FINAL ORDER No. DCA09-GM-293 STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFF. AIRS;. ; DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS, iGo”? Acres Petitioner, vs. DOAH Case No. 08-6383GM MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Respondent, and 107" AVENUE GAMMA,LLC, Intervenor. / 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.
