Item B1 Chapter 6 Monroe County 2010 Comprehensive Plan
Evaluation and Appraisal Report
CHAPTER 6: ASSESSMENT OF CHANGES TO FLORIDA STATUTES
[163.3191(2)(F)]
Introduction
Chapter 163.3191(1), F.S. requires that the EAR contain an evaluation and assessment of
relevant changes to Chapter 163, F.S. since adoption of the last EAR-base Plan
amendments on May 1, 2007. This analysis (Appendix 3) was conducted utilizing all of
the relevant changes that have occurred to these documents since that time.
When an inconsistency is identified, such as a requirement not currently addressed in the
Plan, the appropriate element is identified for update as part of the upcoming EAR-based
Plan amendments.
Changes to Chapter 163, F.S.
As previously stated, in the Summer of 2011, HB 7207 (Ch. 2011-139, Laws of Florida)
significantly revised Chapter 163, F.S. Previously the EAR process was required to
review comprehensive plans for consistency with state, regional and local policies on
planning and growth management and changing conditions and trends. Now the EAR
process only requires an analysis of changes to state requirements in Chapter 163, F.S.
and changes in local conditions. Because Rule 9J-5, F.A.C. was repealed from the
Florida Administrative Code, no analysis is required through the EAR process of changes
to that Rule.
