3.6 Public School Facilities Element
fa) Initial comprehensive plan amendments related to the Public Schools
Facilities Element to satisfy the requirements of Chapter 2005-98. Laws of
Florida: The amendments to the Public School Facilities Element and
related amendments to the Capital Improvements Element and the
Intergovernmental Coordination Element in the County's and Cities'
comprehensive plans ("school -related element amendments" or "school -
related element provisions") required to satisfy Chapter 2005-98, Laws of
Florida are being adopted into the comprehensive plans of the County and
Cities concurrently with the execution of this
Agreement by the County and Cities. Some provisions relevant to public
schools may remain in the Future Land Use Element or other elements as
may be appropriate.
(b) Subsequent school -related element amendments: Thereafter, the
experience with implementing the revised comprehensive plans and the
School Board's District Facilities Work Program shall be reviewed by the
County and Cities each year, at a Staff Working Group meeting to be held
no later than April 30 (County's first comprehensive plan amendment
cycle) or October 31 (County's second comprehensive plan amendment
cycle), to determine whether updates to the comprehensive plans are
required. At a minimum, the District Facilities Work Program shall be
updated annually by the addition of a new fifth year as provided in Section
9.3. Any other amendments to the comprehensive plans shall be
transmitted in time to allow their adoption concurrently with the update to
the District Facilities Work Program, where feasible. Amendments to the
comprehensive plans shall be considered in accordance with the County's
comprehensive planning cycle.
(c) School Board review of school -related element amendments: All
school -related element amendments shall be provided to the School
Board at least ninety (90) days prior to transmittal (or adoption if no
transmittal is required). The School Board shall review the school -related
element amendments and provide comments, if any, to the relevant local
government either (i) in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the local
planning agency meeting on the school -related element amendment, or (ii)
by attending and providing comments at the local planning agency
meeting.
(d) Countywide consistency of school -related element amendments: The
County's and Cities' school -related element provisions must be consistent
with the uniform district -wide public school concurrencv system, with each
other, and with the School Board's facilities plans and policies. Each City
may choose to adopt ail or a portion of the County's school -related
July 17, 2007 Transmittal Draft
element provisions into its comprehensive plan by reference, or it may
adopt its own school -related element provisions. If a City adopts its own
school -related element provisions, any goal, objective, policy or other
provision relevant to the establishment and maintenance of a uniform
district wide public school concurrency system shall be substantially the
same as its counterpart in the County comprehensive plan and other
Cities' comprehensive plans. If any school -related element amendment is
proposed that deviates from the uniform district -wide public school
concurrency system, it shall not become effective until the last party
adopts it into its comprehensive plan. Such proposals shall be forwarded
to the Staff Working Group for review, and the adoption of any such
changes shall be timed to coincide with the Countv's comprehensive plan
amendment cycle. Once each City and the County have adopted such a
plan amendment and these amendments have all become effective, then
the new requirement shall apply countywide. Each City and the County
may adopt the District Facilities Work Program into its comprehensive plan
either by reference or by restatement of the relevant portions of that
Facilities Work Program, but in no event shall a City or the County attempt
to modify that Facilities Work Program. The County and Cities agree to
coordinate the timing of approval of school -related element amendments,
to the extent that it is feasible to do so. To the extent that a proposed
school -related element amendment is inconsistent with this Amended -and
-Restated-Agreement, an amendment to this Agreement shall also be
required before the amended element becomes effective.
(e) Evaluation and Appraisal Report: In addition to the other coordination
procedures provided for in this Agreement, at the
time of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report, the County and Cities shall
schedule at least one Staff Workinq Group meeting with the School Board
to address needed updates to the school -related comprehensive plan
provisions.

7.6 In the review and consideration of comprehensive plan amendments,
rezonings, and dDevelopment of Regional Impact proposals or
amendments, 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

obligated to delay final action by the County Commission or City
Council;
b. The provision of school sites and facilities within planned
neighborhoods;
16
July 17, 2007 Transmittal Draft
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; and
g. The general location of public schools proposed in the District
Facilities Work Program as well as other
available information over a ten (10), and twenty (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 District
Facilities Work Program
Plan;
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
(CDD,Ss) 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,. the SSPCC,
and the Citizens Oversight Committee to look for opportunities to collocate
and share use of school facilities and civic facilities when preparing the
District Facilities Work Program District Educational Facilities Plan.
17
July 17, 2007 Transmittal Draft
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.
8.3 Collocation and shared use as provided for in this Amended -and
Restated -Agreement may include the sharing of county and municipal
facilities for student use, such as use of a park for park purposes by
students from a neighboring public school, and similarly may include the
use of public school facilities by the community.
Section 9. Implementation of Public School Concurrence
9.1 This section establishes the mechanisms for coordinating the
development, adoption, and amendment of the District Facilities Work
Program, as well as the Public School Facilities Elements and the
Intergovernmental Coordination and Capital Improvements Elements of
the County and Cities' comprehensive plans, in order to implement a
uniform d+stristwidedistrict wide public school concurrency system as
required by law.
9.2 The School Board, County and Cities agree to the following
principles for public school concurrencv in Miami -Dade County:
(a) Capacity Methodology and Formula for Availability. The
uniform methodology for determining if a particular school is overcapacity
shall be determined by the School Board and adopted into the Countv's
and Cities' comprehensive plans. The School Board hereby selects
Florida Inventory of School Houses (FISH) capacity as the uniform
methodology to determine the capacity of each school. The capacity and
enrollment numbers for a school shall be determined once a year, in
October.
18
July 17, 2007 Transmittal Draft
The School Board will issue an evaluation report determining whether
adequate school capacity exists for a proposed development, based on
the adopted Level of Service Standards, concurrence service areas, and
other standards set forth in this Agreement, as
follows:
1. Calculate total school facility capacity by adding
the capacity provided by an existing school facility to the capacity of
any planned school facilities programmed to provide relief to that
school facility, listed in the first three (3) years of the District
Facilities Work Program.
2. Calculate available school facility capacity by
subtracting from the total school facility capacity the sum of:
a. Current student enrollment (school facility capacity
consumed by preexisting development);
b. The portion of reserved capacity having a valid
unexpired certificate of concurrency from the School Board;
and
c. The portion of previously approved development
(vested from concurrency) projected to be developed within
three (3) years.
3. Calculate the proposed development's demand for
school facility capacity by:
a. Applying the student generation rate to the proposed
development to determine its total demand; and
b. Subtracting a credit for the total district -wide capacity
of magnet and charter school facilities that are not in excess
of the adopted Level of Service Standard.
4. Subtract the proposed development's demand for
school facility capacity from the available school facility
capacity to determine if there is a deficit. If so, repeat the process
to determine if school facility capacity is available in any contiguous
Concurrency Service Area ("CSA") in the same impact fee benefit
district.
The School Board may charge a non-refundable application fee payable to
the School Board to reimburse the cost to review matters related to public

school concurrencv. In that event, payment may be required prior to the
commencement of review.
In evaluating a final subdivision, site plan, or functional equivalent for
concurrence. any relevant programmed improvements in the current year,
or Years 2 or 3 of the District Facilities Work Program shall be considered
available capacity for the project and factored into the Level of Service
analysis. Any relevant programmed improvements in Years 4 or 5 of the
District Facilities Work Program shall not be considered available capacity
for the project unless funding to accelerate the improvement is assured
through the School Board, through proportionate share mitigation or some
other means of assuring adequate capacity will be available within three
(3) years. Relocatable classrooms may be used by the Miami -Dade
County Public School System as an operational solution during
replacement, renovation, remodeling or expansion of a public school
facility; and in the event of a disaster or emergency which prevents the
School Board from using a portion of the affected school facility.
(NOTE: School Board staff members are checking to ensure that
there are no other circumstances in which relocatables may
continue to be relevant, such as for additional exceptional student
classrooms.]
(b) Level of Service Standards: Public school concurrencv shall be
applied on a less than district -wide basis, to concurrencv service areas as
described in subsection (c). Level of Service standards for public school
facilities apply to those traditional educational facilities, owned and
operated by Miami -Dade County Public Schools, that are required to serve
the residential development within their established concurrencv service
area. Level of Service standards do not apply to maqnet schools, charter
schools, and other educational facilities that may have districtwidedistrict
wide attendance boundaries; however, their capacity is credited against
the impact of development. However, no credit against the impact of
development shall be given for such distr-istvAdedistrict wide educational
facilities if their enrollment is at, or above, 100% FISH capacity (With
Relocatable Classrooms).
The uniform. district -wide Level of Service Standards for Public School
Facilities are initially set as follows, and shall be adopted in the Countv's
and Cities' Public School Facilities Elements and Capital Improvements
Elements:
1. The adopted Level of Service (LOS) Standard for all
Miami -Dade County Public School facilities is 100% FISH
Capacity (With Relocatable Classrooms). This LOS
Standard shall be applicable in each public school
20
July 17, 2007 Transmittal Draft
concurrencv service area (CSA), defined as the public
school attendance boundary established by the Miami -Dade
County Pulllic Schools. All public school facilities should
continue to maintain or decrease their percent utilization of
FISH capacity (With Relocatable Classrooms). Public
school facilities that achieve 100% utilization of FISH
Capacity (No Relocatable Classrooms) should no longer
utilize relocatable classrooms except as an operational
solution.
2. It is the goal of Miami -Dade County Public Schools and
Miami-Dadethe County for all public school facilities to
achieve 100% utilization of Permanent FISH (No
Relocatable Classrooms) capacity by January 1, 2018. To
this end, beginning January 1, 2013. the Miami -Dade County
Public Schools should not use relocatable classrooms to
provide additional FISH capacity at any school except as an
operational solution. Additionally. beginning January 1.
2013, the Mami-Dade County Public Schools will implement
a schedule to eliminate all remaining relocatable classrooms
by January 1. 2018. By December 2010, Miami-Dadethe
County in cooperation with Miami -Dade County Public
Schools will assess the viability of modifying the adopted
LOS standard to 100% utilization of Permanent FISH for all
CSAs.
3. Relocatable classrooms may be used by the Miami -Dade
County Public School System as an operational solution
during replacement. renovation. remodeling or expansion of
a public school facility: and in the event of a disaster or
emergency which prevents the School Board from using a
portion of the affected school facility.
Potential amendments to these LOS Standards shall be considered at
least annually at the Staff Working Group meeting to take place no later
than April 30 or October 31 of each year. If there is a consensus to
amend any LOS Standard. it shall be accomplished by the execution of an
amendment to this Agreement by all parties and
the adoption of amendments to the Countv's and each City's
comprehensive plan. The amended LOS Standard shall not be effective
until all plan amendments are effective and the amendment to this
,agreement is fully executed. No LOS Standard
shall be amended without a showing that the amended LOS Standard is
financially feasible and can be achieved and maintained over the five
years of the District Facilities Work Program.
21
July 17, 2007 Transmittal Draft
After adoption of the District's first Facilities Work Program which was
relied on for public school concurrence requirements, capacity shall be
maintained within each year of the District's subsequent Facilities Work
Program. If the impact of the project will not be felt until Years 2 or 3 of
the District Facilities Work Program, then any relevant programmed
improvements in those years shall be considered available capacity for the
proiect and factored into the Level of Service analysis. If the impact of the
project will not be felt until Years 4 or 5 of the District Facilities Work
Program, then any relevant programmed improvements shall not be
considered available capacity for the proiect unless funding of the
improvement is assured, through School Board funding, the proportionate
share mitigation process, or some other means, and the project is
accelerated into the first three (3) years of the District Facilities Work
Program.
(c) Concurrencv Service Areas: The Concurrence Service Area
(CSA) shall be the student attendance boundaries for elementary, middle
and high schools. The concurrence service area boundaries shall be part
of the data and analysis in support of the Countv's and Cities'
comprehensive plans. Concurrence service areas shall maximize capacity
utilization, taking into account transportation costs. limiting maximum
student travel times, the effect of court -approved desegregation plans,
achieving socio-economic. racial, cultural and diversity objectives, and
other relevant factors as determined by the School Board's policy on
maximization of capacity.
The School Board shall address how capacity has been maximized in the
affected concurrencv service area. For purposes of this Amended -and
Restated -Agreement, maximization of capacity shall mean any operational
or physical adjustment that increases the available capacity of a school or
a concurrency service area. Maximization may take into account several
factors. including transportation costs, student travel times, socio-
economic objectives. and recognition of the timing of capacity
commitments. These adjustments may include. but are not limited to,
physical changes to the school facility such as expansions or renovations,
and operational changes such as staggered schedules. floating teachers,
or reassignment of students. The types of physical and operational
adjustments to school capacity that will be used in Miami-Dadethe County.
and the circumstances under which they are appropriate, will be
determined by the School Board's policy on maximization of capacity, as
set forth in the Public School Facilities Element.
Potential amendments tp the concurrency service areas, other than
periodic adjustments to student attendance boundaries, or to redefine the
concurrencv service area as a different type of boundary or area shall be
considered annually at the Staff Working Group meeting to take place
22

July 17, 2007 Transmittal Draft
each year no later than April
30 or October 31, and shall take into account
the issue of maximization
of capacity. Other considerations for amending
the concurrency service areas
may include safe access (including factors
such as the presence
pf sidewalks, bicycle paths, turn lanes and
signalization, general walCabilitv),
diversity, and aeographic or manmade
constraints to travel. If there
is a consensus to change the concurrence
service area to a different
ype of service area or aeoaraphic configuration,
it shall be accomplishe
by the execution of an amendment to this
areement. The changed concurrencv service
area shall not be effect
a until the amendment to this Amended -and
Restated -Agreement is f
Ile executed and related amendments to the
County and Cities' comprehensive
plans are adopted. Proposed
amendments to the concurrency
service areas shall be presented to the
Staff Working Group and
incorporated as updated data and analysis in
support of the County's and
Cities' comprehensive plans. No concurrence
service area shall be amended
or redefined without a showing that the
amended or redefined concurrence
service area boundaries are financially
feasible and can be achieved
and that the adopted LOS Standard can be
maintained over the five
ears of the District Facilities Work Program (or
ten (10) years of the t
n-vear capital facilities plan, if the facility is
backloQed).
If maximization of capacity has not resulted in sufficient capacity, so that
the adoption of the development proposal would result in a failure to meet
the Level of Service Stan
ard, and if capacity is available in one or more
contiguous concurrencv s
rvice areas within the first three (3) years of the
District Facilities Work Pr
gram in the same impact fee benefit district as
the development, the School
Board, at its discretion, shall determine the
contiguous concurrency service
area to which the development impacts
will be shifted. If there is still
not enough capacity to absorb the impacts of
the development proposal
after maximization of capacity and shifting of
impacts, then the School
Board will notify the local government in writing
of the finding, and the IocaI
govemment shall then notify the applicant of

The County or any City may choose to request from the School Board's
staff and provide an informational assessment of public school
concurrence at the time of preliminary plat or subdivision, but the test of
concurrence shall be at final subdivision. site plan (or functional
equivalent). The assessment of available capacity by the School Board
shall consider maximization of capacity and shifting of impacts as further
detailed above. The County and Cities shall not deny a final subdivision
or site plan (or functional equivalent) for the failure to achieve and

where:
(i) adequate school facilities will be in place or under actual
construction within three (3) years after the issuance of the
final subdivision or site plan (or functional equivalent): or
ii the developer executes a legally binding commitment to
provide mitigation proportionate to the demand for public
school facilities to be created by the actual development of
the property subject to the final plat or site plan (or functional
equivalent) as provided in Section 9.2(g) below.
However, this Agreement shall not be construed
to limit the authority of any City or the County to deny the final plat or site
plan (or functional equivalent) for reasons other than failure to achieve and

25
July 17, 2007 Transmittal Draft
The above factors shall be reviewed annually and certified for
application for proportionate share mitigation purposes during the
period that the District Facilities Work Program is in effect.
In the event that there 1 is not sufficient capacity in the affected or
contiguous concurrence I service area to address the impacts of a
proposed development, tie following steps shall apply. Either (i) the
proiect must provide cape. city enhancement sufficient to meet its impacts
through proportionate share mitigation; or (ii) a condition of approval of the
site plan or final plat (or functional equivalent) shall be that the proiect's
impacts shall be phased luti and building permits shall be delayed to a
date when capacity enhancement and Level of Service can be assured: or
(iii) the project must not approved. The school board and the affected
local government shall coierdinate on the possibility of mitigation.
Options for providing a proportionate share mitigation for any approval of
additional residential dwel ing units that triggers a failure to meet the Level

Mitigation banking - M
tigation banking within designated areas based
on the construction of la public school facility in exchange for the right
to sell capacity credit4. Capacity credits shall only be transferred to
developments within
the same concurrencv service area or a
contiguous concurrencv
service area. Mitigation banking shall be
administered by the School

approval.
The amount of mitigation required shall be calculated based on the cost
per student station, as defined above, and for each school type
(elementary, middle and high) for which there is not sufficient capacity.
The Proportionate Share for a development shall be determined by the
following formulas:
Number Of New Student Stations Required For Mitigation (By School
Type) =
[Number Of Dwelling Units Generated By Development Proposal, By
Housing Type x
Student Generation Multiplier (By Housing Type And School Type)J_
Credit for Districtwide istrict wide Capacity of Magnet Schools and
Charter Schools that aie Not Over LOS Standard —
Number of Available Student Stations
Cost of Proportionate ahare Mitigation =
Number Of New Student Stations Required For Mitigation (By School
Type) x
Cost Per Student Station (By School Type).
The full cost of proportionate share mitigation shall be required from the
proposed development..
The local government an
the School Board shall consider the evaluation
report and the options t
at may be available for proportionate share
mitigation including the
amendment of the District Facilities Work
Program. If the local gov
mment and the School Board find that options
exist for proportionate
share mitigation, they shall authorize the
preparation of a development agreement and other documentation
appropriate to implement the proportionate share mitigation option(s). A
legally binding developmeht agreement shall be entered into between the
School Board, the appropriaterelevant local government, and the applicant
27

and executed prior to isluance of the final plat, site plan or functional
equivalent. In that aareer jlent, if the School Board accepts the mitigation,
the School Board must rmmit to place the improvement required for
mitigation on the first three (3) years of the Five Year Plan. This
development agreement shall include the landowner's commitment to
continuing renewal of the( development agreement until the mitigation is
completed as determined v the School Board. This agreement shall also
address the amount of t
e impact fee credit that may be due for the
mitigation, and the manne
in which it will be credited.
