172	163.3177  Required and optional elements of comprehensive
173	plan; studies and surveys.--
174	(6)  In addition to the requirements of subsections
175	(1)-(5), the comprehensive plan shall include the following
176	elements:
177	(a)  A future land use plan element designating proposed
178	future general distribution, location, and extent of the uses of
179	land for residential uses, commercial uses, industry,
180	agriculture, recreation, conservation, education, public
181	buildings and grounds, other public facilities, and other
182	categories of the public and private uses of land. Counties are
183	encouraged to designate rural land stewardship areas, pursuant
184	to the provisions of paragraph (11)(d), as overlays on the
185	future land use map. Each future land use category must be
186	defined in terms of uses included, and must include standards to
187	be followed in the control and distribution of population
188	densities and building and structure intensities. The proposed
189	distribution, location, and extent of the various categories of
190	land use shall be shown on a land use map or map series which
191	shall be supplemented by goals, policies, and measurable
192	objectives. The future land use plan shall be based upon
193	surveys, studies, and data regarding the area, including the
194	amount of land required to accommodate anticipated growth; the
195	projected population of the area; the character of undeveloped
196	land; the availability of water supplies, public facilities, and
197	services; the vulnerability to natural hazards and the potential
198	need for hazard mitigation; the need for redevelopment,
199	including the renewal of blighted areas and the elimination of
200	nonconforming uses which are inconsistent with the character of
201	the community; the compatibility of uses on lands adjacent to or
202	closely proximate to military installations; and, in rural
203	communities, the need for job creation, capital investment, and
204	economic development that will strengthen and diversify the
205	community's economy. The future land use plan may designate
206	areas for future planned development use involving combinations
207	of types of uses for which special regulations may be necessary
208	to ensure development in accord with the principles and
209	standards of the comprehensive plan and this act. The future
210	land use plan element shall include criteria to be used to
211	achieve the compatibility of adjacent or closely proximate lands
212	with military installations. In addition, for rural communities,
213	the amount of land designated for future planned industrial use
214	shall be based upon surveys and studies that reflect the need
215	for job creation, capital investment, and the necessity to
216	strengthen and diversify the local economies, and shall not be
217	limited solely by the projected population of the rural
218	community. The future land use plan of a county may also
219	designate areas for possible future municipal incorporation. The
220	land use maps or map series shall generally identify and depict
221	historic district boundaries and shall designate historically
222	significant properties meriting protection.  The future land use
223	element must clearly identify the land use categories in which
224	public schools are an allowable use.  When delineating the land
225	use categories in which public schools are an allowable use, a
226	local government shall include in the categories sufficient land
227	proximate to residential development to meet the projected needs
228	for schools in coordination with public school boards and may
229	establish differing criteria for schools of different type or
230	size.  Each local government shall include lands contiguous to
231	existing school sites, to the maximum extent possible, within
232	the land use categories in which public schools are an allowable
233	use. All comprehensive plans must comply with the school siting
234	requirements of this paragraph no later than October 1, 1999.
235	The failure by a local government to comply with these school
236	siting requirements by October 1, 1999, will result in the
237	prohibition of the local government's ability to amend the local
238	comprehensive plan, except for plan amendments described in s.
239	163.3187(1)(b), until the school siting requirements are met.
240	Amendments proposed by a local government for purposes of
241	identifying the land use categories in which public schools are
242	an allowable use or for adopting or amending the school-siting
243	maps pursuant to s. 163.31776(3) are exempt from the limitation
244	on the frequency of plan amendments contained in s. 163.3187.
245	The future land use element shall include criteria that
246	encourage the location of schools proximate to urban residential
247	areas to the extent possible and shall require that the local
248	government seek to collocate public facilities, such as parks,
249	libraries, and community centers, with schools to the extent
250	possible and to encourage the use of elementary schools as focal
251	points for neighborhoods. For schools serving predominantly
252	rural counties, defined as a county with a population of 100,000
253	or fewer, an agricultural land use category shall be eligible
254	for the location of public school facilities if the local
255	comprehensive plan contains school siting criteria and the
256	location is consistent with such criteria. Local governments
257	required to update or amend their comprehensive plan to include
258	criteria and address compatibility of adjacent or closely
259	proximate lands with existing military installations in their
260	future land use plan element shall transmit the update or
261	amendment to the department by June 30, 2006.
262	(g)  For those units of local government identified in s.
263	380.24, a coastal management element, appropriately related to
264	the particular requirements of paragraphs (d) and (e) and
265	meeting the requirements of s. 163.3178(2) and (3).  The coastal
266	management element shall set forth the policies that shall guide
267	the local government's decisions and program implementation with
268	respect to the following objectives:
269	1.  Maintenance, restoration, and enhancement of the
270	overall quality of the coastal zone environment, including, but
271	not limited to, its amenities and aesthetic values.
272	2.  Continued existence of viable populations of all
273	species of wildlife and marine life.
274	3.  The orderly and balanced utilization and preservation,
275	consistent with sound conservation principles, of all living and
276	nonliving coastal zone resources.
277	4.  Avoidance of irreversible and irretrievable loss of
278	coastal zone resources.
279	5.  Ecological planning principles and assumptions to be
280	used in the determination of suitability and extent of permitted
281	development.
282	6.  Proposed management and regulatory techniques.
283	7.  Limitation of public expenditures that subsidize
284	development in high-hazard coastal areas.
285	8.  Protection of human life against the effects of natural
286	disasters and implementation of hazard-mitigation strategies.

288	identified in s. 403.021(9) to facilitate deepwater commercial
289	navigation and other related activities.
290	10.  Preservation, including sensitive adaptive use of
291	historic and archaeological resources.
292	Section 41.  Paragraphs (d) and (f) of subsection (2) of
293	section 163.3178, Florida Statutes, are amended, and subsection
294	(9) is added to that section, to read:
295	163.3178  Coastal management.--
296	(2)  Each coastal management element required by s.
297	163.3177(6)(g) shall be based on studies, surveys, and data; be
298	consistent with coastal resource plans prepared and adopted
299	pursuant to general or special law; and contain:
300	(d)  A component that which outlines principles for hazard
301	mitigation and protection of human life and property against the
302	effects of natural disaster, including population evacuation and
303	local mitigation strategies that, which take into consideration
304	the capability to safely evacuate the density of coastal
305	population proposed in the future land use plan element in the
306	event of an impending natural disaster.
307	(f)  A redevelopment component that which outlines the
308	principles to which shall be used to eliminate inappropriate and
309	unsafe development in the coastal areas when opportunities
310	arise. In recognition of the need to balance redevelopment, the
311	protection of human life and property, and public investment in
312	infrastructure, as a demonstration project, up to five local
313	governments or a combination of local governments may amend
314	their comprehensive plans to allow for the redevelopment of
315	coastal areas within the designated coastal high-hazard area.
316	The application must include the participation of the county
317	emergency management agency, as provided in s. 252.38, of the
318	county or counties in which the local government or local
319	governments are located.
320	1.  To be eligible for the coastal redevelopment
321	demonstration project, the following conditions must be met: the
322	comprehensive plan delineates the Flood Insurance Rate Map
323	zones, the Coastal Construction Control Line, and the Coastal
324	Barrier Resources System Area (COBRA) units for the area subject
325	to the coastal redevelopment strategy; the area is part of a
326	comprehensive redevelopment strategy that will be incorporated
327	into the comprehensive plan; the area has been designated in the
328	comprehensive plan as an urban infill and redevelopment area
329	under s. 163.2517 or an adopted community redevelopment plan
330	under s. 163.360 which is incorporated as a component of the
331	comprehensive plan; the area is not within a designated area of
332	critical state concern; the comprehensive plan delineates the
333	coastal high-hazard area consistent with this part; and the
334	county emergency management agency affirms in writing its intent
335	to participate in the demonstration project.
336	2.  The local government or combination of local
337	governments, authorized by agreement pursuant to paragraph
338	(9)(b) to pursue the demonstration project, shall adopt into the
339	comprehensive plan a redevelopment strategy, consistent with the
340	requirements of s. 163.3177(6)(a) and local mitigation
341	strategies, which includes, at a minimum, the following
342	components:
343	a.  Measures to reduce, replace, or eliminate unsafe
344	structures and properties subject to repetitive damage from

351	planning timeframe the county hurricane evacuation clearance
352	times as established in the most recent hurricane evacuation
353	study or transportation analysis;
354	d.  If the county hurricane evacuation clearance times
355	exceed 16 hours for a Category 3 storm event, measures to ensure
356	that the redevelopment strategy reduces the county shelter
357	deficit and hurricane clearance times to adequate levels below
358	16 hours within the planning timeframe;
359	e.  Measures that provide for county evacuation shelter
360	space to ensure that development authorized within the
361	redevelopment area provides mitigation proportional to its
362	impact to offset the increased demand on evacuation clearance
363	times and public shelter space;
364	f.  Measures to ensure that public expenditures that
365	subsidize development in the most vulnerable areas of the
366	coastal high hazard area are limited to those expenditures
367	needed to provide for public access to the beach and shoreline,
368	restore beaches and dunes and other natural systems, correct
369	existing hurricane evacuation deficiencies, or to make
370	facilities more disaster resistant;
371	g.  Measures that commit to planning and regulatory
372	standards that exceed minimum National Flood Insurance
373	Standards, including participation in the Community Rating
374	System of the National Flood Insurance Program;
