NEWS FROM THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE
On
July 8, the Governor vetoed SB
1712, an act relating to Agricultural Economic Development.
FAPA, 1000 Friends of Florida, Audubon of Florida, and the Florida
Department of Community Affairs were opposed to the bill and asked for
the veto. In his veto letter, the Governor stated that while he
supported the bill's intent, he had four concerns that caused him to
withhold his support: (1) the legislation could prompt the
premature conversion of agricultural lands to development; (2) the bill's
ambiguity and vagueness of its definitions could expand the scope of the
bill beyond its intent; (3) because of the bill's vagueness, litigation
is likely to result; and (4) the bill violates the Governor's central
tenet of his growth management philosophy, that local decisions should be
made at the local level. With regard to this last point, the
Governor made the following statement: "State oversight of
growth management should be reserved for those issues of truly statewide
concern, such as the protection of critical natural resources, ensuring
adequate infrastructure, and preservation of our agricultural
industry." The Governor's veto letter should soon be posted to http://www.myflorida.com/myflorida/government/laws/2004legislation/2004action.html.
Over
the past three weeks, the Governor signed several bills into law
affecting future land development, water supply, transportation and the
preservation of natural resources. These bills include the
following:
SB
2188 - An act relating to land development, which provides options
for local governments to encourage and expand affordable housing;
promotes a variety of land uses in urban areas through redevelopment and
rezoning; requires local governments to collaboratively address water
supply sources necessary to meet current and future needs; and expands
the rural stewardship program statewide, which will help contain urban
sprawl, preserve natural and rural areas, and protect property rights.
HB
293 - An act relating to water resources, which addresses several
issues concerning water policy, including strengthening the link between
growth management and water supply planning.
SB
1456 - An act relating to transportation, which represents the next
step toward directing state transportation funding to the state's
transportation priorities on the Strategic Intermodal System. The
legislation also requires MPOs to identify and prioritize transportation
projects designated as part of the Strategic Intermodal System.
SB
1214 - An act relating to the Wekiva Parkway & Protection Act,
which implements the recommendations of the Wekiva River Basin
Coordinating Committee.
NEWS FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF
COMMUNITY AFFAIRS
A
2004 legislative summary of growth management-related bills is now posed
to the Division of Community Planning's webpage at http://www.dca.state.fl.us/fdcp/DCP/Legislation/2004/2004sum.pdf
The
three Environmental Land Management Study Committee final reports,
commonly referred to as ELMS I, ELMS II and ELMS III, prepared in 1973,
1984 and 1992 respectively, are now on the Department's website. Other
publications previously not available on line also have been scanned and

NEWS FROM THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
The
Division of Recreation and Parks published a Notice of the 2005-2006
Application Submission Cycle and Application Workshops for the Florida
Recreation Development Assistance Program. The application submission
period is September 13-October 13, 2004. For more information, visit
http://tlhora6.dep.state.fl.us/onw/publications/5-FRDAPsubcycle-7-2-04-INT.pdf
Living Waters: Aquatic Preserves of Florida, a film on Florida's
aquatic preserves, received a national Telly Award this month at the
Louis Wolfson 16th Annual Film & Video Awards in Miami. Airing
statewide on public television, the documentary showcases a dozen of the
state's 41 aquatic preserves, highlighting their natural and cultural
significance. Produced and directed by the Live Oak Production Group's
Elam Stoltzfus, Living Waters is hosted by renowned Florida artist Clyde
Butcher and features original music by Floridian Sammy Tedder. Upcoming
airings of the movie are August 18, WJCT/Jacksonville and August 26,
WMFE/Orlando.
On
June 28, Florida joined forces with the U.S. Department of
Defense to conserve 8,737 acres of black bear country in North Florida.
Approved by Governor Jeb Bush and the Florida Cabinet four months ago,
the acquisition is the first of its kind under a new Congressional
authority, allowing the armed forces to partner with states and
non-profit organizations to reduce encroachment on military operations by
preserving habitat. Florida and the Army National Guard agreed to protect
land adjacent to the Camp Blanding Joint Training Center in Clay County.
The federal government contributed half a million dollars to preserve 200
acres, while the State invested more than $12 million in over 8,500 acres
of environmentally-sensitive land. The 8,737-acre buffer is a part of the
Northeast Florida Timberlands Florida Forever project, which spans more
than 157,000 acres and protects a contiguous belt of green space
stretching from the Osceola to the Ocala National Forest. For more
information, visit http://www.dep.state.fl.us/lands/acquisition/FloridaForever/default.htm.
TEA-21 UPDATE
Prior
to the Independence Day holiday, Congress approved and the President
signed H.R. 4635, extending the TEA-21 law for the fourth time.
H.R. 4635 simply extends the deadline through the end of July. The
purpose of the extension is to give conferees additional time to
reconcile the House and Senate versions of the TEA-21 legislation.

QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE NATION'S 100 LARGEST CITIES AND THEIR
SUBURBS
Released in June 2004, and drawing on data from the U.S.
Census Bureau and Federal Bureau of Investigation, this University of New
York report examines how well the 100 largest cities and their suburbs
fared on key quality of life indicators between 1990 and 2000. The report
also highlights results of correlations for a set of quality of life
indicators with measures of racial/ethnic diversity and with measures of
maternal/infant health. This information should be useful to urban and
regional planners involved with issues around public housing,
transportation, urban sprawl, police and fire safety, and
education. Click here
to download a PDF version of the report or go to http://www.downstate.edu/urbansoc_healthdata/
and select "Reports."
THE STATE OF THE NATION'S HOUSING
2004
Women and minorities will play a larger role in housing's
future, according to the 2004 State of the Nation's Housing report
released today, at the Ford Foundation, by Harvard University's Joint Center
for Housing Studies. The report goes on to state that in the longer run,
the housing industry is well positioned for another strong decade. New Joint
Center projections suggest household growth between 2005 and 2015 will
be at least ten percent higher than previously projected--bringing the
total increase to over 13 million households. The report is available as
a PDF file at http://www.jchs.harvard.edu/publications/markets/son2004.pdf
SMART GROWTH IS SMART BUSINESS
The National Association of Local Government Environmental Professionals
(NALGEP) and the Smart Growth Leadership Institute partnered to produce
this report. It profiles 17 businesses and business groups that are
putting smart growth into action in communities across the nation. It
outlines the reasons why these business leaders are supporting smart
growth policies and projects, and it puts forth five key smart growth
business approaches. Go to http://www.sgli.org/SGisSBfinal.pdf
to read the report.
ENERGY AND SMART GROWTH
This paper, by the Funder's Network for Smart Growth and Livable
Communities, contends there is much to be gained by expanding the smart
growth movement to include greater attention on energy. It provides a
brief background on current energy trends and programs, relevant to smart
growth. It then presents a framework for understanding the connections
between energy and land use which focuses on two primary issues: how to
build, which involves neighborhood and building design, and where to
build, meaning that location matters. The final section offers
suggestions to funders interested in helping accelerate the merger of
these fields. For a copy of the paper, click here
or go to http://www.fundersnetwork.org.
The paper is listed under "Latest Resources and Events."
THE COSTS OF SPRAWL
RECONSIDERED: WHAT THE DATA REALLY SHOW
Written by by Wendell Cox and Joshua Utt and published by The
Heritage Foundation, this new report challenges the theoretical planning
assumptions that low density sprawling development is more costly than
the more dense development of central cities. The executive summary is
posted to http://www.heritage.org/Research/SmartGrowth/bg1770es.cfm.
This site also includes a link to the full report.
TRANSIT GROWING IN SMALLER
COMMUNITIES IN THE SOUTH AND WEST
A new analysis by the Natural Resources Defense Council and
the Surface Transportation Policy Project finds that over the last five
years, mid-size urban areas in the South and West have been making
significant investments in public transportation, such as light rail and
buses. This growing commitment to provide more transportation choices has
been advanced by federal transportation funding provided in TEA-21.
To read the full analysis, go to www.nrdc.org/air/transportation/pfunding.asp
SAFETY MANAGEMENT IN DISASTER AND
TERRORISM RESPONSE
This report makes recommendations regarding the planning, training,
coordination, and management procedures that are needed to protect
emergency responders at the scene of terrorist attacks and disasters. In
particular, the recommendations include enhancing preparedness planning
to assure that all emergency responders can be protected within the
Incident Command System, which is the standard overarching management
structure used in disaster response and called for under the newly
established National Incident Management System. For more information, go
to http://www.rand.org/publications/MG/MG170/.
TDRS AND OTHER MARKET-BASED LAND MECHANISMS: HOW THEY WORK
AND THEIR ROLE IN SHAPING METROPOLITAN GROWTH
Using case studies and a national survey, this Brookings
report, written by William Fulton, Jan Mazurek, Rick Pruetz and Chris
Williamson, examines TDRs and other market-based land preservation
techniques like mitigation banking and density transfer fees. Go to
http://www.brookings.edu/urban/publications/20040629_fulton.htm

WANTED: OLD CHINA HANDS!
Do you remember the tradition of FAPA's Old China Hands
reception, when the casual mixer offered members--old and new--the chance
to renew friendships, enjoy successes, commiserate misfortunes (hopefully
they were few), and mentor new planners? We successfully returned
to that tradition last year and revived the camaraderie and warmth of the
Old China Hands mixer. In the past, it was customary to pass the hat
among "old china hands" to help cover certain expenses.
Instead, we are asking Old China Hands to consider making a small
donation (no more than $20) to the Old China Hands Mixer for the 2004
FAPA Conference. Your check should be made payable to "Florida
APA" and mailed to the address at the bottom of this electronic
newsletter. There will be appropriate recognition at the event.
PROPOSE A SESSION FOR THE 2005 NATIONAL PLANNING CONFERENCE
Next year's National Planning Conference will be March 19-23 in San
