Title
Update the Comprehensive Plan Intergovernmental Coordination Element (B)
Petition PB-12-99 CPA. Update the City of Gainesville Comprehensive Plan Intergovernmental Coordination Element.
Explanation
This petition is an update to the Gainesville Comprehensive Plan for the Evaluation and Appraisal process. It will be packaged later in ordinance form for transmittal in April 2013 with other element ordinances.
The Intergovernmental Coordination Element (ICE) was substantially updated by Ordinance 110174 on January 19, 2012. In the process of preparing updates of other elements of the Comprehensive Plan, staff has identified additional changes that should be made to the ICE for compliance with Chapter Law 2011-139. These changes include deletion of a transportation-related policy (old Policy 1.3.4) and revision of another transportation-related policy (old Policy 1.3.5), expanding Policy 1.3.1 to show that water supply has a level of service requirement, one new policy (1.4.4) that reflects the City’s commitment to countywide hazard mitigation, and minor revisions to other policies.
Policy 1.3.4 needs to be deleted because transportation concurrency is now optional and Transportation Concurrency Exception Areas (TCEAs) were stricken in Chapter Law 2011-139. As part of the Evaluation and Appraisal update of the Comprehensive Plan, the City Commission directed staff to rescind transportation concurrency and replace the TCEA with a citywide transportation mobility program (Legistar 120284). Old Policy 1.3.5 (renumbered as 1.3.7) has been revised to reflect those statutory changes and to reflect the City’s updated focus on transportation mobility strategies.
An additional change is the deletion of Policy 1.6.3, which is duplicative of Policies 1.3.2 and 1.3.3 of the Recreation Element and is the subject of Ordinance 120234 (Petition PB-12-72 CPA), which is scheduled separately for transmittal hearing on October 18, 2012.
