32 FLORIDA REGIONAL COUNCILS ASSOCIATION LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT REVIEW FORM 01 Regional Planning Council: Northeast Florida Regional Council Regional Planning Council Item No. Fernandina Beach Transmitted Amendment 17-1ESR Date Mailed to Local Government and State Land Planning Agency: March 3, 2017 Local Government Item No: City of Fernandina Beach Ordinance Pursuant to Section , Florida Statutes, Council review of proposed amendments to local government comprehensive plans is limited to adverse effects on regional resources and facilities identified in the strategic regional policy plan and extra-jurisdictional impacts that would be inconsistent with the comprehensive plan of any affected local government within the region. A written report containing an evaluation of these impacts, pursuant to Section , Florida Statutes, is to be provided to the local government and the state land planning agency within 30 calendar days of receipt of the amendment. DESCRIPTION OF AMENDMENT This tranmittal amendment seeks to make a text amenmdment to the City of Fernandina Beach s Comprehensive Plan. 1) Increase the Density in the Central Business District The proposed text amendment increases the density of the Central Business District (CBD) land use from eight (8) unites per acre to thirty-four (34) units per acre. Additionally, the amendment removes the Density Bonus Incentive Program, which was designed to encourage redevelopment in the City s CRA. 1. ADVERSE EFFECTS TO SIGNIFICANT REGIONAL RESOURCES AND FACILITIES IDENTIFIED IN THE STRATEGIC REGIONAL POLICY PLAN (6)6, Florida Statutes, requires local governments to limit public expenditures that subsidizes development in coastal high hazard areas. Many local comprehensive plans have objectives and policies that limit or restrict residential density, the type of development allowed, establish special building requirements, and place limits on the use of public funds within the CHHA. Only a small portion of the Central Business District is within the Coastal High Hazard Area. Additionally, the City s Comprehensive Plan Policy states: The City shall coordinate coastal area population densities with hurricane evacuation plans. The City shall enforce land development regulations which ensure that land use decisions impacting population density within the Level A evacuation zone, as delineated in the 2010 Northeast Florida Regional Hurricane Evacuation Study, and the category 1 and 2 storm surge inundation zones are coordinated with the County s hurricane evacuation plan and applicable regional or State hurricane evacuation study. 1

33 There is a greater portion of the Central Business District land use that falls within Category 1 and 2 Storm Surge Inundation Zones. Additionally, the entire City is within the Level A Evacuation Zone. The increased density, while not anticipated to be fully built out due to other regulations in place (historic district provisions, zoning restrictions, Florida Building Code and Fire Code) should be coordinated with County Emergency Management to ensure it meets applicable plans. This coordination should be done prior to adoption of the proposed comprehensive plan amendments. 2. EXTRA JURISDICTIONAL IMPACTS INCONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WITHIN THE REGION No extra-jurisdictional impacts regarding suitability or compatibility of adjacent uses that would be inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan of an affected local government were identified. Request a copy of the adopted version of the amendment?

52 FRCA Forward February Page 2 of 8 3/2/2017 Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council Host Regional Transportation Summit On February 16th, the Tampa Bay RPC hosted a regional transportation summit entitled "Innovations in Transportation". More than 200 people attended from the Tampa Bay Region. Featured speakers included the Federal Highway Administration Division Administrator, Florida District 7 Secretary James Christian and Executive Director of the San Diego Association of Governments, MPO's and Transit Authorities Gary Gallegos. Transportation funding and technological innovations were discussed throughout the day. Apalachee Regional Planning Council Assists with Freight Logistics Zone Project The Gulf County Economic Development Coalition identified a need for a Freight Logistics Zone (FLZ) designation which is "...a grouping of activities and infrastructure associated with freight transportation and related services within a defined area around an intermodal logistics center. With funding provided by the Department of Economic Opportunity, the Apalachee RPC has been assisting with the development of the FLZ. The proposed FLZ stretches from the Port of Port St. Joe in Gulf County, through Franklin and Liberty Counties, north into Gadsden County. The system involves intermodal transportation of freight from the Port of Port St. Joe, using the Apalachicola Northern Genesee and Wyoming Rail line connection with the CSX Rail in Chattahoochee and I-10 interchanges in Gadsden County. This zone will allow for connectivity from seaports, airports, rail and highway systems to help increase the flow of freight and increase economic development. A Strategic Sites Inventory was completed which identifies and evaluates parcels within the FLZ that are strategically positioned for future economic development uses. Currently, a draft strategic plan is being written and FLZ maps are being created. Stakeholders in the four counties have been involved since the beginning of the project and continue to participate, providing local knowledge of sites, and feedback on deliverables. The FLZ, coupled with other initiatives, will complement the Port of Port St. Joe and help jumpstart economic development, infrastructure and job creation in the Apalachee RPC region.

53 FRCA Forward February Page 3 of 8 3/2/2017 Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council Hosts Road Diet Workshop The Treasure Coast RPC partnered with the Federal Highway Administration to host a Road Diet Workshop in the Village of Tequesta on February 3 rd. Following a public planning charrette facilitated by the Treasure Coast RPC, the Village of Tequesta and the Town of Jupiter unanimously approved a road diet for a 1.3-mile section of US Hwy 1 through the heart of the community. This segment of roadway will be redesigned from a six-lane highspeed corridor devoid of bicycle facilities to a four-lane roadway with buffered bike lanes, wider sidewalks, paver-block crosswalks, pedestrian-scale lighting, landscaping, and mastarm traffic signals. Functioning as Tequesta's main street, the redesigned US Hwy 1 will provide better access to the growing business district, recreational and cultural facilities, and the County's bicycle/pedestrian network. Funded in part by the Village of Tequesta and the Palm Beach Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), the Treasure Coast RPC planning charrette included the development of a complete streets network through the village, which has experienced a rapid increase of young families with children in recent years. The improvements were incorporated into a programmed roadway resurfacing project, which allowed significant cost savings. The Village of Tequesta US1 Road Diet Project has become a hallmark for roadway reconfigurations state-wide and will provide a connection to the East Coast Greenway, which is a 3,000-mile multi-use corridor running from Calais, Maine to Key West, Florida. The project will also provide improved connections to several unique cultural destinations including Jonathan Dickinson State Park as well as the Jupiter Lighthouse, which is a historic landmark nestled within the Jupiter Lighthouse Outstanding Natural Area. Sponsoring partners for the workshop also included the Village of Tequesta, Palm Beach MPO, and Palm Beach County Palm-Tran.
