FINAL ORDER |
An Administrative Law Judge of the Division of Administrative Hearings has
entered an Order Closing File in this proceeding. A copy of the Order is attached to this
Final Order as Exhibit A.
BACKGROUND
This is a proceeding to determine whether Application Numbers 1, 3, and 6
(“Applications”) in the Miami-Dade County 08-1 comprehensive plan amendment
adopted by Ordinance No. 08-43 on April 24, 2008 (“Amendment”), are “in compliance”
with the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation
Act, Ch. 163, Part II, Florida Statutes. The Department reviewed the Applications and
issued a Notice and Statement of Intent to find them not “in compliance.”
FINAL ORDER No. DCA09-GM-293
The Applications were found to be not “in compliance” because, pursuant to
Section 163.3177(12)(i), Florida Statutes, the County had not executed its updated Public
Schools Interlocal Agreement (“ILA”) with the County School Board and the County had
not adopted its revised Public Schools Facilities Element (“PEFE”). Although the County
had adopted and transmitted a PEFE in July 2008, the Department could not determine
whether the adopted PEFE was consistent with the ILA until the County and the School
Board executed, adopted, and transmitted the ILA to the Department. Therefore, pursuant
to Section 163.3177(12)(), Florida Statutes, the County was prohibited from adopting the
Applications, each of which increases residential densities, as amendments to its
comprehensive plan until the necessary school amendments had been adopted and
transmitted to the Department for its review.
On April 22, 2009, the County and the School Board executed the ILA. On June
26, 2009, the Department issued a Notice of Intent finding the PEFE “in compliance”.
Additionally, on June 26, 2009, the Department found the ILA to be “in compliance.”
Due to the Department’s “in compliance” finding of the ILA and the PEFE, there
were no further compliance issues with the Applications. Therefore, on July 23, 2009, the
Department issued an Amended Notice of Intent finding the Applications “in
compliance.”
No party has filed a petition for administrative hearing with respect to the
Amended Notice of Intent. Accordingly, the Department filed with the Division of
Administrative Hearings a Motion to Close File and Relinquish Jurisdiction. On August
18, 2009, the Administrative Law Judge issued his Order Closing File.
FINAL ORDER No. DCA09-GM-293
ORDER
WHEREFORE, it is ORDERED that the above-captioned proceeding is
DISMISSED, and the Agency Clerk is directed to close the file.
