Regalado Mayor, City of Miami 3500 Pan American Drive Miami, Florida 33133 Dear Mayor Regalado: Jesse Panuccio EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR The State Land Planning Agency has completed its review of the proposed comprehensive plan amendment for the City of Miami (Amendment No. 13-2ESR), which was received on February 1, 2013. We have reviewed the proposed amendment pursuant to Sections 163.3184(2) and (3), Florida Statutes (F.S.), and identified no comments related to important state resources and facilities within the Agency's authorized scope of review that will be adversely impacted by the amendment if adopted. We are, however, providing a technical assistance comment consistent with Section 163.3168(3), F.S. Staff notes that the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA) boundary utilized by the City in the Future Land Use Map exhibits is not consistent with the most current CHHA boundary from the Florida Statewide Regional Evacuation Study Program. Since the amendment does not add any residential units, this technical assistance comment will not form the basis of a challenge. However, the City should update the CHHA boundary to be consistent with the Florida Statewide Regional Evacuation Study Program. The City is reminded that pursuant to Section 163.3184(3)(b), F.S., other reviewing agencies have the authority to provide comments directly to the City. If other reviewing agencies provide comments, we recommend the City consider appropriate changes to the amendment based on those comments. If unresolved, such reviewing agency comments could fonn the basis for a challenge to the amendment after adoption. The City should act by choosing to adopt, adopt with_changes, or not adopt the proposed amendment. Also, please note that Section 163.3184(3)(c)1, F.S., provides that if the second public hearing is not held and the amendment adopted within 180 days of your receipt of agency comments, the amendment shall be deemed withdrawn unless extended by agreement with notice to the state land planning agency and any affected party that provided comment on the amendment. For your assistance, we have enclosed the procedures for adoption and transmittal of the comprehensive plan amendment. Florida Department of Economic Opportunity The Caldwell Building 107 E.
