county shall establish by interlocal or other formal

167

agreement executed by all affected entities, the joint processes

168

described in this subparagraph consistent with their adopted

169

intergovernmental coordination elements.

170

     3.  To foster coordination between special districts and

171

local general-purpose governments as local general-purpose

172

governments implement local comprehensive plans, each independent

173

special district must submit a public facilities report to the

174

appropriate local government as required by s. 189.415.

175

     4.a.  Local governments must execute an interlocal agreement

176

with the district school board, the county, and nonexempt

177

municipalities pursuant to s. 163.31777. The local government

178

shall amend the intergovernmental coordination element to provide

179

that coordination between the local government and school board

180

is pursuant to the agreement and shall state the obligations of

181

the local government under the agreement.

182

     b.  Plan amendments that comply with this subparagraph are

183

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

184

     5.  The state land planning agency shall establish a

185

schedule for phased completion and transmittal of plan amendments

186

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

187

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

188

government may complete and transmit its plan amendments to carry

189

out these provisions prior to the scheduled date established by

190

the state land planning agency. The plan amendments are exempt

191

from the provisions of s. 163.3187(1).

192

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

193

greater than 100,000, and the municipalities and special

194

districts within that county, shall submit a report to the

195

Department of Community Affairs which:

196

     a.  Identifies all existing or proposed interlocal service

197

delivery agreements regarding the following: education; sanitary

198

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

199

and recreation; and transportation facilities.

200

     b.  Identifies any deficits or duplication in the provision

201

of services within its jurisdiction, whether capital or

202

operational. Upon request, the Department of Community Affairs

203

shall provide technical assistance to the local governments in

204

identifying deficits or duplication.

205

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

206

Department of Community Affairs shall, through the appropriate

207

regional planning council, coordinate a meeting of all local

208

governments within the regional planning area to discuss the

209

reports and potential strategies to remedy any identified

210

deficiencies or duplications.

211

     8.  Each local government shall update its intergovernmental

212

coordination element based upon the findings in the report

213

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

214

supporting data and analysis for the intergovernmental

215

coordination element.

216

     (7)  The comprehensive plan may include the following

217

additional elements, or portions or phases thereof:

218

     (e)  A public buildings and related facilities element

219

showing locations and arrangements of civic and community

220

centers, public schools, hospitals, libraries, police and fire

221

stations, and other public buildings. This plan element should

222

show particularly how it is proposed to effect coordination with

223

governmental units, such as school boards or hospital

224

authorities, having public development and service

225

responsibilities, capabilities, and potential but not having land

226

development regulatory authority. This element may include plans

227

for architecture and landscape treatment of their grounds, except

228

that, for public school facilities, the element shall be

229

coordinated with the public school facilities element required by

230

s. 163.3177(12) and the interlocal agreement required by s.

231

163.31777 and may not impose design standards, site plan

232

standards, or other development conditions that are inconsistent

233

with the requirements of chapter 1013 and any state requirements

234

for educational facilities or that are inconsistent with

235

maintaining a balanced, financially feasible school district

236

facilities work plan.

237

     Section 20.  Paragraph (d) of subsection (2) of section

238

163.31777, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:

239

     163.31777  Public schools interlocal agreement.--

240

     (2)  At a minimum, the interlocal agreement must address

241

interlocal-agreement requirements in s. 163.3180(13)(g), except

242

for exempt local governments as provided in s. 163.3177(12), and

243

must address the following issues:

244

     (d)  A process for determining the need for and timing of

245

onsite and offsite improvements to support new, proposed

246

expansion, or redevelopment of existing schools. The process must

247

address identification of the party or parties responsible for

248

the improvements. A local government may not impose design

249

standards, site plan standards, or other development conditions

250

that are inconsistent with the requirements of chapter 1013 and

251

any state requirements for educational facilities or that are

252

inconsistent with maintaining a balanced, financially feasible

253

school district facilities work plan.

254

     Section 21.  Subsection (13), subsection (15) of section

255

1013.33, Florida Statutes, are amended to read:

256

     1013.33  Coordination of planning with local governing

257

bodies.--

258

     (13)  A local governing body may not deny the site applicant

259

based on adequacy of the site plan as it relates solely to the

260

needs of the school. If the site is consistent with the

261

comprehensive plan's land use policies and categories in which

262

public schools are identified as allowable uses, the local

263

government may not deny the application but it may impose

264

reasonable development standards and conditions in accordance

265

with s. 1013.51(1) and consider the site plan and its adequacy as

266

it relates to environmental concerns, health, safety and welfare,

267

and effects on adjacent property. Standards and conditions may

268

not be imposed that exceed or which conflict with those

269

established in this chapter, any state requirements for

270

educational facilities, or the Florida Building Code, unless

271

mutually agreed and consistent with the interlocal agreement

272

required by subsections (2)-(8) and consistent with maintaining a

273

balanced, financially feasible school district facilities work

274

plan.

275

     (15)  Existing schools shall be considered consistent with

276

the applicable local government comprehensive plan adopted under

277

part II of chapter 163. If a board submits an application to

278

expand an existing school site, the local governing body may

279

impose reasonable development standards and conditions on the

280

expansion only, and in a manner consistent with s. 1013.51(1) and

281

any state requirements for education facilities. Standards and

282

conditions may not be imposed that exceed which conflict with

283

those established in this chapter or the Florida Building Code,

284

unless mutually agreed upon. Such agreement must be made with the

285

consideration of maintaining the financial feasibility of the

286

school district facilities work plan. Local government review or

287

approval is not required for:

288

     (a)  The placement of temporary or portable classroom

289

facilities; or

290

     (b)  Proposed renovation or construction on existing school

291

sites, with the exception of construction that changes the

292

primary use of a facility, includes stadiums, or results in a

293

greater than 5 percent increase in student capacity, or as

294

mutually agreed upon, pursuant to an interlocal agreement adopted

295

in accordance with subsections (2)-(8).
