DATE: February 27, 2007
• BACKGROUND: Chapter 163.3187, Florida Statutes limits the adoption of large-scale
Comprehensive Plan amendments to twice per calendar year. As such, proposed amendments, both
those initiated by private parties and those initiated by the local government, are typically sent to the
Department of Community Affairs collectively with one transmittal public hearing to consider all
semi-annual applications. The City has three proposed amendments, including one map amendment
requested by the Selva Marina Country Club and (unrelated) amendments to the text of the Capital
Improvements and Intergovernmental Coordination Elements of the 2015 Comprehensive Plan,
which are initiated by the City.
The large-scale amendment process, per State law, consists of two phases, the Proposed Phase and
the Adoption Phase. During this current Proposed Phase, public hearings are held by the
Community Development Board and the City Commission. If the City Commission makes a
,~ decision to transmit the proposed amendments, they are then sent to the Department of Community
Affairs (DCA). Copies are also sent to other reviewing agencies including the Regional Planning
Council, Water Management District, Department of Transportation, Department of Environmental
~„ Protection, Department of State and Duval County. (In the case that the proposed amendments are
not transmitted, no further action related to the proposed amendments may be taken.) If transmitted,
each agency will then have 30 days to provide comments bacl: to DCA. Within an additional 30
~,,, days, DCA will issue an Objections, Recommendations and Comments report containing comments
from all agencies.
The City may then proceed to the Adoption Phase. An additional public hearing is required, and the
City has 60 days to adopt, adopt with changes, or not adopt the amendments. If the amendments are
adopted, they are sent back to the state, and DCA will issue a "Notice of Intent" if the amendments
are found to be "In Compliance." No zoning change, related to the Selva Marina Country Club
application could be approved unless-and-until the requested map amendment is approved and
becomes effective pursuant to this process.
