The 2010 session is behind us, and it’s probably best to focus on what did not happen, especially with regard to growth management and the Department of Community Affairs. Despite promises early in the session that the Legislature would not address growth management, several efforts were made to do just that. A few minor bills did pass, and we spent considerable effort preventing several ill-advised attempts to allow even more exemptions for development interests. Rather than get any traction on our agenda, yet again we had to spend time and effort in a defensive mode.

We are grateful to budget conference chairs Senator J.D. Alexander and Representative David Rivera for their support for a $15 million package for Florida Forever and another $10 million for Everglades restoration. However, in a serious defeat, HB 655 failed, the victim of several last minute unrelated and controversial amendments that caused the bill’s collapse. This would have repealed the artificial cap on Sadowski Work Force Housing trust fund appropriations.

Another major disappointment came with the failure to reauthorize the Department of Community Affairs, especially after the Senate voted 38-0 to allow just that. The House simply refused to take the bill up or allow other bills to be amended with that provision. This failure to act means that while the agency and its budget remained intact, it is in limbo until the Legislature takes it up again in the 2011 session. We argued to no avail that this result would continue adding fuel to the Amendment 4/Hometown Democracy fire. Only the November election results will tell.

As we go to press, the Gulf oil spill continues as the nation’s biggest environmental disaster. Even as oil begins to reach Florida's beaches and wetlands, we know the ecosystems in the Gulf know no borders. The damage caused will affect us regardless. We are exploring ways to help, including the possible creation of a nonprofit environmental trust fund seeded with damage proceeds from the oil spill. This trust would provide grants to nonprofits working on related information, outreach and preparedness projects. We will keep you apprised of our progress.

Thanks to the Florida Department of Community Affairs and 1000 Friends of Florida, Florida Crystals and Palm Beach County have agreed to relocate a proposed massive inland port from Everglades Agricultural Area lands in western Palm Beach County to another site between the rural towns of South Bay and Belle Glade. “This is a win for all involved,” explains 1000 Friends President Charles Pattison. “It will create much needed jobs for area residents while better protecting sensitive lands needed for Everglades restoration.”

The DCA and 1000 Friends opposed Florida Crystals’ efforts to obtain a comprehensive plan amendment for the initial site because of its impacts on Everglades Restoration work. After months of negotiation, in mid-May Florida Crystals, Palm Beach County, DCA and 1000 Friends reached agreement on the new site. The inland port will serve as a distribution center for cargo from ports around South Florida. Palm Beach County must still approve comprehensive plan amendments to allow the inland port at the proposed new location and rescind approval for the initial site.

damaging changes blocked

As is often the case, the 2010 session proved to be a mixed bag for Florida’s growth management advocates. The Legislature failed to reauthorize the Florida Department of Community Affairs, and in the final hours of the session legislation failed that would have removed the artificial cap from the allocation of affordable housing dollars in the state. Newly passed legislation requiring that all substantive state rules be submitted to the Legislature for ratification will prove damaging to growth management unless a gubernatorial veto campaign is successful. Finally, 1000 Friends could not find sponsors for its “citizen bill of rights” amendments. There were a few positive notes. In these challenging economic times, the final budget included $15 million for Florida Forever and at least another $10 million for ongoing Everglades restoration. DCA received funding at the 2009 level, even given the state’s difficult economy. 1000 Friends, DCA and others succeeded in holding off a number of damaging bills and amendments that among other things would have promoted inappropriate exemptions from transportation concurrency and weakened urban service boundaries.

1000 Friends helped block a number of damaging amendments that were proposed in the final days of the session. These included amendments to HB 7099 to weaken Palm Beach County’s urban service boundary and require local governments to create “transportation backlog authorities” to exempt development from transportation concurrency with the intent of benefitting the Callery Judge property in Palm Beach County. 1000 Friends also successfully opposed efforts to create an exemption from concurrency for “transit oriented development.” While the concept was good, the definition allowed exemptions even when the development had no provisions for transit. Efforts were made to include this language in the unsuccessful SB 1742 which was intended to address problems associated with 2009’s SB 360. 1000 Friends also worked with DCA to make sure these provisions were not added to a permitting bill, SB 1126, in the final hours of the session.

As Florida Forever Coalition members look on, Gov. Charlie Crist speaks out in support for funding Florida Forever on Florida Forever Day in Tallahassee.

DCA left in "legislative limbo"Despite many calls, letters and editorials calling for the reauthorization of the Florida Department of Community Affairs, the Legislature failed to adopt the needed legislation. This leaves the state’s land planning agency in a state of limbo for another year and, as 1000 Friends President Charles Pattison explained “more vulnerable to elimination, dismantlement, funding cutbacks and/or excessive political pressure over the coming year.” While the Senate unanimously passed SB 282 reauthorizing the agency, the House refused to take up this bill. Even so, the agency’s budget was kept at the same level as last year.

Two bills include provisions of interest to those concerned about growth management. Section 47 of the “jobs bill,” SB 1752, deals with two aspects of last year’s SB 360. Because SB 360’s constitutionality has been challenged, Section 47 retroactively authorizes exemptions for DRIs in dense urban areas, extends for two years certain permits, and authorizes comprehensive plan amendments creating transportation concurrency exception areas.

HB 7129ER deals with military bases. It requires appropriate local governments to address military base compatibility in the future land use element by June 30, 2012. If the plan does not include compatibility criteria by December 31, 2013, the Administration can impose sanctions if notified by DCA.

Citizen Planning bill of rights Not Addressed1000 Friends once more called for adoption of a Citizen Bill of Rights, including requirements for a supermajority vote of the elected body for all plan amendment changes; a mandatory citizen participation plan and workshops conducted by any developer seeking a land use change; a ”cooling off” period preventing last minute changes to plans before public meetings to allow the public, staff and elected officials time for informed deliberation; preservation of citizen standing status throughout any appeal process; and citizen protection from SLAPP suits associated with any participation in the comprehensive planning process.

1000 Friends offered amendment language but was unable to secure a sponsor. The Florida League of Cities did have a bill that included the mandatory neighborhood planning meeting requirement, but HB 733 never got out of its first committee meeting.

Florida Forever Funded

In a notable victory, the Florida Forever Coalition’s hard work resulted in the approved budget including $15 million for Florida Forever. Given that the state’s popular land acquisition program received no funding in 2009, this year’s funding reflects the state’s continued commitment to conservation. Another $10 million was approved for Everglades restoration, with an additional $40 million if Congress awards Florida some additional Medicaid dollars which would allow for a budget shift of other monies.

Given the current economic and fiscal realities, this appropriation for Florida Forever represents an important statement of continuity for land protection by the state of Florida. We applaud all of you who care deeply about the most important places in our state for your tireless work. We also encourage you to thank Senator J.D. Alexander and Representative David Rivera, the budget conference chairs, for their support of Florida Forever.

The damaging HB 1565 requires that all substantive rules be submitted to the Legislature for ratification. This could mean that rules that went through months or even years of public workshops, technical meetings and hearings could fail to be ratified if a well-paid lobbyist were hired to block the ratification in the Legislature. HB 1565 could impact rules by the Department of Community Affairs, Department of Environmental Protection, Water Management District Governing Boards, and other bodies addressing environmental and growth issues. Please contact Gov. Crist at 850-488-7146 or charlie.crist@myflorida.com and ask him to veto the damaging HB 1565.

Palm beach and martin County updates1000 Friends is actively engaged on three proposed comprehensive plan amendments in Palm Beach County. These would allow density increases without having to meet the affordable housing requirements now in place. Not only would these amendments hurt workforce housing needs, but also set bad precedents for similar requests in Palm Beach County and elsewhere.

Established as part of a 1995 settlement agreement with DCA, the Agricultural Reserve is being threatened by a proposed land swap that would allow residential development in the very area being protected for agricultural uses. 1000 Friends sees this as a significant threat to this special area, which was created in part through a public bond referendum. We will be voicing our objections to county commissioners.

To the north, we have raised substantive concerns about a series of EAR-based amendments in Martin County. These threaten the integrity of the urban service boundary and promote the location of commercial and institutional uses in rural areas. We have expressed our concerns to the county commission as well as DCA, and will actively oppose any effort to adopt such far-reaching amendments.

Thanks to the Florida bar FoundationThe Florida Bar Foundation has provided major support for 1000 Friends of Florida’s Affordable Housing Program since that initiative was first launched in 1991. The substantial support of the Florida Bar Foundation has been the underpinning for such successes as the Sadowski Act dedicated funding for state and local housing trust funds, the implementation of smart growth principles including inclusionary housing policies, the production and preservation of affordable housing using public private partnerships throughout the state, and the emphasis on mission-based nonprofits working to expand housing opportunities for our most vulnerable populations. 1000 Friends of Florida is deeply appreciative of this ongoing support provided by the Florida Bar Foundation.

Housing bills to repeal the cap on the state and local affordable housing trust funds (HB 665 sponsored by Representative Aubuchon and SB 262 sponsored by Senator Bennett) passed the House and Senate, but will not become law. The housing bill became a vehicle for an unrelated amendment filed by Senator Bennett that was unacceptable to the House, and died in messages between the two houses.

Affordable Housing Director Jaimie Ross explains that a great deal of gratitude is owed to so many of our members who put effort into getting this legislation passed. 1000 Friends of Florida especially thanks Representative Gary Aubuchon for once again moving the repeal of the cap bill successfully through the House.

This year was also bad for affordable housing in that the Legislature once again swept nearly all the housing trust fund money into general revenue. Approximately $175 million was swept into general revenue; $37.5 million was appropriated for the Florida Housing Finance Corporation’s single family revenue bond program. No money was appropriated for SHIP (the State Housing Initiatives Partnership) which provides funding for local governments to implement the housing elements of their comprehensive plans.

"Silver Tsunami" raising Affordable Housing and Community Design IssuesBy the year 2030, more than one-third of Florida’s residents will be 60 and older. The challenge of finding ways to address how homes, communities and mobility choices can be senior-friendly and boomer-ready in time for this coming generational storm is addressed in a new report produced by the Florida Department of Elder Affairs and the Florida Housing Coalition. Blueprint for Affordable Elder Housing estimates that 4.4 million housing units will be needed for this population. In other significant findings, most of these ten million individuals will have driver licenses and plans to “age in place,” or remain in their homes as they age. About a million of these seniors may be living in poverty.

The report identifies a range of steps to prepare for the “Silver Tsunami” headed for Florida. These include promoting regulatory changes to local and state comprehensive plans and local regulatory implementing codes, increasing public awareness of the issues, working with the private sector to promote small and efficient homes and encourage adaptive reuse, and encouraging local jurisdictions to use financial resources to assist aging in place.

“Smart growth development that connects housing to transportation and provides opportunities for aging in place should be promoted and embraced by government and the private sector,” says 1000 Friends Affordable Housing Director Jaimie Ross, who assisted with writing the report. The report is available at www.communitiesforalifetime.org/docs/THEBLuEPRINT.pdf.

Florida’s annual affordable housing conference will focus its public policy plenary session this year on the connections between housing, transportation and the environment. Studies have shown that transit-oriented design and transportation accessibility can reduce transportation costs for low-income families while lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Currently, these families spend nearly 20 percent of their income on transportation.

To coordinate federal funding programs, HUD, DOT and EPA are partnering on a new Sustainable Communities Initiative. Ron Sims, the HUD Deputy Secretary in charge of this initiative, will serve as keynote speaker at the Florida Housing Coalition conference, to be held at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort in Orlando on September 20-22. 1000 Friends Affordable Housing Director Jaimie Ross is designing the event. Please go to www.flhousing.org for more information.

dca Secretary tom pelham honored with

bill Sadowski award

In recognition of his decades of visionary leadership in growth management, Florida Department of Community Affairs Secretary Tom Pelham received 1000 Friends of Florida’s Bill Sadowski Award at the Florida Chamber’s 26th annual Growth Management, Climate Change and the Environment Short Course. The Sadowski award is presented annually to a public servant at the regional or state level whose work exemplifies the strong sense of vision for which the former DCA Secretary was known. 1000 Friends President Charles Pattison and Board Members Milissa Holland, Steve Pfeiffer and Allen Watts presented the award in Orlando on February 23. Noting Secretary Pelham’s strong track record in promoting sustainable development and protecting rural and natural lands in Florida, Pattison said, “Tom has been a truly extraordinary advocate for effective growth management. He has provided strong and steady leadership during a period of major economic downturn, reduced DCA staffing and funding, and an astonishing level of development projects seeking approval.” Pelham is currently serving his second term as Secretary of the Department of Community Affairs. Since his appointment by Governor Crist in January of 2007, Pelham has fought hard to protect the integrity of Florida’s growth management process. Under his leadership, the Florida Governor and Cabinet have upheld three landmark cases that confirm the right of communities to establish and maintain strong urban service boundaries. He has played a leading role in protecting the state’s rural and natural lands and improving Florida’s Rural Land Stewardship Program. The award also recognizes his leadership on implementing significant state growth management legislation, including Senate Bill 360 and House Bill 697 relating to climate change. Previously, Pelham served as Secretary from 1987 to 1991, in Governor Bob Martinez’s administration. During that time, he played a central role overseeing the initial implementation of Florida’s landmark 1985 Growth Management Act.

Workshops link Community Design, Climate Change and Healthy living

Participants at six day-long workshops held around the state explored how communities with active living features such as sidewalks and bike paths connecting homes, schools and shops can impart significant health benefits for residents while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The Florida Department of Health (DOH) and 1000 Friends of Florida conducted the workshops to explore the myriad connections between community design, climate change, and public health.

More than 250 public health officials, community planners and concerned citizens attended the Spring series of workshops, held in Ft. Lauderdale, Jacksonville, Orlando, Pensacola, Sarasota, and Tallahassee. The DOH is using feedback received during the meetings to assist with development of an agency strategic plan and to improve local collaboration. The presentations are available at www.1000friendsofflorida.org.

DOH Environmental Public Health Planner Sandra Whitehead explains that climate change is an emerging public health issue. “With the strategic plan in place, DOH can move forward with tracking the effects and preparing our workforce to develop adaptation plans,” notes Whitehead. “We have already begun our mitigation plans through the requirement for every county health department to develop and implement a green plan.” 1000 Friends and the DOH are exploring options to partner on similar projects in the near future.

What are the most important priorities for conservation advocates in the Florida Panhandle? This was the central question discussed by representatives of conservation groups and state, regional and local government agencies at a February 5 meeting at the E.O. Wilson Biophilia Center in Bruce, Florida.

The group listened to presentations on land conservation activities currently underway and discussed proposals for large developments and transportation corridors in the region. Workshop participants then identified a series of consensus items related to transportation, land conservation, land management, climate change and planning, and determined priority conservation areas and linkages.

Conservation Priorities for the Florida PanhandleTopping the list of priorities are minimizing habitat fragmentation and promoting connectivity when designing new development and transportation corridors, securing continued funding for Florida Forever, and supporting the creation of viable land trusts and promoting conservation easements in the region. Participants also gave high rankings to linking coastal protection and climate change strategies, establishing a regional visioning process similar to Central Florida’s MyRegion.org, and developing education and planning strategies to limit urban sprawl and encourage sustainability as top priorities.

The next step, according to 1000 Friends Community Planner Dan Pennington, is to build capacity by enhancing working

relationships among conservation groups, citizens, resource agencies and local government leaders. “We also need to identify sensitive habitat areas and use local planning strategies to promote sustained connectivity when designing new development and transportation corridors.”

The meeting was coordinated by 1000 Friends and Defenders of Wildlife. 1000 Friends thanks M.C. Davis for hosting the event and allowing use of the E.O. Wilson Biophilia Center, and The Jelks Family Foundation for helping to underwrite other costs associated with the event.
