improvement plans.
MONITORING AND EVALUATION PROGRAM
In order to enable the preparation of the periodic Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) as required by Section
163.3191, Florida Statutes (F.S.), and Rule 9J-5.0053, F.A.C., this section will outline the procedures for the
monitoring and evaluating of the Element and its implementation.
Monitoring Requirements
The primary mechanism to monitor progress in achieving the objectives and policies in this Element is the
collection and update of appropriate baseline data. Further, as required by the State Requirements for
Educational Facilities, at least once every five (5) years the School Board shall arrange for an educational plant
survey to be conducted. This plant survey will include data regarding existing facilities and a five (5) year
projection of student population. The written report from this survey shall include the following:
Inventory An inventory of existing ancillary and educational plants and auxiliary facilities.
Student An analysis of past and projected student population.
Population
Capital Outlay An analysis of expenditures and projected capital outlay funds.
Facilities Statements of proposed types of facilities, grade structure, and list student capacity.
Funding A proposed funding plan.
The information obtained from the educational plant survey will be used to generally monitor the progress of the
objectives and policies contained in the Educational Element and will provide specific indicators for Objective
EDU-1.1 and Objective EDU-1.4.
The enforcement or adoption of interlocal agreements shall be explored as a means to help implement
components of the Educational Element, and to coordinate the efficient provision of public educational facilities.
The performance of any agreements related to objectives of this element will be monitored as they are set in
place.
Objective EDU-1.1 policies relating to the maintenance and improvement of specific level of service for public
educational facilities, as specified in the Educational Facilities Impact Fee Ordinance, shall be reviewed annually.
Each year, the Miami -Dade County Public Schools will compare the official enrollment of the school system with
the number of student stations available to determine the current operating LOS.
Objective EDU-1.2 will be measured through an annual review of the latest adopted Miami -Dade County Public
Schools Facility Work Program in order to determine if the adopted concurrency level of service standard
(including the Interim LOS standards) is being achieved. The number of development orders approved, those
disapproved and those that have achieved LOS standards through mitigation options will also be reviewed.
Objective EDU-1.3 will be monitored through the annual inventory and assessment by the Miami -Dade County
Public Schools of School Board owned property. The number of new sites shall be reported annually and in the
full review period reported in the EAR.
Objective EDU-1.4 will be monitored through the review and analysis of the statistics relating to school safety, as
compiled annually, by the Miami -Dade County Public Schools Division of Police. A review and analysis of new
and existing reactive and proactive safety and crime prevention programs will also be conducted on an annual
basis.
Objective EDU-1.5 shall be monitored by the Miami -Dade County Public Schools by reporting and reviewing the
progress and number of new and existing community oriented programs, including an enrollment analysis, by age
and ethnicity, of adult, community and vocational programs.
Objective EDU-1.6 shall be monitored by the Miami -Dade County Public Schools by reporting the number of
educational facility enhancements such as media centers, art/music suite, and science laboratories.
City of Miami Page 6 of 10 Printed On: 9/25/2007
File Number: 07-01180
Objective EDU-1.7 will be addressed by implementing and tracking the development of appropriate mechanisms,
including interlocal agreements and coordination efforts, which serve to expedite the provision or enhancement of
public educational facilities.
Monitoring methods may be added or deleted as circumstances and criteria evolve. Any significant modifications
to the monitoring process will be dealt with, as appropriate, through the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan
amendment process.
Evaluation
Available data regarding the various public educational facilities will be used to assess progress on specific
objectives. In order to evaluate the level of service being provided, student capacity totals will be reviewed in
comparison to student enrollment to determine the status of the current level of service being provided. Similarly,
performance in terms of achieving other objectives can also be analyzed by tracking the number of completed
capital projects, as well as the development and implementation of other programs associated with each objective.
Results of these calculations and measures will be analyzed and changing circumstances and opportunities will be
considered.
Any actions, changes or modifications to the Goal, Objectives, and Policies will be explained in accordance with
the results of this process of continued monitoring and evaluation. Any necessary changes will be made through
the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan amendment process.
Current Conditions Maps
Consistent with Section 163.3177(12) (q), Florida Statutes, maps showing existing conditions are included in the
element. A map series (Figures 1A, 2B and 3C shown in "Exhibit A") indicate the current public school and
ancillary facility locations as December 31, 2007.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ELEMENT
1.1.2.1: City of Miami shall coordinate with the Miami -Dade County Public Schools and other
parties to the adopted Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning to establish Level
of Service Standards (including Interim LOS standards) for public school facilities and any
amendments affecting public school concurrency.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT
Policy CI-1.1.4: As capital projects are incorporated into the CIE and CIP, consideration will be given
to the elimination of public hazards, the elimination of shortfalls between the adopted level of service
(LOS) standards and the existing capacity of public facilities; the impact of proposed capital projects
on the capital and operating budgets of the City; the fiscal capacity of the City to meet future capital
spending needs; the economic and social benefits to be generated by proposed projects; the
environmental impacts of proposed projects; the public facility requirements of new development or
redevelopment; consistency between proposed capital projects and the goals and objectives set forth
in the various elements of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan; and the coordination
between proposed City projects and those projects and programs of federal, state, county agencies,
the South Florida Water Management District, and Miami -Dade County Public Schools.
Policy CI-1.1.16: The City will assist where possible Miami -Dade County Public Schools and Miami
Dade County in providing school concurrency related capital improvements and seeking to expand the
funding sources available to meet those requirements.
Objective CI-1.2: Ensure that land development regulations and policies are consistent with the
City's ability to provide the capital facilities required to maintain adopted LOS standards and those
needed to maintain or enhance the quality of life within the city. (See Coastal Management Objective
CM-1.4 or Educational Objective EDU-1.2.)
City of Miami Page 7 of 10 Printed On: 9/25/2007
File Number: 07-01180
Policy CI-1.2.3: Acceptable Level of Service Standards for public facilities in the City of Miami are:
al Miami -Dade Public Schools - Beginning January 1, 2008, the adopted level of service (LOS) standard
for all Miami -Dade County public school facilities is 100% utilization of Florida Inventory of School Houses
(FISH) Capacity (With Relocatable Classrooms). This LOS standard shall be applicable in each public
school concurrency service area (CSA), defined as the public school attendance boundary established by
the Miami -Dade County Public Schools. All public school facilities should continue to maintain or decrease
their percent utilization of FISH capacity (With Relocatable Classrooms). Public schools facilities that
achieve 100% utilization of Permanent FISH capacity (No Relocatable Classrooms) should no longer
utilize relocatable classrooms except as an operational solution. (See Educational Objective EDU-1.2 and
Policy EDU-1.2.1)
Policy CI-1.3.5: The City will work with the Miami Dade County and the Miami -Dade County Public
Schools to identify appropriate funding mechanisms in order to assure the fiscal resources to maintain
acceptable levels of service.
CONCURRENCY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Concurrency refers to a provision of Florida law that requires certain public facilities and services to be available
when the impact of land development occurs. They must be available "current with" the impact of development
Paraphrasing Section 163.3202, Florida Statutes, each county and municipality must incorporate specific
and detailed provisions which shall provide that public facilities and services meet or exceed the Levels of
Service (LOS) standards established in the Plan's Capital Improvements Element and are available when
needed for the development, or that the development orders or permits are conditioned on the availability
of these public facilities and services necessary to serve the proposed development.
Levels of Service (LOS) are measures that determine the capacity of the pubic facility per unit of demand.
Local governments are required to adopt LOS standards for the following services:
Recreation and Open Space
Potable Water
Sanitary Sewer
Storm Drainage
Solid Waste
Traffic Circulation
Educational/ Public School Facilities
The Levels of Service for each element are adopted by the local government in its Comprehensive Plan
and approved by the state. Consequently, if any of the facilities or services are not available, or are
deficient in their LOS, development cannot take place until they are provided at the required level, and
"concurrent with" the impact of the development.
Because the City of Miami is a fully developed city , its adopted Land Use Plan Map is designed so that
the land use densities and intensities shown on it are supported by appropriate infrastructure that will meet
the cities adopted LOS standards. Moreover, Miami's zoning regulations have been made consistent with
its adopted Land Use Plan Maps required by Florida's Growth Management Laws. Therefore,
development or redevelopment that does not exceed allowable zoned uses and intensities is reviewed for
compliance with the City's land development regulations, including levels of service (LOS) or
"concurrency" standards, as part of the building permit issuance process. Final issuance of the building
permit is evidence that land development requirements, including "concurrency" are satisfied.
If a development permit being requested requires a Land Use/ Zoning change, or a Major Use Special
Permit or similar consideration, a concurrency review will be required. Impacts of the proposed
City of Miami Page 8 of 10 Printed On: 9/25/2007
File Number: 07-01180
development on the required LOS standards will be calculated, and a determination made as to whether
the required infrastructure capacity will be available concurrent with the impact of development. Planning
Department will consult departments of PW, S, Parks & Recreation, as well as the Miami -Dade County
School Board, and others as appropriate for input to the LOS impact evaluation.
An affirmative principal concurrency determination will be required before a prospective developer can
obtain a subsequent development order.
Public School Facilities:
Necessary public school facilities must be in place or under actual construction within three years after of final
issuances of final subdivision or site plan approval, or the functional equivalent.
The City in coordination with the Miami -Dade County Public School shall by resolution, include proportionate share
mitigation methodologies and options for public school facilities in its concurrency management program and
Interlocal Local Agreement for Public Facility Planning between Miami -Dade County Public Schools, Miami -Dade
County and the Cities in Miami -Dade County, consistent with the requirements of Chapter 163, Florida Statutes.
Capital improvements associated with the construction of educational facilities are the responsibility of the
Miami -Dade County Public School. To address financial feasibility associated with school concurrency,
the Miami -Dade County Public School Facilities Work Program dated September 2007 for educational
facilities will be incorporated by reference in the CIE.
The City shall coordinate with the Miami -Dade County Public Schools, to annually update its Facilities
Work Program to include existing and anticipated facilities for both the 5-year and long-term planning
periods, and to ensure that the adopted level of service standard, including interim standards, will continue
to be achieved and maintained. The City, through its annual update to the Capital Improvements
Schedule, will incorporate by reference the latest adopted Miami -Dade County Public Schools Facilities
Work Program for educational facilities. The City and the Miami -Dade County Public School will
coordinate their planning efforts prior to and during the MCNP Amendment process and during updates to
the Miami -Dade County Public Schools Facilities Work Program.
Section 3. The City Manager is directed to instruct the Director of the Planning Department to
immediately transmit a certified copy of this Ordinance after its adoption on second reading to: the
Secretary, Florida Department of Community Affairs; the Executive Director, South Florida Regional
Planning Council, Hollywood, Florida; and any other person or entity requesting a copy.
Section 4. All ordinances or parts of ordinances insofar as they are inconsistent or in conflict with
the provisions of this Ordinance are repealed.
Section 5. If any section, part of section, paragraph, clause, phrase, or word of this Ordinance is
declared invalid, the remaining provisions of this Ordinance shall not be affected.
Section 6. This Ordinance shall become effective thirty-one (31) days after second reading and
adoption thereof pursuant and subject to § 163.3187(3)(c), Fla. Stat. (2001). {1}
