 1  elements:
 2         (a)  A future land use plan element designating
 3  proposed future general distribution, location, and extent of
 4  the uses of land for residential uses, commercial uses,
 5  industry, agriculture, recreation, conservation, education,
 6  public buildings and grounds, other public facilities, and
 7  other categories of the public and private uses of land.  The
 8  future land use plan shall include standards to be followed in
 9  the control and distribution of population densities and
10  building and structure intensities.  The proposed
11  distribution, location, and extent of the various categories
12  of land use shall be shown on a land use map or map series
13  which shall be supplemented by goals, policies, and measurable
14  objectives.  Each land use category shall be defined in terms
15  of the types of uses included and specific standards for the
16  density or intensity of use.  The future land use plan shall
17  be based upon surveys, studies, and data regarding the area,
18  including the amount of land required to accommodate
19  anticipated growth; the projected population of the area; the
20  character of undeveloped land; the availability of public
21  services; the need for redevelopment, including the renewal of
22  blighted areas and the elimination of nonconforming uses which
23  are inconsistent with the character of the community; and, in
24  rural communities, the need for job creation, capital
25  investment, and economic development that will strengthen and
26  diversify the community's economy. The future land use plan
27  may designate areas for future planned development use
28  involving combinations of types of uses for which special
29  regulations may be necessary to ensure development in accord
30  with the principles and standards of the comprehensive plan
31  and this act. In addition, for rural communities, the amount

    Amendment No. 1 (for drafter's use only)
 1  of land designated for future planned industrial use shall be
 2  based upon surveys and studies that reflect the need for job
 3  creation, capital investment, and the necessity to strengthen
 4  and diversify the local economies, and shall not be limited
 5  solely by the projected population of the rural community. The
 6  future land use plan of a county may also designate areas for
 7  possible future municipal incorporation. The land use maps or
 8  map series shall generally identify and depict historic
 9  district boundaries and shall designate historically
10  significant properties meriting protection.  The future land
11  use element must clearly identify the land use categories in
12  which public schools are an allowable use.  When delineating
13  the land use categories in which public schools are an
14  allowable use, a local government shall include in the
15  categories sufficient land proximate to residential
16  development to meet the projected needs for schools in
17  coordination with public school boards and may establish
18  differing criteria for schools of different type or size.
19  Each local government shall include lands contiguous to
20  existing school sites, to the maximum extent possible, within
21  the land use categories in which public schools are an
22  allowable use. All comprehensive plans must comply with the
23  school siting requirements of this paragraph no later than
24  October 1, 1999. The failure by a local government to comply
25  with these school siting requirements by October 1, 1999, will
26  result in the prohibition of the local government's ability to
27  amend the local comprehensive plan, except for plan amendments
28  described in s. 163.3187(1)(b), until the school siting
29  requirements are met. An amendment proposed by a local
30  government for purposes of identifying the land use categories
31  in which public schools are an allowable use is exempt from

    Amendment No. 1 (for drafter's use only)
 1  the limitation on the frequency of plan amendments contained
 2  in s. 163.3187. The future land use element shall include
 3  criteria which encourage the location of schools proximate to
 4  urban residential areas to the extent possible and shall
 5  require that the local government seek to collocate public
 6  facilities, such as parks, libraries, and community centers,
 7  with schools to the extent possible. For schools serving
 8  predominantly rural counties, defined as a county with a
 9  population of 100,000 or fewer, an agricultural land use
10  category shall be eligible for the location of public school
11  facilities if the local comprehensive plan contains school
12  siting criteria and the location is consistent with such
13  criteria.
14         (c)  A general sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage,
15  potable water, and natural groundwater aquifer recharge
16  element correlated to principles and guidelines for future
17  land use, indicating ways to provide for future potable water,
18  drainage, sanitary sewer, solid waste, and aquifer recharge
19  protection requirements for the area.  The element may be a
20  detailed engineering plan including a topographic map
21  depicting areas of prime groundwater recharge. The element
22  shall describe the problems and needs and the general
23  facilities that will be required for solution of the problems
24  and needs.  The element shall also include a topographic map
25  depicting any areas adopted by a regional water management
26  district as prime groundwater recharge areas for the Floridan
27  or Biscayne aquifers, pursuant to s. 373.0395.  These areas
28  shall be given special consideration when the local government
29  is engaged in zoning or considering future land use for said
30  designated areas.  For areas served by septic tanks, soil
31  surveys shall be provided which indicate the suitability of
