Background:
The 2007 Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and School Concurrency, as amended in January 2008, was replaced by the 2021 Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and School Concurrency between Seminole County, the Seminole County School District and local municipalities agreement with an effective date of December 9th, 2024 (“2021 Agreement”). The 2021 Agreement addresses procedures for coordinating land use planning, development approvals and school planning. The 2021 Agreement includes the process for school concurrency, updated Level of Service standards, updates to terminology and references to the Florida Statutes. The 2021 Agreement requires an amendment to the County’s Comprehensive Plan for consistency.
Per Section 10.1 of the 2021 Agreement, an amendment to the Capital Improvement Element (CIE) is required to include the adopted School Board's Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan and must be adopted no later than ten (10) calendar months following the effective date of the 2021 Agreement. In order to fulfill this requirement, an amendment to the CIE exhibit is necessary.
Furthermore, in preparation for the new operations of Scout, the Transportation Element must be updated to include micro-transit as a transportation option within the County’s mobility system. The amendment provides a definition and identifies micro-transit as eligible for funding through various existing and alternate funding sources. In addition, due to a scriveners’ error, the element must be revised to remove the reference to the Seminole County 2045 Transportation Mobility Plan.
The proposed amendments are detailed in the Summary of Changes (Attachment #4).
