explanation

PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT

On November 15, 2012, the City Commission approved this ordinance on first hearing by a vote of 6-0. City staff then transmitted this ordinance to the state reviewing agencies, in accordance with the expedited state review process for comprehensive plan amendments. During the 30-day comment period, the City received 3 letters of "no comment" and 2 "comment" letters from the reviewing agencies. The "comment" letters from Florida Department of Economic Opportunity and Florida Department of Education include comments that are not related to this ordinance. Therefore, the ordinance remains the same as when approved on November 15, 2012.

This ordinance amends the City of Gainesville Comprehensive Plan Intergovernmental Coordination Element (ICE) by deleting Policy 1.6.3. ICE Policy 1.6.3 encourages the City to pursue agreements with the School Board of Alachua County (SBAC) for the joint use of recreation facilities and to explore strategies for managing liability issues associated with their use by the public. However, Staff identified Policy 1.6.3 as being duplicative of Recreation Element Policies 1.3.2 and 1.3.3.
