3 Delete lines 102 - 168
4 and insert:
5 2. Is consistent with an adopted land management plan;
6 3. Does not adversely impact the land’s conservation
7 purpose; and
8 4. Does not adversely limit recreational use.
9
10 Lands acquired by the state as a gift, through donation, or by
11 any other conveyance for which no consideration was paid, and
12 which are not managed for conservation, outdoor resource-based
13 recreation, or archaeological or historic preservation under a
14 land management plan approved by the board of trustees are not
15 conservation lands.
16 (5) Each manager of conservation lands shall submit to the
17 Division of State Lands a land management plan at least every 10
18 years in a form and manner prescribed by rule by the board and
19 in accordance with the provisions of s. 259.032. Each manager of
20 conservation lands shall also update a land management plan
21 whenever the manager proposes to add new facilities or make
22 substantive land use or management changes that were not
23 addressed in the approved plan, or within 1 year of the addition
24 of significant new lands. Each manager of nonconservation lands
25 shall submit to the Division of State Lands a land use plan at
26 least every 10 years in a form and manner prescribed by rule by
27 the board. The division shall review each plan for compliance
28 with the requirements of this subsection and the requirements of
29 the rules established by the board pursuant to this section. All
30 land use plans, whether for single-use or multiple-use
31 properties, shall include an analysis of the property to
32 determine if any significant natural or cultural resources are
33 located on the property. Such resources include archaeological
34 and historic sites, state and federally listed plant and animal
35 species, and imperiled natural communities and unique natural
36 features. If such resources occur on the property, the manager
37 shall consult with the Division of State Lands and other
38 appropriate agencies to develop management strategies to protect
39 such resources. Land use plans shall also provide for the
40 control of invasive nonnative plants and conservation of soil
41 and water resources, including a description of how the manager
42 plans to control and prevent soil erosion and soil or water
43 contamination. Land use plans submitted by a manager shall
44 include reference to appropriate statutory authority for such
45 use or uses and shall conform to the appropriate policies and
46 guidelines of the state land management plan. Plans for managed
47 areas larger than 1,000 acres shall contain an analysis of the
48 multiple-use potential of the property, which analysis shall
49 include the potential of the property to generate revenues to
50 enhance the management of the property. Additionally, the plan
51 shall contain an analysis of the potential use of private land
52 managers to facilitate the restoration or management of these
53 lands. In those cases where a newly acquired property has a
54 valid conservation plan that was developed by a soil and
55 conservation district, such plan shall be used to guide
56 management of the property until a formal land use plan is
57 completed.
58 (b) Short-term and long-term management goals shall include
59 measurable objectives for the following, as appropriate:
60 1. Habitat restoration and improvement.
61 2. Public access and recreational opportunities.
62 3. Hydrological preservation and restoration.
63 4. Sustainable forest management.
64 5. Exotic and invasive species maintenance and control.
65 6. Capital facilities and infrastructure.
66 7. Cultural and historical resources.
67 8. Imperiled species habitat maintenance, enhancement,
68 restoration, or population restoration.
69 9. Preservation of low-impact agriculture.
70 (e) Land management plans are to be updated every 10 years
71 on a rotating basis. Each updated land management plan must
72 identify conservation lands under the plan, except land managed
73 as a state park or preserve, in part or in whole:
