AMENDMENT 99-2
INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ELEMENT
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND
As part of a local government's comprehensive plan,an Intergovernmental Coordination
Element,commonly referred toas "ICE,"mustbecompleted.Thisisthe part oftheplan
whichoutlineshowalocalgovernmentwill coordinate theanticipatedimpacts of
development attributable totheir comprehensive plan,bothas currently adopted and as
subsequently amended,withthe plans of numerous other local governments and agencies.
Specifically,each local government must demonstrate the particular effects ofthe local
comprehensive plan upon development of adjacent municipalities,thecounty,adjacent
counties,the region,the state,andother agencies nothaving regulatory authority overthe
use ofthe land.
TheCityof South Miami's Comprehensive Plan has a separate chapter entitled,
"Intergovernmental Element,"which has been approved bythe Florida Department of
Community Affairs.The Chapter contains an analysis of howtheCity coordinates the
impact of its Comprehensive Plan with other agencies of government.
REVISIONS TO STATE STATUTES
The contents of each local government's ICE is described inF.S.163.3177(6)(h),whichwas
part ofthe original 1985 Growth Management Act.In 1996 this section was amended to
require local governments to expand its ICE (Chapter)to demonstrate how it will provide
coordination for specific planningissues.Theseare:
CampusMaster Plans;
SpecialDistricts;
Annexation and Service Areas;
Populationprojections;
School Siting;
Facilities Subject to Concurrency;
Facilities with Countywide Significance;
Problematic Land Uses;and
Voluntary Dispute Resolution Processes.

The1996legislationalsoprovidedthatafteramendingtheircomprehensiveplanstorespond
totheaboveissues,alocalgovernmentshallhaveoneyeartoenterintoanagreementwith
othergovernmentalagenciesin order to formalize the coordination process.
The legislation further requires that local governments mustcompleteand transmit the plan
amendments prior totheend of 1999.The Department of CommunityAffairs advised all
local governments in Miami-Dade County thattheymustadopttheir amendments by
October 1999.
IMPACT ON THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI
TheCity of South Miami's Comprehensive Plan needs tobe amended to respond tothe
revised regulations.The Intergovernmental Coordination ElementintheCity's
Comprehensive Plan was last changed in 1997 as part of an amendment package resulting
from thefiveyear Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR).The amendment package atthat
timewasreviewedbyDCAandwithsome suggested revisions,theamendment package was
approved and adopted.The City's ICE Chapter,together with the goals,objectives,and
policies was found acceptable by DCA tomeetthe statutory requirements ineffectat that
time.TheCity's amendments to ICE Chapter,atthistime,should be limited tomeetingthe
new statutory requirements which mustbe included inthe Comprehensive Plan bytheend of
1999.
REQUIRED LEGISLATIVE ACTION
Attached isa proposed Amendment 99-2,Intergovernmental Coordination Element (Exhibit
"A")which isthe City's response tothenew ICE Statutory requirements.The amendment
revises theCity's existing goals,objectives,and policies section in order to address the
specific planning issues now contained in the Statute.Itis important to note that the City's
proposed amendments do not respond to the Campus Master Plan issue.This requirement is
only applicable to those jurisdictions in which a State University is located.The revisions to
theICE Chapter mustbe adopted by ordinance and then submitted tothe Florida Department
of Community Affairs.

Proposed Amendment No.1
Section 163.3177(6)(a),F.S.requiresthatlocal governments includeschoollocationandcollocation
criteria intheFutureLandUseElement (FLUE)oftheir comprehensive plans.Thecriteriaare
designedtoencouragethelocationofpublicschoolsnearurbanresidentialareasandtocollocate
them with parks,libraries and community centerstothe extent possible.Inaddition,thestatutes
requirethe FLUE to identify thelandusecategoriesinwhichpublicschoolsareanallowableuse.
Theproposed amendment No.1totheCityofSouthMiami Comprehensive Plan FLUE would
includeschoollocationandcollocation criteria.This amendment consistsofdataandanalysis,a
new objectiveandtwo new policiesthat would be added totheCity'sFutureLandUse Element
Thedataandanalysis,inpart,explainsthatSouth Miamifs permanentpopulationisprojectedto
decreaseslightlybytheyear 2005,based upon thelimitedavailabilityofdevelopableland within
the City to accommodate growth.TheCity's student age population is expected toremainstable
duringthe next tenyears.However,sinceSouthMiamiMiddleSchooliscurrentlyoperating
over-capacityat 142%utilization in1997-98andisprojectedto have a utilization of 166%inthe
year2003-03,the 1998Facilities Work Program indicates that consideration is being given to
significant expansion and/or replacement forSouthMiami Community MiddleSchool.
Two new policies would be added that specifically address the statutory requirements by
including language that the City of South Miami will encourage thecollocation of publicschools
with parks,libraries,and community centerstothe extent possible.The Cityalso commits to
coordination with Miami-Dade Public Schools.
The following land use categoriesare identified in the existing Comprehensive Plan asthosein
which public schoolsare explicitly listed asa permitted use:
•Public and Institutional Uses
•EducationalUses(asa sub-category of thePublic Institutional Useslanduse designation)
•Parks and Open Space
Contact with Miami-Dade County PublicSchools confirms that theagencydoesnotobjecttothe
schoolsiting amendment asproposed.Staffanalysisconfirmsthatthisproposed amendment
would notcreateany significant adverseregionalimpactsandiscompatible with thegoalsand
policiesofthe SRPP.
Proposed Amendment No.2
Proposed amendment No.2 would amendtheCity'sComprehensivePlanIntergovernmental
CoordinationElement(ICE)pursuant toSection 163.3177 (6)(h)(4)F.S.which requireslocal
governments toamendtheir adopted comprehensive planstoaddresstheintergovernmental
coordination requirements by December 31,1999.
Proposed amendmentNo.2would revise the current goal,objectives,and policies tocommit
theCityto:
•coordination with neighboring jurisdictions andspecialdistrict service providers.In
addition,it would includeannualreviewbytheCityoftheplansandreports of these
agencies;
•identificationand implementation ofjoint planning areasandtheresolutionofissues
generatedinjointplanning areas.Supporting policies would address annexation
.issuesencompassinglevelsof services andcoststotaxpayersandwould commit the
Cityto participation inthe Miami-Dade Planners'Technical Committee;
•identification and establishment ofjoint processes with otherlocalagenciesfor
collaborative planning on population projections,schoolsiting,facilities subject to
concurrency and level of services,facilities with countywide significance,and
problematic land uses;and
•implementation of a program to identify and resolve conflicts between the City's
regulationsandthelanduseofneighboringjurisdictions.Supportingpolicies would
address notification of neighboring jurisdictions foranyproposals that may impact
property within 500feet of apublicschooloradjacentjurisdiction.
Contact with Miami-Dade County PublicSchools confirms thatthatagencyis working with the
Citytoclarify some of the proposed language relatingtotheICE update.Council staff will
continue to coordinate with the City andtheschool board to help resolve any outstanding issues.
Staffanalysis confirms however thatthis amendment as proposed iscompatible with thegoals
andpolicies of the SRPP and would not result in significant negative regional impacts.
Proposed Amendment No.3
Theproposed amendment totheHousingElementtotheCity of SouthMiami Comprehensive
Planhasbeen processed in response totheremedialaction recommended inthe1998 Stipulated
Agreement with the Department of Community Affairs (DCA)by incorporating additional text,a
new datatable,and revised objectivesandpolicies concerning affordable housing.
Background:
InFebruary1997,the City of SouthMiami proposed aseries of amendments tothe
Comprehensive Planthatwererequiredasa result of the 5-year mandatory Evaluation
and Appraisal Report (EAR).
Following the submission oftheEAR amendments,theFloridaDCA issued anObjection,
Recommendations and Comments (ORC)Report staring thatanaffordable housing needs
assessment was missing.DCA recommended mat the City submit an amendment that
includes affordable housing dataand additional policiesonaffordable housing.
In August 1997,the City adopted a supplemental package of EAR amendments that
included a new Housing objective(Objective1.3)and severalpolicies related to
affordable housing.
In October 1997,the DCA issued a Statement of Finding of Non-Compliance on the
August 1997 submission fromtheCity.Itwas recommended thatremedialaction should
includea measurable targetfor Housing Objective 1.3.
•A Stipulated Settlement Agreement between the City andthe DCA was approved in
April 1998.
•In August of 1998,the City was required to confirm its stipulated settlement by amending
the Comprehensive Plan document tostatethat certain studies willbedoneand policies
will be revised.TheCity Commission adopted Ordinance No.12-98-1660 onAugust4,
1998 thatamended the Comprehensive PlanandincludedaninterimPolicy 1.3.6 that
committedtheCityto complete the Housing Data and Analysis,and associated policies
and objectives,based upon the Affordable Housing Needs Assessment bythe Shimberg
Centerfor Affordable Housing.
Proposed amendmentNo.3wouldrevisethetextof Objective 1.3byadding measurable
affordable housing targets.Specific targets include the construction of 30 affordable housing
units through programs and initiatives suchasthe Community Redevelopment Agencyand 100
additional unitsaspartofthe proposed Hometown Station project bytheyear 2005.It further
projects the construction ofan additional 150 unitsof affordable housingthrough various
programs/projects by the year2010toachieveareduction of thefuture deficit of affordable
housing by25 percent
Proposed amendmentNo.3would delete four policies andadd five new policies to support
Objective1.3.New policieswould:
•committheCity'sCommunity Redevelopment Agency(CRA)to implement itsNew
HousingPrograminordertoacquirevacantpropertyandprovide financial assistance to
constructatleast24 new affordable housing units;
•promoteadditionalincentivesbytheCity'sCRAtoprivatedeveloperstoconstruct
projects with affordable housing units;
•supporttheeffortsof private organizations to construct atleastfive affordable housing
units per year;
•committheCityandtheCountytojointlysupportdevelopmentintheRapidTransit
Zonetoencouragemixed-use/residentialmulti-family projects containingaffordable
housing units;and
•committheCitytoworkingwiththeSouth Florida Regional Planning Counciltohelp
implement aregionalpolicytoaddressaffordablehousingneeds.
Council staffreviewconfirmsthattheamendmentas proposed wouldnotcreateany significant
adverse regional impactsandiscompatible with the goals and policies ofthe SRPP.Inaddition,
theproposed amendment supportsregionaltransportationgoalsandpolicies.Councilstaff
acknowledges theeffortsthattheCityhasundertakento increase affordablehousing
opportunities,includingworkingcloselywith Habitat for HumanitywhichhastargetedSouth
Miami for construction of new homes for low and moderate-income families.
