DCA
Planning Horizon- Short term 2013 and Long Term 2030:
In order to clarify the long term planning horizon,
All references to the Future Land Use Map have been revised to include 2030 in the title, i.e.
Future Land Use Map - 2030
All references to the Future Transportation Map have been revised to include 2030 in the title, i.e.
Future Transportation Map - 2030
Infrastructure Element, Table IV-D-1: Capacity, Demand and County Level of Service (relating to
solid waste), has been revised to include the City's correct short term (2013) and long term (2030)
planning horizons.
Specific references to the long term planning horizon have been added for further clarification in
Future Land Use Element, GOAL 1: Quality of Life. To ensure that the character, magnitude, and
location of all land uses provides a system for orderly growth and development (as defined in
sections 163.3221 and 380.04, Florida Statutes) that achieves a balanced, natural, energy
efficient, and economic environment, and enhances the quality of life of all residents throughout
and beyond the 2030 planning horizon.
Supporting data references to a 2012 forecast have been revised to reflect the correct short term
planning horizon of 2013. Affected elements include:
Future Land Use Element pages: I-bb and I-67
Transportation Element (section on Current Roadway Performance and Future Roadway
Performance) pages: II- 41 and II-44
Implementation of Code Revisions:
Reference to code revisions being implemented by 2012 have been removed for compliance with
statutory requirements. Affected policies include:
Housing Element, Policy 1.8.10

District ( ,
tThe 1.0 FAR can be exceeded through the use of development bonuses,
but the total FAR shall not exceed 2.0.)
Future Land Use Element, Policy 3.2.4: Intensity and Building Height. Encourage higher intensity
development in the GID by requiring buildings to include at least two (2) stories of occupiable
space (as defined in Florida Building Code, Chapter 2) and allowing a FAR up to 1.0.
Development bonuses allowing a higher FAR, may be granted based on the criteria described in
Future land Use Element, Policy 3.2.5
A new policy has been inserted after Future Land Use Element, Policy 3.2.4 which describes the
Criteria for Density Bonuses, resulting in Future Land Use Element, Policies 3.2.5 and 3.2.6 being
renumbered to 3.2.6 and 3.2.7.
[New Policy) Future Land Use Element, Policy 3.2.5: Development bonuses which allow a higher

Interchange District which demonstrate environmental stewardship through one or more of the
following:
• Environmentally-sensitive site planning (Cross Reference: See Conservation Element, Policy 1.8.2);
• Green building design and energy efficient buildings as determined by USGBC LEED
Certification or equivalent;
• Incorporation of Low Impact Development (LID) practices, such as green roofs capture and
use of stormwater for irrigation and/or other grey water type uses, and rain gardens
(Cross Reference: See Conservation Element, Policy 1.3.4);
• Energy efficient land use which minimizes impervious surfaces, such as inclusion of one or
more parking garages (Cross Reference: See Conservation Element, Policy 1.8.1);
• Restoration or enhancement of degraded wetlands, native ecosystems, or preservation of
extra upland buffers around critical habitat (Cross Reference: See Conservation Element, Policy
1.7.2); and
