Such planning shall include the integration of the educational facilities plan and applicable policies and procedures of a board with the local comprehensive plan and land development regulations of local governments. The planning must include the consideration of allowing students to attend the school located nearest their homes when a new housing development is constructed near a county boundary and it is more feasible to transport the students a short distance to an existing facility in an adjacent county than to construct a new facility or transport students longer distances in their county of residence. The planning must also consider the effects of the location of public education facilities, including the feasibility of keeping central city facilities viable, in order to encourage central city redevelopment and the efficient use of infrastructure and to discourage uncontrolled urban sprawl. In addition, all parties to the planning process must consult with state and local road departments to assist in implementing the Safe Paths to Schools program administered by the Department of Transportation. • (2)(a) The school board, county, and nonexempt municipalities located within the geographic area of a school district shall enter into an interlocal agreement that jointly establishes the specific ways in which the plans and processes of the district school board and the local governments are to be coordinated. The interlocal agreements shall be submitted to the state land planning agency and the Office of Educational Facilities and the SMART Schools Clearinghouse in accordance with a schedule published by the state land planning agency. (b) The schedule must establish staggered due dates for submission of interlocal agreements that are executed by both the local government and district school board, commencing on March 1, 2003, and concluding by December 1, 2004, and must set the same date for all governmental entities within a school district. However, if the county where the school district is located contains more than 20 municipalities, the state land planning agency may establish staggered due dates for the submission of interlocal agreements by these municipalities. The schedule must begin with those areas where both the number of districtwide capital- outlay full - time - equivalent students equals 80 percent or more of the current year's school capacity and the projected 5 -year student growth rate is 1,000 or greater, or where the projected 5 -year student growth rate is 10 percent or greater. (c) If the student population has declined over the 5 -year period preceding the due date for submittal of an interlocal agreement by the local government and the district school board, the local government and district school board may petition the state land planning agency for a waiver of one or more of the requirements of subsection (3). The waiver must be granted if the procedures called for in subsection (3) are unnecessary because of the school district's declining school age population, considering the district's 5 -year work program prepared pursuant to s. 1013.35. The state land planning agency may modify or revoke the waiver upon a finding that the conditions upon which the waiver was granted no longer exist. The district school board and local • governments must submit an interlocal agreement within 1 year after notification by the state land planning agency that the conditions for a waiver no longer exist. (d) Interlocal agreements between local governments and district school boards adopted pursuant http: / /www. flsenate.gov /statutes /index.c fm ?p =2 & App_ mode= DispIay_Statute &Search_St... 5/26/2006 Statutes & Constitution :View Statutes :- >2005- >Ch1013- >Section 33 : flsenate.gov Page 2 of 5 to s. 163.3177 before the effective date of subsections (2) -(9) must be updated and executed pursuant to the requirements of subsections (2) -(9), if necessary. Amendments to interlocal • agreements adopted pursuant to subsections (2) -(9) must be submitted to the state land planning agency within 30 days after execution by the parties for review consistent with subsections (3) and (4). Local governments and the district school board in each school district are encouraged to adopt a single interlocal agreement in which all join as parties. The state land planning agency shall assemble and make available model interlocal agreements meeting the requirements of subsections (2) -(9) and shall notify local governments and, jointly with the Department of Education, the district school boards of the requirements of subsections (2) -(9), the dates for compliance, and the sanctions for noncompliance. The state land planning agency shall be available to informally review proposed interlocal agreements. If the state land planning agency has not received a proposed interlocal agreement for informal review, the state land planning agency shall, at least 60 days before the deadline for submission of the executed agreement, renotify the local government and the district school board of the upcoming deadline and the potential for sanctions. (3) At a minimum, the interlocal agreement must address interlocal agreement requirements in s. 163.31.80(13)(g), except for exempt local governments as provided in s. 163,31.77(12), and must address the following issues: (a) A process by which each local government and the district school board agree and base their plans on consistent projections of the amount, type, and distribution of population growth and student enrollment. The geographic distribution of jurisdiction -wide growth forecasts is a major objective of the process. (b) A process to coordinate and share information relating to existing and planned public school facilities, including school renovations and closures, and local government plans for development • and redevelopment. (c) Participation by affected local governments with the district school board in the process of evaluating potential school closures, significant renovations to existing schools, and new school site selection before land acquisition. Local governments shall advise the district school board as to the consistency of the proposed closure, renovation, or new site with the local comprehensive plan, including appropriate circumstances and criteria under which a district school board may request an amendment to the comprehensive plan for school siting. (d) A process for determining the need for and timing of onsite and offsite improvements to support new construction, proposed expansion, or redevelopment of existing schools. The process shall address identification of the party or parties responsible for the improvements. (e) A process for the school board to inform the local government regarding the effect of comprehensive plan amendments on school capacity. The capacity reporting must be consistent with laws and rules regarding measurement of school facility capacity and must also identify how the district school board will meet the public school demand based on the facilities work program adopted pursuant to s. 1013.35. (f) Participation of the local governments in the preparation of the annual update to the school board's 5 -year district facilities work program and educational plant survey prepared pursuant to s. 1013.35. (g) A process for determining where and how joint use of either school board or local government facilities can be shared for mutual benefit and efficiency. • (h) A procedure for the resolution of disputes between the district school board and local governments, which may include the dispute resolution processes contained in chapters 164 and 186. http: / /www. flsenate.gov /statutes /index.cfm ?p =2 &App_ mode= Display_Statute &Search_St... 5/26/2006 Statutes & Constitution :View Statutes :- >2005- >Ch1013- >Section 33 : flsenate.gov Page 3 of 5 (i) An oversight process, including an opportunity for public participation, for the implementation • of the interlocal agreement. (4)(a) The Office of Educational Facilities and SMART Schools Clearinghouse shall submit any comments or concerns regarding the executed interlocal agreement to the state land planning agency within 30 days after receipt of the executed interlocal agreement. The state land planning agency shall review the executed interlocal agreement to determine whether it is consistent with the requirements of subsection (3), the adopted local government comprehensive plan, and other requirements of law. Within 60 days after receipt of an executed interlocal agreement, the state land planning agency shall publish a notice of intent in the Florida Administrative Weekly and shall post a copy of the notice on the agency's Internet site. The notice of intent must state that the interlocal agreement is consistent or inconsistent with the requirements of subsection (3) and this subsection as appropriate. (b) The state land planning agency's notice is subject to challenge under chapter 120; however, an affected person, as defined in s. 163.31.84(1)(a), has standing to initiate the administrative proceeding, and this proceeding is the sole means available to challenge the consistency of an interlocal agreement required by this section with the criteria contained in subsection (3) and this subsection.

The local governing body that regulates the use of land shall determine, in writing within 45 days after receiving the necessary information and a school board's request for a determination, whether a proposed educational facility is consistent with the local comprehensive plan and consistent with local land development regulations. If the determination is affirmative, school construction may commence and further local government approvals are not required, except as provided in this section. Failure of the local governing body to make a determination in writing within 90 days after a district school board's request for a determination of consistency shall be considered an approval of the district school board's application. Campus master plans and development agreements must comply with the provisions of ss. 10.13.30 and 1013.63. (13) A local governing body may not deny the site applicant based on adequacy of the site plan as it relates solely to the needs of the school. If the site is consistent with the comprehensive plan's • land use policies and categories in which public schools are identified as allowable uses, the local government may not deny the application but it may impose reasonable development standards and conditions in accordance with s. 1013.51(1) and consider the site plan and its adequacy as it relates to environmental concerns, health, safety and welfare, and effects on adjacent property. http: / /wNvw. flsenate.gov /statutes /index.cfm ?p =2& App_ mode= Display_Statute &Search_St... 5/26/2006 Statutes & Constitution :View Statutes :- >2005- >Ch1013 -> Section 33 : flsenate.gov Page 5 of 5 Standards and conditions may not be imposed which conflict with those established in this chapter or the Florida Building Code, unless mutually agreed and consistent with the interlocal agreement • required by subsections (2) -(8).

The site plan does not include traffic calming on Ibiza Drive. Please note site plan revisions. 2. The centralized crosswalk should be a raised walkway. Having a raised crosswalk allows calming measures. Please note site plan revision. 3. The crosswalk should be extended across the drive aisle of the south parking lot into the centralized walkway across both parking lots. Please note this item was reviewed and due to drainage and cost impacts, the district will not be able to revise 4. The landscape median that runs parallel to the student drop off/pick up area needs to be planted in such a way to create a solid vegetative hedge wall. Doing so will make it restrictive and impractical for pedestrian traffic to use the landscape median as a shortcut pathway — encouraging persons' to traverse on the centralized walkway. To maintain driver site line visibility the hedge should always be maintained at a maximum height of 24 ". Please note site plan revision. Comments from: • The City of Palm Beach Gardens City, Forester Mark Hendrickson Please be advised that Landscaping is provided on public school sites in accordance with SREF Section 423.10.7 and Florida Statutes 1013.64(3)(c). F.S. 1013.64(3)(c) states: "District school boards shall provide landscaping by local funding sources or initiatives. District school boards are exempt from local landscape ordinances but may comply with the local requirements if such compliance is less costly than compliance with the landscape requirements of the Florida Building Code for public educational facilities' The western buffer is not adequate to screen the residential community from the school. Please install the amount of landscaping that is being proposed with the high school's northern buffer at a minimum along the western buffer of the elementary school. The landscape plan has been revised based on recommendations provided by the City Forester at our meeting on April 20, 2006, at the City complex Please note revisions on the landscape plait. 2. I recommend that you do not use Laurel Oaks to save maintenance cost. The landscape plan has been revised based on recommendations provided by the City Forester at our meeting on April 20, 2006, at the City complex Please note revisions on the landscape plan. 3. The proposed Oak trees in the long narrow median of the bus loop should be located along the north side of the staff parking area in the 90' wide parkway buffer for the best fimction of the tree as a buffer. This would save • on pruning costs in the long run as the tree grows into the loop road and parking area. Suggest the median be planted with small accent palms. Response to DRC Comments 13 Palm Beach Gardens Area Elementary School Mirasol (30 -X) Please note, due to the Florida Building Codes (SREF) shade cover requirements, small accent palms will not be sufficient Oak trees will be planted to satisfy the requirement. However, the district will use Live Oaks instead of Laurel Oaks at the suggestion of the City Forester. •4. CPTED would require you to fence off the western buffer and eastern buffer area. is Please note, based on the discussion at the April 20'h meeting at the City the fencing will be designed as agreed upon by both the District and the City Forester. 5. Timber Trace Elementary and Watkins Middle School share a bus loop. Can this be done here to better use the land area and save resources? Please note this is not a viable option based on the best possible land use for this site. 6. Recommend no cell towers. How tall is the I.T.V. tower? Please note, no cell towers will be located on this site. The I.T.V. tower is 100ft. 7. Wheel stops are tripping hazards. Recommend using a grassed divider and curbing. This is [a] less pervious area and [requires] less maintenance. Please note this alternative was reviewed, due to budget constraints it is not feasible. 8. The site road needs [an] irrigation plan. Please see irrigation plan. With this response package, we believe we have adequately addressed all applicable comments provided by the City of Palm Beach Gardens Development Review Committee. We look forward to receiving the City's approval and introducing the project to the City Council. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Such additional public notice shall be at the expense of the applicant. Discussion In the City's Land Development Regulations, Section 78 -54, entitled Public notice, provides for the requirements for public notice via mail, property posting and newspaper advertisement. The regulations are to ensure the compliance with Florida Statutes public notice requirements for development approvals, as well as provide for additional notice requirements specific to the City. In many instances, Florida Statutes only require advertisement in the local newspaper, whereas the City expands that requirement to include posting of the property and notice by mail. The proposed changes to the land development regulations can be evaluated by three categories; consistency with the City Charter, consistency with Florida Statutes, and differentiating between city - initiated and not city- initiated development applications in order to provide for effective and economical advertising • requirements. Consistency with City Charter First, a majority of the required newspaper advertisements for City Council public hearings have been amended to be consistent with the requirement of the City Charter for ordinances, which is fourteen (14) days. The City staff has been complying with the more restrictive fourteen (14) day requirement of the City Charter for City Council public hearings, so the change will be consistent with current City practices for newspaper advertising requirements. In order to provide for consistency between the City Charter and the City's Land Development Regulations, as well as with the revised newspaper advertising requirement, the public notice requirements for City Council mailers has also been extended to fourteen (14) days, as opposed to the currently enforced ten (l 0) day requirement. In the past, staff has had some comments from residents that the mailers were not received prior to date of the advertised public hearing, so the additional time will be beneficial in ensuring the delivery of the required mailers. Consistency with Florida Statutes The proposed modifications include minor amendments relative to consistency with Florida Statutes. Per Florida Statutes, city- initiated rezonings and small -scale map changes require a 30 -day notice by • mail to the owner of the property directly affected by the action, which has been clarified by the proposed text amendment. In addition, Table 4 has been modified to indicate which applications must be consistent with state law and those areas that exceed state law requirements. The language, Date Prepared: June 1, 2006 Meeting Date: June 13, 2006 Ordinance 16, 2006 Page 10 of 10 • "as required by state law," has been added and removed as applicable to reflect the current requirements of Florida Statutes. City- Initiated and Not City- Initiated Applications The proposed amendment also distinguishes between city- initiated and not city - initiated development applications. Currently, the code requires City Council mail notices to be sent via certified mail with return receipt to provide verification to the City that the notices have been sent. Mail notices for city- initiated petitions will be sent by city staff, so the cost of the certification and return receipt are not needed for verification. This proposed amendment has been added to the text of paragraph (b) describing the requirements for public hearing mailers. In addition, the proposed amendment differentiates between specific types of land -use map changes to include city- initiated, not city- initiated, and map changes specific to the creation of overlays. While the notice requirements for city - initiated and not city - initiated are the same, the city will also be required to notice, via mail, the affected property owner thirty (30) days prior to the public hearing on a small scale comprehensive plan map amendment. The proposed notice requirement for the creation of an overlay is consistent with Florida Statutes and allows for the creation of overlays, which previously has not been provided for in the public notice requirements. General Consistency • The text and Table 4 have both been amended to rovide for overall consistency between the two P Y which is important to ensure regular enforcement of the code. Many minor amendments have been included with the proposed amendment to ensure that consistency. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The proposed amendment will provide for consistency with the notice requirements of the City's Charter, consistency with Florida Statutes, and provide for the differences between city - initiated and not city - initiated items; therefore, staff is recommending approval of Petition LDRA- 06 -05- 000003 and Ordinance 16, 2006. • ,"f, 6j 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 �4 5 26 27 28 Date Prepared: May 24, 2006 ORDINANCE 16, 2006 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA RELATING TO THE PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS; AMENDING SECTION 78 -54, CODE OF ORDINANCES ENTITLED "PUBLIC NOTICE," TO AMEND CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS FOR PUBLIC NOTICE FOR DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS; PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
