accomplished in Palm Beach County via an interlocal agreement signed in
October, 1993 by the County, thirty-two of its municipalities, and the
School Board. The agreement coordinates multi-jurisdictional
activities through the Intergovernmental Plan Amendment Review
Committee (IPARC) Clearinghouse and the Multi-Jurisdictional Issues
Coordination Forum.

ORDINANCE NUMBER 27-99 - FIRST READING AND T~NSMI~AL OF
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS ADDRESSING THE SITING OF
PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES AND POLICIES REGARDING
INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION.
In 1997 and 1998 the Florida Legislature amended Section 163.3177 (h), and Section 163.3177
(6)(a), Florida Statutes requiring municipalities to modi~ their Intergovernmental Coordination
and Futura Land Use Elements of their Comprehensive Plans.
Florida Statute Section 163.3177(h) requires local governments to include within their
Intergovernmental Coordination Element policies that relate to the establishment of joint
planning areas. The statute change also allows for the implementation of a volunta~ dispute

MEETING DATE: JULY 19, 1999
AGENDA ITEM: VI. D. AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
TO ADDRESS STATE REQUIREMENTS REGARDING
INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION
: ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD :
The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation to the City Commission
regarding amendments to the Intergovernmental Coordination Element of the
Comprehensive Plan. The new policies relate to requirements for establishing joint
planning areas with Palm Beach County for unincorporated areas within the City's
Planning Area, and the utilization of the Palm Beach Countywide Intergovernmental
Coordination process for collaborative planning on matters of interjurisdictional
significance.
In 1997 the Florida Legislature amended Section 163.3177 (h), Florida Statutes, to
require local governments to include within their Intergovernmental Coordination
Elements policies that relate to the establishment of joint planning areas and
collaborative planning. The statute change also allows for the implementation of a
voluntary dispute resolution process for bringing closure to intergovernmental disputes.
The implementation of the dispute resolution process had already been accomplished in
Palm Beach County via an interlocal agreement signed in October, 1993 by the County,
thirty-two of its municipalities, and the School Board. The agreement coordinates multi-
jurisdictional activities through the Intergovernmental Plan Amendment Review
Committee (IPARC) Clearinghouse and the Multi-Jurisdictional Issues Coordination
Forum.
Upon passage of these statutory changes a sub-committee of IPARC was formed to
develop a strategy for addressing the requirements collectively rather than individually.
The individual policies which are proposed to address joint planning areas and
collaborative planning for matters of interjuridictional as part of this amendment have
been developed by this subcommittee and have already been given conceptual
approval by the State Department of Community Affairs. If adopted, these policies will
meet the statutory requirements assuming the additional school concurrency policies
currently being developed are later adopted. If not, additional policies related to
schools will need to be incorporated.
All local governments are required to address the changes by December 31, 1999. This
amendment is exempt from the limitation on the frequency of plan amendments (twice a
year) contained in F.S. 163.3187(1).
CPA 99-2 Amendment to ICE - Joint Planning Areas/Collaborative Planning
Page 2
I AN^,¥s s I
Pursuant to FS 183.3177(h) the City's Intergovernmental Coordination Element of the
Comprehensive Plan:
A. Shall provide for procedures to identify and implement Joint Planning areas,
especially for the purposes of annexation, municipal incorporation, and joint
infrastructure service areas.
B. Shall provide for recognition of campus master plans.
C. May provide for a voluntary dispute resolution process established pursuant to
FS 188.509 for bringing to closure in timely manner intergovernmental disputes.
A local government may develop and use an alternative local dispute resolution
process for this purpose.
D. Shall state principals and guidelines to be used in the accomplishment of
coordination of the adopted comprehensive plan with the plans of school boards
and other units of local government providing facilities and services but not
having regulatory authority over the use of land. The element shall describe joint
processes for collaborative planning and decision making on matters of
interjuridictional significance such as population projections and the siting of
public school facilities, the location and extension of public facilities subject to
concurrency, and the siting of facilities with countywide significance, including
locally unwanted land uses.
Further, within one year of adopting these policies, each county, all the municipalities
within the county, the school board, and any unit of local government service providers
in that county shall establish by interlocal or other formal agreement executed by all
affected entities, the joint processes described above. The likely process for complying
with these requirements in Palm Beach County is an amendment to the current
agreement for the Intergovernmental Coordination Program.
The four requirements described above, and recommended changes if any, are
discussed below.
Item A -- Procedures to Identify and Implement Joint Planning Areas
The City's official "Planning Area" as described in the Comprehensive Plan includes
land that is currently under the jurisdiction of Palm Beach County, but is designated in
the City Charter for eventual annexation into the municipal boundaries. Any
development or redevelopment of these properties which involves the provision of City
water requires either: 1) annexation of the property into the City (if eligible according to
state statutes) or, if ineligible for immediate annexation, 2) execution of a Water Service
Agreement with the City, which requires joint review by the City and County of any site
and development plan, and annexation into the City when eligible. The Future Land
Use Element (FLUE) of the Comprehensive Plan contains numerous policies related to
the eventual annexation of these areas, including direction to coordinate with Palm
Beach County for service provision and land use designation. Thus, while these areas
are not specifically called "Joint Planning Areas" they function as such. Appendix '%"
includes the current FLUE objective and policies regarding these areas.
CPA 99-2 Amendment to ICE - Joint Planning Areas/Collaborative Planning
Page 3
In order to fully comply with the statutory changes, the following new policy is
recommended for inclusion in the Intergovernmental Coordination Element (ICE):
Policy A-1.9 The City shall coordinate with Palm Beach County to desiqnate those
unincorporated areas within the City's official Planninq Area as "Joint Planninq Areas".
Those areas shall be subject to the policies included within Future Land Use Element
Objective B-3. This coordination shall be accomplished throuqh the execution of an
interlocal aqreement with Palm Beach County within one year from the date of adoption
of this policy.
Item B - Recoqnition of Campus Master Plans
This requirement does not apply to Delray Beach, as no university campuses are
located within the City limits.
Item C - Provision of a Voluntary Dispute Resolution Policy
This item is currently addressed in the Comprehensive Plan via the following existing
policies:
Intergovernmental Coordination Element Policy A-1.3 Conflicts which may occur
in the implementation of the City's Comprehensive Plan or which may occur in the
implementation of the plan of a neighboring jurisdiction shall be brought to the
attention of the affected jurisdiction in order to resolve the situation. If an early
resolution of the conflict cannot be achieved, the item will first be taken to the Multi-
Jurisdictional Issues Forum for review and direction. If further resolution is still
necessary, the informal mediation process provided by the Treasure Coast Regional
Planning Commission shall be pursued by the City of Delray Beach.
Intergovernmental Coordination Element Policy A-2.1 During review of any plan
amendment which involves changes to the level of service standard, letters shall be
sent to each entity which is affected by a level of service standard adopted pursuant
to this plan. The letter shall ask for concurrence with the proposed standard.
Intergovernmental Coordination Element Policy A-2.3 Any conflicts emanating
from Policy A-2.1 and which are not resolved prior to resubmission to DCA shall be
taken to the Interlocal Plan Amendment Review Committee (IPARC) and Multi-
Jurisdictional Issues Coordination Forum as appropriate, for direction and/or
mediation.
Item D - Coordination of Comprehensive Plan With School Board Plans and Plans
of Other Local Governments; and Joint Planninq for Facilities With Countywide
Si.qnificance~ Including Locally Unwanted Land Uses.
The City's current Intergovernmental Coordination Element contains numerous policies
detailing the process by which the City's plan is coordinated with the plans of other local
governments and service providers, including the school district. Amendments to the
plan are processed through the Interlocal Plan Amendment Review Committee, through
CPA 99-2 Amendment to ICE - Joint Planning Areas/Collaborative Planning
Page 4
which other local governments and service providers are notified of the changes and
given an opportunity to comment. These existing policies are attached in Appendix "B".
More specific processes for the joint planning and decision making regarding population
and public school siting will be covered later this year through the adoption of
amendments relating to school concurrency. The remaining requirements of this
section are to be addressed with the adoption of the following policy:
Policy A-1.10 The City of Delray Beach shall utilize the Palm Beach Countywide
Intergovernmental Coordination Program as a reqular formal forum in which to deal with
issues unique to Palm Beach County and its municipalities. The Multi-Jurisdictional
Issues Coordination Forum shall be utilized as a means of collaborative planning for
matters of interjurisdictional siqnificance includinq, but not limited to, the siting of
facilities with countywide significance and locally unwanted land uses.
With the adoption of Policy A-1.9, Policy A-1.10 and adoption of additional policies
relating to school concurrency later this year, compliance with F.S. 163.3177 (h) should
be achieved.
By motion, recommend to the City Commission approval of the amendments to the
Intergovernmental Coordination Element of the Comprehensive Plan to add Policies A-
1.9 and A-1.10 as described herein, regarding joint planning areas and utilization of the
Intergovernmental Coordination Program for collaborative planning on matters of
interjurisdictional significance.

APPENDIX "A"
EXISTING FLUE POLICIES REGARDING THE
UNINCORPORATED PORTIONS OF THE CITY'S PLANNING AREA
Policy B-3.3 The City has petitioned Palm Beach County to make changes to its Future
Land Use Map (FLUM) in order for there to be consistency between City and County
FLUM designations within the Delray Beach Planning area. Once consistency is
achieved, the City shall petition for an interlocal agreement wherein provisions shall be
made that the City's FLUM designation shall be in effect immediately upon annexation
of a specific parcel. Following any annexation, the Future Land Use Map, and
appropriate portions of the Comprehensive Plan, shall be amended to reflect the
change in the City's boundary.
Policy B-3.4 For purposes of implementing Policy B-3.3, the Future Land Use Map
designations as initially contained on the City's Future Land Use Map upon adoption in
November, 1989, (and as formally amended subsequently) are hereby deemed to be
the Future Land Use Map designations for the territory subject to provisions of the
interlocal agreement.
Policy B-3.5 The City shall, in FY 98/99, undertake the following program for the
annexation of remaining eligible properties:
Preparation of an "urban services annexation report" as required by Florida Statutes,
for each of the remaining designated annexation areas:
A. Foxe Chase subdivision
B. Southwest Corner of Linton Boulevard and Military Trail
C. Barwick Road (just north of Atlantic Avenue)
D. Atlantic Avenue & Military Trail, (less the portion of Country Club Acres west of
Military Trail and High Point of Delray West)
E. The North Military Trail Area, north of Lake Ida Road
F. High Point Delray Area (north of Atlantic Avenue)
G. Country Club Acres (west of Military Trail)
(See Map #11 for a geographical description of the above referenced areas.)
Working in concert with the Palm Beach County Planning Department, address the
annexation of improved property, which lacks adequate sewer, water, street, and/or
drainage facilities pursuant to the Palm Beach County Annexation Incentive
Program.
Recommend whether annexation should be pursued, and if so, the means by which
annexation should occur.
Accommodate individual voluntary annexations as the opportunities arise.
Policy B-3.6 The City of Delray Beach hereby supports legislation at the State level,

MEETING DATE: JULY 19, 1999
AGENDA ITEM: Vl.C AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO
ADDRESS STATE REQUIREMENTS REGARDING THE
SITING OF PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES
The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation to the City Commission
regarding an amendment to the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan.
The amendment proposes the addition of new policies relating to the siting of new
public schools, and the collocation of such schools with other public facilities such as
parks, libraries and community centers.
Last year the Florida Legislature amended Section 163.3177 (6)(a), Florida Statutes, to
require local governments to include school siting location criteria in their
comprehensive plans. The criteria are to encourage the location of schools near urban
areas and to collocate them with parks, libraries and community centers to the greatest
extent possible. Local governments are required to revise their Future Land Use
Elements by October 1, 1999 to incorporate these criteria and designate the land use
categories where public schools are an allowable use. This amendment is exempt
from the limitation on the frequency of plan amendments (twice a year) contained in
F.S. 163.3187(1).
The legislation further states that any local government that fails to incorporate school
location and collocation criteria by the October 1, 1999 deadline will be prohibited from
amending their comprehensive plan as provided by F.S. 163.3178 (6).
Pursuant to F.S. 163.3177 the City's Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive
Plan must include the following provisions:
· Must clearly identify the land use categories in which public schools are an allowable
use.
The categories shall include sufficient land proximate to residential development to
meet the projected needs for schools in coordination with public school boards and
may establish differing criteria for schools of different types and sizes.
· Each local government shall include lands contiguous to existing school sites, to the
maximum extent possible, within the land use categories in which public schools are
an allowable use.
· The Future Land Use Element shall include criteria which encourages the location of
schools proximate to urban residential areas to the extent possible and shall require
CPA 99-2 - School Siting
Page 2
that the local government seek to collocate public facilities, such as parks, libraries,
and community centers, with schools.
These requirements, with the exception of the last item, are currently addressed in the
existing Comprehensive Plan. Future Land Use Element Policy D-3.5 (Page FL-38)
states "Public educational facilities of the school district of Palm Beach County shaft be
consistent with all land use categories except Conservation". Given this policy 8,851
acres within the City are available for potential sites while 1,311 acres, having a
Conservation FLUM designation, are unavailable. The inclusion of lands contiguous to
existing school sites is met as the land use designations currently abutting existing
school sites have FLUM designations which are deemed to allow schools per Policy D-
3.5.
The amendment therefore need only address the requirement that the Future Land Use
Element include criteria which encourages the location of schools proximate to urban
residential areas, and to collocate public facilities, such as parks, libraries, and
community centers, with schools to the extent possible. Future Land Use Element
Objective D-3 states in part that "The City shaft cooperate with the School Board to
achieve placement of new schools inside of the County's urban services area..." The
entire City can be considered an urban residential area for the purposes of complying
with the statutory requirements, however, additional language can be included to
specify certain Iocational criteria for school facilities. Regarding the collocation of
school facilities with other public facilities such as parks and community centers, it has
been the City's practice to encourage such collocation whenever possible (for example,
Orchard View and Pine Grove elementary schools with adjacent City parks).
In order to fully comply with the 1998 provisions for school siting, the addition of the
following two policies to the Future Land Use Element are recommended:
Policy D-3.? The City shall encourage the School Board to select elementary and
middle school locations that are within a reasonable walking distance of neighborhoods
that have substantial numbers of children who will attend the school. The sites should
be easily and safely accessible to pedestrians, bicycles, school busses, mass transit,
and cars. Whenever possible, access to the site should be from a collector road (City
collector or local road for elementary schools), as opposed to an arterial road.
Policy D-3.8 The City shall seek to collocate public facilities such as parks, libraries,
and community centers, with public educational facilities of the school district of Palm
Beach County to the greatest extent possible.
By motion, recommend to the City Commission approval of the text amendment to the
Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan to add Policies D-3.7 and D-3.8
regarding the siting of public school facilities as attached.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT (shaded policies are new)
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT -- Objective D-3
The City shall cooperate with the School Board to achieve placement of new schools
inside of the County's urban services area, to upgrade and enhance existing facilities
within the City, and to schedule individual facility needs in an orderly and timely
manner that is responsive to meeting the other objectives of this goal area.
Policy D-3.2 The policies of this objective shall be coordinated through ongoing
communications between the Office of the City Manager and the School District
Superintendent. There shall be a mutual obligation to insure that all policies within this
goal area are urgently pursued.
Policy D-3.3 The City shall support existing and proposed legislation preventing public
and private agencies from changing governmental agency's impact fees and capacity
changes.
Policy D-3.4 The City shall work with the School Board toward constructing and
placing into operation: a new elementary school in the southeast portion of the City, a
new middle school in or adjacent to the City, and a new high school in or adjacent to the
City, pursuant to the "Sharing for Excellence in Schools 1994" plan.
Policy D-3.5 Public educational facilities of the school district of Palm Beach County
shall be consistent with all land use categories except Conservation.
Policy D-3.6 The location and construction of new public education facilities and the
expansion of existing facilities shall be permitted based upon a finding that the proposal
is consistent with applicable goals, objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan,
and is compatible with adjacent land uses and development patterns.
