The future of Florida can hold the same promises it always has t..... a paradise filled with balmy weather, educational opportunities, good jobs and great places [0 live. Keeping the promise suscainable in the midst of change - new executive leadership, legislative term limi~, burgeoning population and con- stitutional changes - is critical co fulfilling what this state has lived up co for so long. This venture can be framed by five reach- able themes - strengthen the foundation, fo- cus the money. strive for sustainabiliry, pre- vention pays. and corridors for IDe future.

Statewide Uniform Building Code - CS/CSIHB 4181 Establishes a single, statewide code to be known as the Florida Building Code effective January I, 2001. This bill codifies a majority of the recommendations of the Governor's Building Code Study Commission. The Florida Building Code will: o Deteimine the design and construction of Florida's public and private built environment (fire prevention, life safety and accessibility standards will remain intact under direction of the Legislature); o Be adopted and updated by the Florida Building Commission; o Be enforced by local government building departments (exceptions to local enforcement: boilers, amusement rides and public schools); o Take into account Florida's unique characteristics such as soil, wind and occupancies when selecting other model codes for Florida application; and o Contain provisions for procedures for plan review and inspections. The Board of Building Codes & Standards (July I, 1998), was renamed the Florida Building Commission. The Commission will have 23 members - 17 from the previous board and 5 new members to include a chainnan and representatives of: local government; building products manufacturers; building owners and managers; and the insurance industry. The Florida Building Commission will develop: a Building Code Training Program in consultation with other related state agencies; a product evaluation system; a document describing the roles of the licensed design professional, residential designer, contractor, and local building and fire officials; and through the Department of Community Affairs, a Mutual Aid Program to provide necessary technical assistance for the rebuilding of an area hit by a disaster. Additional significant features of the Statewide Uniform Building Code are: o Establishment of a licensee accountability system necessary to link licensing with code enforcement; and o The requirement that the Department of Business & Professional Regulation implement an Automated Infonnation System (no later than November 1,1999) which will contain infonnation pertaining to all state and locally licensed contractors and state registered design professionals. Clean Air- sa 812 - Effective May 24, 1998 Provides the Florida Department of Community Affairs, Division of Emergency Management with the . necessary authority and resources to implement provisions of SectionI12(r) of the federal Clean Air Act for specified sources.

By December31, 1999,local governments are required [0 include these new requirements in rheir comprehensive plans. Particularly in me case of annexations, mu- nicipal incorporation and joint infrastructure service areas, Section 163.3177(6)(h) La., di- rects the ICE ~o establish procedures to iden- tifY and implement joint planning areas OPAl. Section 163.3177(6)(h) Lb., requires the ICE to recognize campus master plans. Section l63.3l77(6)(h)Lc.. specifies that the ICE may provide a yolumary dispute resolution process. Coordination of the adopted comprehen- sive plan with the plans of school boards and other unitsofloca1 government is required (Sec- tion 163.3177(6)(h)2., ES.). The ICE must state the principles and guidelines co be used (0 coordinate the adopted comprehensive plan with the plans of school boards and other units oflocal government that provide facilities and services bur which do not have regulacory au- thority over the use ofland. In addition, the ICE must describe joint processes for: collabo- rative planning and decision-making relating ro population projections; public school sit- ing; location and extension of public facilities subject co concurrency; and the siting offucili- ties with county-wide significance (including locally unwanted land uses). The section fur- ther provides that within one year after adop- tion of the ICE, each COlIDty, all municipali- ties in the couney. the school board, and local government service providers shall establish by interlocal or other formal agreement the joint processes as described in the subparagraph. These joint processes must be consisrencwith the adopted ICE elements. PAGE 2 COMMUNITY PLANNING . SUMMER 1998 Finally, Section 163.3177(6)(h)3., ES., requires that each independent special district must submit a public facilities report to the appropriate local government. Section 163.3l77(6)(h)4., ES., directs that all local governments are to have adopted amendments to implement the above sections by Decem- ber 31, 1999. These amendments will be exempt from the twice-per-year limit for amendments. Why Must local Governments Establish Procedures to Identify and Implement JPAs? In recent years, several local governmems have recognized the importance ofidemify- ing joint planning areas and the benefits of interlocal agreements to resolve intergovern- mental disputes. The identification ofJPAs and the subsequent agreements have greatly assisted local governments in planning for and managing public facilities and services, and in coordinating land use decisions such as those involving annexations. As a result of not identifYing JPAs, many local governments find themselves confronted by development proposals that will cause sig- nificant extra-jurisdictional impacts, includ- ing negative effects upon the local government's ability to plan for future devel- opment and the provision of utilities. Further- more, the significant economic consequences resulting from the expense of providing infra- structure outside the JPA, and the COSts of such negative impacts would have to be borne by the citizens. Identifying joint planning areas and entering into imerloca1 agreements affords the public and landholders some certainty as to how property will be developed in the JPA. Both jurisdictions will be assured that their respective comprehensive plans will be imple- mented. Additionally, the JPA provides formal conflict resolution procedures to reduce future disputes and sets up a process to mitigate sig- nificant extra-jurisdictional impactS. Technical Assistance Workshops Beginning in September 1998, local gov- ernments will have an opportunity to learn more about the new ICE requirements at the technical assisranceworkshops that the Depart- ment ofCommuniry Affairs will be conduct- ing in several locations throughout the state. Once the schedule is finalized, local govern- ments will be notified. For more information, contact Jim Quinn, Chief, Bureau of State Plan- ning ar (850)488-4925. Signed Interlocal Agreements - Know of Any More? The Department of Community Affairs will be keeping a file of signed InterlocalAgreements to be used as a resourcefor}ocal governments.

The challenged amendment designates part of Oint Moore Road as a consaained road- way under the County's transportation plan- ning process exclusively for a developmem known as the DelrayTraining Center, until the segmenr can be four-laned. Under rite desig- nation, the subject development can tempo- rarily meet concurrency requirements based upon a level of service E The challengers alleged a variety of defi- ciencies, including that the amendment was inconsistent with Plan provisions governing the County's Agricultural Reserve, would con- stiture urban sprawl, was contrary to concurrency requirements, was inconsistent with neighborhood and community character in the vicinity and was not justified by data and analysis. The Department had determined that the amendment was "in compliance" and the hear- ing was therefore conducted under the "fairly debarable" standard in Section 163.3184(9), Florida StaNtes.

Administration Commission Approves Miami-Dade County's Reuse Plan For Homestead Air Force Base with Amendments and Conditions - Appeal Filed with District Court Sierra Club, Inc.. et at. v. Miami-Dade ~ AC Case No. MBR-98-00 1 (Admin- istrarion Commission, April 23, 1998). On March 24, 1998, rhe Administration Commission considered the Deparunem's Janu- ary 2 I, 1998, report on rhe challenges to rhe Miami-Dade County's Homestead Air Force Base Reuse Plan, and a March 6, 1998, Peti- tion for Formal Administrative Hearing filed by Sierra Club, Inc. and rhe Tropical Audubon Society.

After the County adopted the base reuse comprehensive plan amendments uncler the optional process, mediation and informal hear- ings were conducted to attempt to resolve con- cerns by environmental groups, Biscayne Na- tional Park, Everglades National Park, rhe Sourh Florida Water Management District and the South Florida Regional Planning Council. Both the Departmem and the Adminis- tration Commission declined [0 grant requests ro refer the matter co the Division of Adminis- trative Hearings for formal proceedings. The Final Order grants approval for no more than 530,000 square feer of develop- ment to the north-northwest of the existing runway, including 180,000 square feet of re- development. No development may com- mence until submission and approval of a stormwater management plan, a wildlife/habi- tat management and mitigation plan, and a noise management and mitigation plan.

Must contain criteria to 1) locate schools proximate to urban residential areas; and 2) collocate schools with other public facilities; . new and existing requirements mmmmmmmm mmm r..l mmm LbL -I L -.-J related to school planning and siting must be met by October 1999; . Failure to comply will result in a prohibition to amend the comprehensive plans. The amendment also provides more detailed and specific requirements for school concurrency, if imposed by lo- cal government option: . A School Facilities Element, based on data and analysis, which includes goals, objectives and policies; . Level of service (LOS) standards; .

Effective June 1998, Charles joined 1000 Ftiends of Flotida as theit Executive Di- rector, filling the post vacated by Patti McKay who is relocating to Australia to join her family. A graduate of the Re- gional Planning Ptogram at the Univer- sity of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, Charles has had a wide range of planning experience in Florida. North Carolina and Virginia. He started his career as a planner with the South Florida Regional Planning Council. Subsequently, Charles worked with the North Catolina coastal ptogram and larer returned to Florida where he held several positions including Manager of the Florida Keys Area of Critical State Concern and Planning Di- rector for Montoe County. He then served as field representative for the Na- cure Conservancy on the Eastern Shore of Virginia prior to recurning to 'the De- partment of Community Affairs as Di- tector of the 80 person Division of Re, source Planning and Management. Established in 1986, the goal of 1000 Friends of Florida is: To ensur< development of communities which are rewarding places to live, learn, work and play both now and in the fttur<. Charles Pattison will prove to be an ideal advocate for this noble pursuit! Charles, your friends and former col- leagues at the Department of Community Aff.Urs wish you well! At the recent Growth Management Workshop in Tallahassee, Charles Pattison (center) chats with Wayne Daltry, (I) Executive Director, Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council and Secretary Jim Murley (r). A Message from Charles Pattison... Florida will soon become the third largest state in the nation. We need growth manage- ment now more than ever. But we have to do a better job of demonstrating why it does more for narural resource protection, affordable hous- ing, and more efficient, less expensive land developmenc patterns than the alternative of doing nothing. I believe 1000 Friends of Florida can help get that message out and look forward to working with you to do so. When you look around and realize things are not per- fect, remember how far we have come. Within the Deparrmenc ofCommuniry .Affairs for the first time. pOSt disaster and redevelopmenc planning are finally happening through the fine effores of our [WO sister divisions. The affordable housing programs that are so im- portant to good growth management are in place and firmly grounded in the Sadowski Housing Act. And the highly successful P2000 program. and the Florida Communities Trust programs in particular. are clearlycornerscones of the growth management effort where pro- tecting our natural areas is a critical compo- nent. Florida is scarring to realize that "growth management" means a lot more than Chapters 163 and 380, and 9J-2 and 9J-5. Our chal- lenge is co reinforce that connection, because trying to do this alone with the statutes. for which we are directly responsible, is just not enough. 1 will look forward to working with you to face these challenges. We can all make a differ- ence if we work together, persevere. and don't give up. Remember, what we have, and what we must procect, now and in the furure, are worth fighting for. This is important not only for us, but for the generations thar follow. They will thank us. COMMUNITY PLANNING . SUMMER 1998 PAGE 9 .' liLA'NmNG .' Ask DCA Developments of Regional Impact (DRls) Q Throughour the State of Florida there are developments of regional impact (ORIs) char were approved a number of years ago but have not initiated construction. Ocher ORIs have started consrrucnon but have been inactive for several years. Can new D RI standards be applied to old, previously ap- proved projects? Is chere a procedure ro nullifY an inactive DR!, in whole or in pan, that has not started consrmcrion or Q)mplered consmICC- ion? A Developments of regional impact are auchorized by Section 380.06, Florida Srarures (ES.), which in- cludes the guidelines and criteria for the re- view and approval ofDRI projects. As defined in the statute, a development of regional im- pact "means any development which, because of its character, magnitude. or location, would have a subscannal dfecc upon che hea1ch, safety, or welfare of citizens of more than one county" (380.06(1), ES.). The Administration Commission (Gov- ernor and Cabinet) and the Department of Community Affairs have adopted adminis- trative rules chat elaborate upon and clarifY che provisions of the statute. These rules include Chaprers 28-9 (Variation ro Thresholds for 0 RI Statewide Guidelines and Standards) and 28- 24 (Developments Presumed to be of Regional lmpacc), Florida Administrative Code, adopted by che Administrative Commission, and Chap- ters 9J-2 (Rules of Procedure and Pracrice Per- taining ro ORIs), 9J-3 (Areawide ORIs), and 9J-28 (Rules of Procedure and Practice Per- taining to Florida Quality Developments), F10ridaAdministrative Code (F AC), adopted by che Depanmenr of Community AfF.Ucs. The information for this article is based on Secrion 380.06, ES., and Chapter 9J-2, FAC Substantial Deviations Once a ORl has been approved, the ap- proval remains in effect subject [0 the condi- tions in the development order for the project. The approval can be transferred to new proper- ty owners and is immune from changes in the DRI statutes and rules if significant changes are not proposed to the project. From time to time changes are proposed to an approved ORl. Changes which have a "tea- sonable li~lihood" of additional regional im- pact or ciuse a regional impact not previously reviewed by rhe regional planning agency, are subscamial deviations. Criteria contained in the scacute (see section 380.06(19), ES.) are used to evaluate whether a proposed change, either individually or cumulatively with other changes, constituces a substantial deviation. Proposed changes, such as increases in the den- sity or intensity of the developmenr, that ex- ceed the criteria thresholds constitute substan- tial deviations. Substantial deviations will require that the development undergo additional DRI-impact review subject to the requirements in place at that time. For developments with buildout dates, extending those dates by five or more years may create a substantial deviation subject to DRI-review. Projects approved before 1985 onen did not include construction comple- tion dates (billldout dates). Billldout dares for DRIs were not required until 1985 when the statuce was revised to require them for new ORIs. Extension of the billldout date for a DRI or any phase (porrion) of rhe development by seven years or more is presumed to create a substantial deviation. An extension of at least five years but less than seven years, is presumed to not create a substantial deviation. Both of these presumptions "may be rebutted by dear and convincing evidence at a public hearing held by the local government" (Section 380.06(19)(c), ES.). Extensions ofless chan five years are not considered subsrantial devia- aons. Abandonment and Expirations The process to annul a previously ap- proved DR! is referred to as abandonment in the statute and rules. Abandonmem proce- dures can be initiated by the owner or devel- oper of che 0 RL The/oeal government, where the DRI is located, may also propose to aban- don a DRI "provided that the local govern- mem gives individual written notice to each development-of-regional-impact owner and developer of record, and provided that no such owner or developer objects in writing to the local government prior to or at the public hear- ing pertaining to abandonmem of the devel- opment of regional impact" (Section 380.06(26), ES.). For a DR! that has initiated development prior to abandonment, the abandonmem or- der must include provisions to ensure that any applicable developmenc order conditions are satisfied and that any impacts from the devel- opment are adequately mitigated. If a DRI development order includes an expiration date, all development should be completed by that date. Once the expiration date is reached, no further development of the D RI can occur. The owner or developer of the DRI may request an amendment of the devel- opment order to extend the expiration date. An extension of the expiration date may re- quire furrher DRI review before approval by the local governmem, and there can be cir- cumstances under which the local government would decline to extend the expiration date. This response presentS a general and brief discussion of substantial deviations and DR! abandonment procedures. For a more com- plete understanding of chese issues and the ORl program, Section 380.06, ES., and che administrative rules cited earlier should be con- sulted. Funhermore, their application and rel- evance need to be evaluated along with the conditions specific to individual DRI projects.

The Department is slated to go online with its performance based budgering in 2001. Now is also the rime for the Srare's 11 Regional Planning Councils to become more involved in the budgeting process and to suggest pri- orities for state dollars that further regional and local plans, in their planning regions. We musr also accept thar the growrh man- agement process in our state is a fluid one. It can be improved upon through review com- mittees, like those created for intergovernmen- tal coordinarion and the Evaluation and Ap- praisal Report, and one just created to review transportation and land use issues. An Envi- ronmental Land Management Study Com- mittee (IV) may be appropriate in the next decade. Growth management can continue co be a dynamic force in Florida. One of the major changes we will face as a state in November will be the outcome of changes recommended by the Constitutional Revision Commission. They stand to rumble the very core of our government structure. We must be prepared for whatever changes happen in that arena. Focus the Money One of the benefits of a growing economy is the opportunity to direct state funds for local initiatives. This true fiscal partnership could be facilitared by coordinating any stare or federal funds going to local governments through DCA. Serious consideration should be given ro shifting funds whose primary as- sistance address quality of life for communi- ties, recreation, historic preservation and cul- ture, to the agency whose mission it is to help communities - DCA. If the state funds a local government, a good argument can be made for those funds to come through DCA. The benefit to this is a holistic effort to build quality communities. There would no longer be situations where individual prob- lems are being addressed to the detriment of the larger issues communities are facing. This approach would also provide the op- portunity for single state audirs for local gov- ernments across Florida. Strive for Sustainabillty It's nOt enough to do JUSt the minimum required by our planning laws. There must be incentive to strive for sustainabilicy - that balance between economic, environmental and human tolls exacted on our surround- ings. Through rhe work of the Susrainable Communities Network which continues to grow today, and the Governor's Council for a Sustainable Florida we continue to help indi- vidual communities define sustainability. The Network, originally comprised of the 28 communities who applied to be part of the demonstration project, provides a roundtable of ideas and initiatives for com- munities to draw on. The Network's infor- mation is accessible to anyone with access to the Internet: www.sustainableA.state.us The Governor's Council is creating indi- cators, recognizing the need for a restoration plan for urban and natural environment for the state. Through indicators, the Council will develop criteria and measurement tools for assessing progress toward sustainability, especially within the private sector, and create incentives and offer recognition, through awards programs and other means, to those demonstrating leadership towards sustainability. In South Florida, the Governor's Com- mission for a Sustainable South Florida, a 50-member public/private panel, meets monthly to bring sustainability to the Ever- glades and surrounding urban areas of five million-plus people. While we may not all know or even agree about what "sustainabilicy" is, one thing is certain. It is not something that can be con- strained by the volumes of statute or reams of rules. Sustainability is a goal to work to- wards individually, as communities and as a state. Prevention Pays Reaction has been the primary action of the department over the last 25 years - wait- ing to react to the storm, to a comprehensive plan amendment or to an application for CDBG funds. To become good.stewards of the land, we must turn the tide and become proactive. While we will never prevent mother nature from wielding her wrath, we can prepare and prevent wholesale destruction through efforts like "Breaking rhe Cycle." And through ef- forts of the Sustainable Communities Dem- onstration Project, neighborhood redevelop- ment, urban revitalization and Florida Com- munities Trust, we can tackle issues sooner than later. We can prevent problems, reduce crime, avoid disaster and preserve land. Corridors for the Future Florida is crisscrossed by miles of inter- state highway connecting our communities, our tourists destinations, our international airports and deep water seaports. They are the vital links that keep our economy vibrant, mobilize our tOurists and transport goods. We must focus attention on the sustainability of these corridors and opporrunities to pro- vide future jobs, alignments for new trans- portation technologies, such as high speed rail, and the rejuvenation of brown field sites. Initiatives such as the I-95 Eastward Ho! cor- ridor and the 1-4 High Technology corridor offer good examples of public/private part- nerships for building on the dynamic oppor- tunities present in the corridors of Florida's future. With these five themes, those promises will continue to prove true. And Florida will grow into a future that is sustainable. A fu- ture that is balanced. Where residents are safe and sheltered. Where communities are vi- brant places to live and work.. Where resources are balanced. Where we are a disaster-resis- tant, sustainable state. COMMUNITY PLANNING .
