BACKGROUND
As you may be aware, the City of Miami Planning Department is preparing a new
City of Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000 to comply with the
Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act,
Chapter 163, Florida Statutes and Chapter 9J-5 FAC, Minimum Criteria for
Review of 'Local Government Comprehensive Plans and Determination of
Compliance. Since the Plan sets City policy, the Planning Department is
making every effort to insure that during its preparation the appropriate
input and review is received from the various City departments affected by the
policies contained in the Plan.
During the past year, the Planning Department staff have developed the
following elements of the Plan as required by DCA.
1. Conservation (of natural resources)
2. Potable Water and Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge
3. Sanitary and Storm Sewers
4. Solid Waste

5. Traffic Circulation (including State and County Roads)
6. Mass Transit
7. Port and Aviation Facilities
8. Recreation, Open Space and Public Facilities
9. Housing
10. Coastal Management
11. Future Land Use (including a nap to be consistent with zoning)
12. Capital Improvements (including a project schedule with funding
identified)
13. Intergovernmental Coordination
14. Optional Elements chosen by the City:
a) Citywide Socio-economic Conditions
b) Neighborhood Development (for CD Target Areas and others)
c) Historic Preservation
The basic format of the criteria for each of the elements requires the
identification of available data, analysis of such data and preparation of
goals, objectives, and policies to accomplish desired ends. The City's plan
must be "consistent with, and further" both the Regional and the State Policy
Plans.
The City of Miami must transmit its proposed comprehensive plan to DCA for
initial compliance review no later than September 1, 1988, having had the
requisite July 28, 1988 public hearing. Within 45 calendar days (or by
October 15, 1988) the DCA will have received written responses on the City
plan from the appropriate State, Regional and County reviewing agencies and
will, within the following 45 calendar days, (or by November 30, 1988) send
back to the City DCA's comments, objectives and recommendations. The City
will then have 60 calendar days (or by January 28, 1989) to, by Ordinance,
adopt or adopt with changes the proposed, revised comprehensive plan. Upon
receipt of the forwarded adopted plan, the DCA shall review, within 45
calendar days, (or by March 12, 1989) the adopted, revised plan to determine
compliance and shall issue a notice of intent to find the plan in compliance
or not in compliance. The pity will then have one year to revise its Zoning
Ordinance to be in conformance with the Land Use Element (and Map) of the
adopted Comprehensive Plan.
The intent of the Florida Legislature is that the public participate in the
comprehensive planning process to the fullest extent possible. During
consideration of the proposed plan the City is directed to provide for broad
dissemination, opportunity for written comment, provision for open discussion
and consideration of, and response to, public comments.
