Petitioner,
vs. Case No. 08-108 7GM
CITY OF BUNNELL,
Respondent,
and
PLUM CREEK TIMBERLANDS, L.P.,
Intervenor.
FINAL ORDER
This cause is before the Department of Community Affairs on
an Order Closing File, a copy of which is appended hereto as
Exhibit A.
On December 18, 2007, Respondent City of Bunnell adopted an
amendment to its comprehensive plan by Ordinance No. 2006-21
(Amendment). The Department reviewed the Amendment, determined
that it did not meet the criteria for compliance set forth in
Section 163.3184(1) (b), Florida Statutes, and caused to be
published a Notice of Intent to find the Amendment not “in
compliance.” The Department then instituted this administrative
FINAL ORDER No. DCA09-GM-290
proceeding against the City pursuant to Section 163.3184(10),
Florida Statutes.
On August 4, 2009, the City rescinded the Amendment by
Ordinance No. 2009-23. By virtue of this rescission, the instant
controversy has been rendered moot and this proceeding must be
dismissed. See Department of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles v.
Heredia, 520 So. 2d 61 (Fla. 3d DCA 1988) (dismissing case on
appeal as moot where suspension of driver’s license was rescinded
by the Department).
ORDER
WHEREFORE, it is ORDERED that the above-captioned proceeding
is DISMISSED, and the Agency Clerk is directed to close the file.
DONE AND ORDERED this day in Tallahassee, Florida.
