Cities will also forward to the DCPS all residential subdivision reviews as part of the
commenting agency review.
6.3 After notification by the Cities, the DCPS representative will advise the chief planning
official for the appropriate City of the school enrollment impacts anticipated to result
from the proposed land use application or development proposal. The comments will in-
clude whether sufficient permanent capacity exists or is planned to accommodate the im-
pacts, based on the Five-Year District Facilities Work Program. School capacity will be
reported following DOE criteria. All comments submitted by the DCPS shall become a

• part of the official record of the comprehensive plan amendment, rezoning or develop-
ment proposal.

available or planned to serve the development at the time of impact, the DCPS will spec-
ify how it proposes to meet the anticipated student enrollment demand. The DCPS pro-
posals to meet such demand shall be based on the facilities work program adopted pursu-
ant to Chapter 1013.35, F.S.

Interlocal Agreement for Joint Facility Planning
Executive Summary
The Jacksonville City Council and the Duval County School Board established the
Joint Planning Committee in March 2001 to serve as an advisory body to both the
Board and the Council in matters relating to the selection and utilization of any and
all sites for schools, libraries, parks and community centers. This committee was
formed with the unified belief that joint advanced planning is beneficial and cost
effective to all parties involved.
Additionally, the 2002 Legislature amended Sections 163.31777 and 1013.35,
Florida Statutes to require each county and school district to "enter into an
interlocal agreement to coordinate their respective land and education facilities
planning processes." The Interlocal Agreement between the City of Jacksonville,
the four independent municipalities (Atlantic Beach, Baldwin, Jacksonville Beach,
and Baldwin), and the Duval County School Board was drafted through the efforts
of the Committee members and the Resource staff for the approval of the six
governing bodies. It is required to be submitted to the Florida Department of
Community Affairs by July 1, 2003.
SAccording to the agreement, the City Councils or Commissions and the School
Board will meet at least once per year in a joint workshop session to set direction,
discuss issues, and reach understandings on issues of mutual concern including
the coordination of land use and school and other public facilities planning. The
agreement also defines a consistent method for projections of the amount, type
and distribution of population growth and student enrollment.
Also outlined in the interlocal agreement are the methods by which the Cities and
Duval County Public Schools will coordinate and share information. A Technical
Advisory Committee, comprised of various Cities' staff & other technical advisors,
will work with the Duval County Public Schools staff to explore co-location and joint
use opportunities among schools, parks, libraries and community centers.
Quarterly meetings will provide ongoing planning and collaboration for both
existing and future schools sites and determine the infrastructure improvements
necessary.
The School Board will appoint a representative to serve as a non-voting member
on the local planning agencies (LPA) of the five cities. All land use amendments
and rezoning proposals that may affect student enrollment projections or school
facilities will be provided to the School Board's representative. In turn, the Duval
County Public Schools staff will communicate the anticipated impact from the
proposed land use application or development proposal and how it proposes to
• meet the anticipated student enrollment demand.

•
Both co-location and joint use opportunities will be considered for schools,
libraries, parks, recreation facilities, community centers, auditoriums, learning
centers, museums, performing arts centers, and stadiums. The intent of the
agreement is to continue to explore innovative and creative ways to facilitate good
public facility planning for the benefit to everyone.
The Joint Planning Committee will continue in its capacity to provide a review and
coordination of the activities covered in the Interlocal Agreement. In addition, the
Committee will explore creative funding sources for construction and maintenance
of educational facilities, investigate opportunities for alternative uses of
underutilized schools, and identify barriers to good planning and solicit
recommendations for improvement. Best practices in planning around the state
and the country will continue to be researched in order to ultimately provide a
model for effective planning that will benefit the future of all our citizens.

Joint Planning Committee
The Joint Planning Committee met for the first time on June 28, 2002. Since that
time, the Committee has met 18 times with the majority of participants attending. A
mission statement and goals were adopted on July 12, 2002. The Committee
accepted the task of writing the interlocal agreement that has been mandated by
the 2002 legislature and must be submitted to the Department of Community
Affairs by July 1, 2003.
A work structure was adopted that divided the work into six topic areas. Each area
had a chair who worked with his or her subcommittee to write the assigned section
of the agreement. The full Committee reviewed and adopted each section and
ultimately the agreement. The Committee also hosted hearings for public review
• and comment.
In addition to the focus on the interlocal agreement, the Committee has explored
alternatives to doing business as usual. Speakers have shared interesting
information from around the state.
