Item 4E v AGENDA ITEM # 4 E ' NOVEMBER 13, 2006 «~ CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH CITY COMMISSION STAFF REPORT AGENDA ITEM: Approval of Agreement for professional consulting services with the Northeast Florida Regional Planning Council not to exceed $5000 for the purpose of assisting with -~, the preparation and adoption of the Proportionate Fair-Share Ordinance and corresponding update to the City's Concurrency Management System. SUBMITTED BY: Sonya Doerr, AICP ,,~~ Community Development Director DATE: November 2, 2006 BACKGROUND: As previously advised, the City is required to implement certain provisions of ~• SB 360, An Act Relating to Infrastructure Planning and Funding, which was passed by the Florida Legislature in 2005. The first issue to be addressed relates to the transportation concurrency Statutes. All local governments must adopt aproportionate-share ordinance as part of their Concurrency Management System (CMS). The Statutes direct local governments to adopt the prop- share ordinance by December 1, 2006, however, many local governments will adopt later than this date. The consequence of not adopting by 12/01/06 may be that the Department of Community Affairs will not review Comprehensive Plan amendments, but plan amendments are sought so infrequently in the COAB (one time in 15 years), this is not likely to be an immediate concern provided that we proceed with the process in a timely manner. Because this is a highly technical issue, Staff requires assistance with this process and requests authorization to contract with the Northeast Florida Regional Planning Council for such assistance. ~` One of the Council's functions is to provide such technical assistance to local governments. (The Council assisted the City with the preparation of the 2004 update to the Comprehensive Plan.) BUDGET: $5000.00 Comprehensive Planning, Professional Services Account Number 001-1005-515.31-00 RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement for professional consulting services with the Northeast Florida Regional Planning Council not to exceed $5000 for ,~,, the purpose of assisting with the preparation, public hearings and adoption of the Proportionate Fair- .. Share Ordinance and corresponding amendments to the City's Land Development Regulations, specifically the Concurrency Management System.
