REQUEST: The Community Development Department requests the City Commission review the compiled list of directives and priorities derived from the recently adopted Comprehensive Plan. PURPOSE: To assure that land development regulations implement and are consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. (s. 163.3213(1), F.S.) APPLICABLE LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY: Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, specifically Section 163.3194 Florida Statutes (Legal Status of Comprehensive Plan) Section 163.3202 Florida Statutes (Land Development Regulations) Section 163.3213 Florida Statutes (Administrative Review of Land Development Regulations) Rule 9J -5, specifically Rule 9- J5.022, Florida Administrative Code (Standards for Review of Land Development Regulations) Winter Springs Comprehensive Plan, adopted September 28, 2009 CONSIDERATIONS: The recently adopted Comprehensive Plan serves as a statement of planning policy and the foundation for future development- related decisions in the City. It defines the type, location and appearance of community growth and development in the City through 2030. It is the City's responsibility to assure that land development regulations implement and are consistent with the local comprehensive plan. (s. 163.3213(1), F.S.) Winter Springs is required within one (1) year of adoption of the Comprehensive Plan amendments to adopt or amend land development regulations that are consistent with and implement our adopted comprehensive plan. (s. 163.3202, F.S. and 9J- 5.022, F.A.C.) After this time, any substantially affected person may challenge a land development regulation on the 1 November 9, 2009 City Commission Informational Agenda Item 101 basis that it is inconsistent with the local comprehensive plan after this one year period. (s. 163.3213(3), F.S.) When such a challenge occurs, the City is faced with the expense of defending itself. Ultimately the resolution of the challenge is the adoption or amendment of the land development regulation in question. City staff prefers the proactive approach to meeting the state mandate. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Commission review and acquaint themselves with the compiled list of land development regulations needed to be implemented either as a directive of the adopted Comprehensive Plan or that are needed to maintain consistency between the Comprehensive Plan and the and development regulations, as well as the list of study, workshop, or interlocal agreement required, as these are items that Staff will be working on over the next year.
