The School Board and affected local government will enter into a letter of agreement as to the timing, location, and the party or parties responsible for constructing, operating and maintaining the required on-site and off-site improvements, respectively. This section shall not be construed to require the affected local unit of government to bear any costs of infrastructure improvements related to school improvements. Section 6. Public Education Facilities Site Plan Review 6.1 The School Board and the County will continue to coordinate any and all proposed construction or expansion of public educational facilities, including the general location of new schools in unincorporated Monroe County, with the applicable statutory requirements and environmental protection provisions of the Monroe County Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan and local land development regulations. The School Board will coordinate any and all proposed construction or expansion of public educational facilities, including the location of new schools or relocatables, within any City's jurisdiction with applicable statutory requirements and environmental protection provisions of that City's adopted comprehensive plan and land development regulations.

Section 7. Local Planninq Aqency. Comprehensive Plan Amendments, Rezoninqs, and Development Approvals 7.1 Pursuant to Section 163.3174 (1), Florida Statutes, the County and Cities will invite a representative appointed by the School Board, as a non-voting member, to attend meetings of their local planning agencies or equivalent agencies that first consider comprehensive plan amendments and rezonings at which comprehensive plan amendments and rezonings are considered that would, if approved, increase residential density. The County and Cities may, at their sole discretion, appoint such School Board representative to the planning agency, and grant voting status to the School Board member. 7.2 The School Board will designate a staff representative to serve in an advisory support capacity on the County's staff development review committee, or equivalent body. In addition, the School Board representative will be invited to participate at the meetings of the Cities' staff development review committees, or equivalent body, as appropriate, when development and redevelopment proposals are proposed that would create an increase in the number of residential units. It shall be the responsibility of School Board staff to review the Page 6 of 17 STAFF DRAFT ILA REVISED: June 17, 2003 potential impact of a_proposed (re) development based on current Florida Inventory of School Houses (FISH) capacity (both permanent and relocatables) and be prepared to convey this information in writing to the local staff development review committees at least five days prior to the meeting or development review committee review, for their consideration. The School Board shall only be required to provide such review where the proposed (re) development will result in an increase of thirty (30) new units. This figure shall be considered only as a review threshold and shall not be construed to obligate the County or a City to deny a development should the School Board fail to identify options to meet anticipated demand or should the collaborative process described in this Section fail to yield a means to ensure sufficient capacity. A copy of the plans shall be delivered to the School Board representative at least 15 working days prior to the proposed meeting date, or on the date the agenda is distributed. 7.3 The County and the Cities agree to transmit to the School Board copies of proposed land use applications and development proposals that may affect student enrollment, enrollment projections, or school facilities. This requirement applies to amendments to the comprehensive plan future land use map, rezonings, developments of regional impact, and other major residential or mixed-use development projects with a residential component. 7.4 Within 30 days after receipt of notification by the local government, which notification shall include development plans, the School Board will advise the local government of the school enrollment impacts anticipated to result from the proposed land use application or development proposal and whether sufficient capacity exists or is planned to accommodate the impacts. School capacity will be reported consistent with State Requirements for Educational Facilities, and shall be based on current FISH capacity at impacted schools (including permanent and relocatable satisfactory student stations), as well as any proposed student station additions in the area of impact. The School Board will also include capacity information on approved charter schools that provide relief in the area of impact. 7.5 If sufficient capacity is not available or planned to serve the development at the time of impact, the School Board will determine and specify the options available to it to meet the anticipated student enrollment demand. Alternatively, the School Board, local government, and developer will use their best efforts to collaboratively develop options that aim to provide the capacity to accommodate new students generated from the new residential development. The School Board shall be responsible to review and consider funding options for the incremental increase in the projected number of students which include, but are not limited to, creation of new community development districts pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, creation of educational facilities benefit districts as described in Section 1013.355, Florida Statutes, other available broad-based funding mechanisms to fund school capital construction, developer contributions in the form of land donation set asides, monetary contributions, or developer provided facility improvements in lieu of impact fees and other School Board approved measures such as public charter schools, public-private partnerships, or a combination of any of these. In its analysis of need, School Board staff shall also include information on the estimated educational facilities impact fee Page 7 of 17 STAFF DRAFf ILA REVISED: June 17, 2003 revenues to be generated by the development, as well as on any other available funding for capital projects specifically intended to mitigate the area of impact. This Section shall not be construed to obligate a City to impose, assess or collect a school impact fee, unless provided by general law. As it relates to the collection of impact fees, this provision shall not be subject to dispute resolution under Section 9 of this Agreement. This Section shall not be construed to obligate a City or County to deny a development should the School Board fail to identify options to meet anticipated demand or should the collaborative process described in this Section fail to yield a means to ensure sufficient capacity. 7.6 In the review and consideration of comprehensive plan amendments, rezonings, and development proposals, and their respective potential school impacts, the County and Cities should consider the following issues: a. School Board comments, which may include available school capacity or planned improvements to increase school capacity, including School Board approved charter schools and operational constraints (e.g., establishment of or modifications to attendance boundaries and controlled choice zones), if any, that may impact school capacity within an area, including public-private partnerships; b. The provision of school sites and facilities within planned neighborhoods; c. Compatibility of land uses adjacent to existing schools and reserved or proposed school sites; d. The potential for collocation of parks, recreation and neighborhood facilities with school sites; e. The potential for linkage of schools, parks, libraries and other public facilities with bikeways, trails, and sidewalks for safe access; f. Traffic circulation plans that serve schools and the surrounding neighborhood, including off-site signalization, signage, and access improvements; g. The general location of public schools proposed in the five-year work plan as well as other available information over a ten and 20- year time frame. 7.7 In formulating community development plans and programs, the County and Cities should consider the following issues: a. Giving priority to scheduling capital improvements that are coordinated with and meet the capital needs identified in the School Board District Educational Facilities Plan; Page 8 of 17 ST AFF DRAFf ILA REVISED: June 17, 2003 b. Providing incentives that promote collaborative efforts between the School Board and the private sector to develop adequate school facilities in residential developments; c. Targeting community development improvements in older and distressed neighborhoods near existing or proposed School Board owned and operated public schools and School Board approved charter schools; and d. Coordination with neighboring jurisdictions to address public school issues of mutual concern. e. Approval and funding of community development benefit districts (COD'S) and other available funding mechanisms created by state law. Section 8. Collocation and Shared Use 8.1 Collocation and shared use of facilities are important to both the School Board and local governments. The School Board and Cities and County will work together, via the staff working group, to look for opportunities to collocate and share use of school facilities and civic facilities when preparing the District Educational Facilities Plan. Likewise, collocation and shared use opportunities will be considered by the local governments when preparing the annual update to the comprehensive plan's schedule of capital improvements and when planning and designing new, or renovating existing, community facilities. For example, potential opportunities for collocation and shared use with public schools will be considered where compatible for existing or planned libraries, parks, recreation facilities, community centers, auditoriums, learning centers, museums, performing arts centers, and stadiums. In addition, the potential for collocation and shared use of school and governmental facilities for joint use by the community will also be considered. 8.2 A separate agreement or an amendment to a master agreement between the School Board and the appropriate local government will be developed for each instance of collocation and shared use, which addresses legal liability, operating and maintenance costs, scheduling of use, and facility supervision or any other issues that may arise from collocation and shared use. Section 9. Resolution of Disputes 9.1 If the parties to this agreement are unable to resolve any issue in which they may be in disagreement covered in this agreement, the applicable parties to the dispute will employ dispute resolution procedures pursuant to Chapter 164 or Chapter 186, Florida Statutes, as amended from time to time, or any other mutually acceptable means of alternative dispute resolution. Each party shall bear their own attorney's fees. Section 10. Oversioht Process 10.1 The School Board, the County, and a representative from each Municipality shall individually review the information provided by the Staff Working Group in a public hearing annually.
