3 A MOTION to approve Option 1 (Streetcar North) as a replacement for the Skyway Extension was made, properly seconded and approved (one opposed and six approved). Chairman Hainline also encouraged everyone to attend the Land Use and Zoning (LUZ) meetings and the Council hearings. Councilman Bill Bishop added that whoever is going to be there and represent the MPTC from the Planning and Development Department will need to be prepared to have a discussion or be ready to answer the issue about where these plans come from and why are they there. Mr. Bill Killingsworth, Director of the Planning and Development Department, talked about the May 6 th State Legislature that the House Bill eliminated the language that was in the Mobility Plan that was part of Senate Bill 360. But, it put back language because they repealed 9J-5 which is an Administrative Rule that governs how we can Comp Plan it. They took those aspects and put them in the statute and when you read the statute covering the Land Use Element and the Transportation Element the same language that talks about Mobility Plan is in the two elements. You have to have a Long Range Transportation Plan that you can demonstrate that you are meeting your Performance Standards, etc. Mr. Dylan Reingold, Office of General Council, reported on the Revisions per House Bill 7207 and proposed changes to the Mobility Plan as follows: Capital Improvements Element, CIE Policy o Broad statement of the requirements of the Florida Statutes or Florida Administrative Code, excluding references to transportation or roadway level of services and concurrency. Transportation Element, TE Policy o They kept backlogged and added deficient just in case it goes with the law Mobility Plan o In May 2011, the Florida Legislature enacted House Bill 7207, which proposes to eliminate the designation of the City of Jacksonville as a Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA). However in this step, the City has the opportunity to remove the transportation requirements and replace it with this Mobility. Mr. Reingold asked if the committee would support making the above changes and incorporate that as a part of the amendment at the LUZ Committee next week (Tuesday, May 17 th ). Chairman Hainline stated that they do not want somebody in the State Agency coming back six months from now saying that you did not adopt the specific policy that opts out of concurrency. It is in a paragraph (a narrative) and not actually a policy. He then called for a motion of approval. 3

4 A MOTION for approval to include a specific policy that Jacksonville is opting out of transportation concurrency was made, properly seconded and unanimously approved. Mr. Robert Rhodes also added that proposed and pending should be strikethrough because the Bill is inactive. After discussion, Chairman Hainline called for a motion of approval. A MOTION for approval to strikethrough proposed and add inactive was made, properly seconded and unanimously approved. Chairman Hainline stated that there is a timing gap between when they are going to adopt the Comp Plan Policies that are the Mobility Plan and the actual Implementing Ordinance that will put it into effect, etc. Mr. Reingold reported on the RE: Time gap between the adoption of the Mobility Plan and the implementation of the mobility plan fee as listed: Proposed Options To include a phrase that says the Plan Amendment goes into effect as opposed to the Bill goes into effect. Policies says we are not going to have the mobility fee going into effect until a certain time. There was a lengthy discussion regarding the new plan that the old Fair Share System and Implementing Ordinance for that system stays in place until the effective date in the new Ordinance. Chairman Hainline recommended that they want it in a policy that this new Mobility Plan System does not take effect until the Implementing Ordinance is adopted, and then he called a motion of approval. A MOTION to approve that the effective date of the Mobility Plan and Mobility Fee System will be the effective date of the Implementing Ordinance as upon adopted was made, properly seconded, and unanimously approved. Chairman Hainline discussed the upcoming meeting of the MPTFC to be held Thursdays at 8:30 AM (same location) as outlined: May 19 th - Subcommittee Drafting Meeting o Chapter 655 Concurrency Management and Mobility System Ordinance compared by Dylan Reingold June 2 nd - Subcommittee Drafting Meeting June 9 th - Full Committee (MPTF) Meeting 4
