Frederick N. Jones Monty Selim Wiatt F. Bowers The City of Jacksonville recently adopted a progressive, mobility plan and fee system to replace its fair share concurrency management system. A major part of this effort includes the implementation of a sustainable, design-based mobility fee credit system, as a component of the City’s mobility fee formula. Aimed at providing incentives to new development or redevelopment, the presentation will explore how such projects can capitalize upon the surrounding context, employing density and design elements to reduce vehicular trip impacts and fees, encourage infill and redevelopment and support improved design outcomes.

9/8 THUR 16:00 | Educating the Sustainability Planner 1
Christopher Silver
This session draws upon the teaching, research and consulting experiences in sustainability drawn the perspectives of an architect, planning lawyer and an international planner. Through a series of case studies, it explores how the global community
is undertaking legal, regulatory and other measures to realize sustainable urbanism, promote sustainability in various parts
of the world, and how these efforts can influence the work of Florida planners. This comparative perspective not only provides a source for innovation in practice, but can also serve as
a measure of success locally in the face of the global challenges faced by the sustainable urbanism movement.

Dana Little
Explore the evolution of a 16 year old new urbanist development. Topics discussed include how Abacoa was shovel ready as the center of the regional bioscience cluster for Palm Beach County,
how design and planning can withstand market forces and the challenges of integrating mixed uses including specific discussion of the follies of the Town Center.
9/8 THUR 16:00 | Special Districts and Financing Growth in Florida 2
Todd Wodraska
“Growth” requires public facilities and services, but in Florida “Growth Should Pay for Itself”! Counties and cities resist using taxes to provide for new residents, shifting the burden to more than 1600 “special districts”. Districts build facilities using borrowed money, repaying debt from annual “assessments” only upon the “benefited” property owners within their boundaries. Until recently, the spigots of exuberant capitalism gushed freely,
but the fiscal world has changed. Florida will continue to grow -- but what are the “New Rules” for America’s post-“Meltdown” financial system? Will special districts find the resources to address
the needs of Future Florida?
9/8 THUR 14:30 |Green Elements and Sustainable Codes 3
The document discusses sustainable development codes. It notes several global challenges related to fuel, food, health, climate change, and biodiversity. It also discusses challenges facing local governments like changing demographics, increasing costs, and financial strain. The document advocates for development codes that support sustainability by removing barriers, creating incentives, and addressing issues like climate change, renewable energy, food supply, health, and water conservation. It provides examples from Miami-Dade County related to energy efficiency, greenhouse gas reduction, and renewable energy systems. The document argues that sustainable development codes can provide individual, community, and global benefits related to issues like water and energy conservation.

The Jimmy Buffett-themed Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort is expected to bring renovations and excitement to Hollywood beach when it opens in August 2014. The $130 million resort is spurring improvements among local businesses hoping to attract overflow from the 349-room property's restaurants, bars, and attractions. It is predicted that the resort will generate millions in annual tax revenue while its guests spend around $90 million per year in the local area. Local business owners see the resort as transforming Hollywood beach and helping the area compete with more successful beaches like Fort Lauderdale.
Planning in the courts by Nancy Stroud, James White & David Theriaque
This document summarizes two land use cases: St. John's River Water Management District v. Koontz, where the Florida Supreme Court ruled that an agency's denial of a permit based on improper monetary conditions could result in a taking; and Herrin v. Volusia County, where an administrative judge reviewed a comprehensive plan amendment for a large development under new statutory standards. It also briefly discusses Martin County Conservation Alliance v. Martin County, where an appeals court sanctioned organizations for filing an appeal without standing.

Sector planning presentation by Jim Sellen, Mike McDaniel, David Powell & Dav...
The document discusses sector planning in Florida. Key points include:
- Sector planning allows for long-term planning over large geographic areas of 15,000 acres or more and a planning period of 20-50 years.
- The process includes adopting a long-term master plan and more detailed specific area plans.
- Examples are provided of existing sector plans in Florida, including their size, projected population and development.
- Reasons why some large landowners may be interested in sector planning include its long-term planning horizon and ability to continue agricultural uses in the short-term. However, the process also has challenges such as public scrutiny and potential impacts to farming operations.
Statewide Planning on the Regional Scale by Tim Chapin, Brian Teeple, Howard ...
- The Florida Constitution requires the development of a long-range state planning document that includes projections of future state needs and resources.
- The governor must recommend revisions to this document to the legislature biennially. All state departments and agencies must also develop their own planning documents consistent with the long-range state planning document.
- These planning documents must identify statewide strategic goals and objectives and include a prioritized list of planned expenditures that could be reduced in the event of revenue shortfalls. The documents remain subject to review and revision by the legislature.
Florida: An Economic Overview by Amy Baker
- Florida's economy grew 1.4% in 2010 after declining for two years, but personal income fell in Q3 2011 for the first time since 2009. Unemployment remained high at 9.9% in December 2011.
- While housing sales and permits have increased year-over-year, foreclosure rates remain high and home prices are flat. Population growth is expected to increase to around 1.1% by 2030, fueling economic growth.
- The recovery has been slow as the state has yet to regain the 779,700 jobs lost. Challenges remain such as high unemployment, tight credit conditions, and problems in the Eurozone economy.
9/9 FRI 09:30 | Financing Public Waterfront Access - Jupiter
Brenda Arnold
Mayor Karen Golonka
Emily O'Mahoney
Thomas Baird
Examine how Jupiter promotes public access and uses along the waterfront. See how public-private partnerships can create
places for public use. Discussion on how the Community Redevelopment Agency, Community Development Districts, zoning
regulations, grants, EB-5 financing and the Town's public land purchases are leveraged to create the vision along the Intracoastal Waterway and the Jupiter Inlet. The session will illustrate the financing and planning methods that were used, and provides real world experiences and guidance to maintaining public access
and uses, instead of strictly private waterfront developments.
9/9 FRI 09:30 | Protecting Florida's Aviation Assets
Clara Bennett
Thomas Cooney
Dan Bartholomew
Jon Sewll
Artie White
The panel discussion will focus on the importance of protecting aviation facilities and land assets through planning techniques and enforcing existing laws. The session will include an overview
of the economic benefit aviation brings to Florida and resources available to protect these assets, followed by a panel discussion with a local airport representative and government official to discuss how these techniques have been implemented in their areas. This session is appropriate for planning commissioners, elected officials, staff planners, zoning officials and others involved with land use and zoning responsibilities in areas near
commercial and general aviation airports.
9/9 FRI 16:15 | Creating Action Oriented Meetings
Robert Hunter
Bruce Cury
The session will be designed to provide planners and Planning Commissioners with valuable tools to create effective meetings that result in positive actions. In these lean budget times, using resources and time effectively is critical. Meetings are the planner’s primary vehicle for communicating and getting input from the public. Effective public participation in our planning processes is key. This session will provide perspectives on achieving effective public input in public hearings and running Planning Commission meetings that result in positive changes
for the community. Techniques for dealing with challenging individuals, reaching consensus, handling conflicts, politics and
keeping meetings on task will be discussed.
9/8 THUR 10:45 | Lessons Learned -Environmental Planning 1
Dr. Jennifer Languell
The land planning process today is heavily regulated and complex. This session highlighted real life examples from three senior level executives who drew upon past experiences
and demonstrated how they turned adversity into opportunity by employing creative and environmentally sound land planning
techniques. The presentation provided the audience with environmental solutions that can be successfully applied to their own projects. The panel presented their challenges, reviewed
the methodology and application of their solutions and discussed lessons learned throughout the process.

9/10 SAT 8:30 | Land Use Law Update - What's New
Marcie Oppenheimer Nolan
Nancy Stroud
James E. White
Johanna M. Lundgren
This session focused on the recent state and federal cases impacting daily activities of planners, focusing on “hot button” land uses which involve layers of local, state and federal regulations,
and emphasizing the needs of local government planners in understanding the legal constraints on the treatment of certain land uses. Planners also learned best practices for addressing locally unwanted land uses (“LULUs”) such as “pain clinics”, halfway houses and rehabilitation centers and “big box” commercial uses that pose significant compatibility issues and challenges
for local governments.
9/10 SAT 8:30 | Parking as a Smart Growth Strategy
This document summarizes a study on the impact of parking supply and demand management strategies in the Miami and Fort Lauderdale central business districts. The study found that (1) expanding parking supply does not solve congestion issues, (2) managing parking pricing and availability can reduce traffic by decreasing circling for parking and reflecting true travel costs, and (3) parking policy should support congestion management and community goals like economic development, quality of life, and sustainability. The document outlines the study methodology, analysis of parking supply and demand, the relationship between parking and transit performance, parking revenue options, land use policy recommendations, and topics for verification with local stakeholders.
9/10 SAT 10:00 | Keynote: John Landis
Planning as a discipline pays inadequate attention to evaluating its success and failures. As a result, planning “successes” often get defined by others, usually as a lack of success. John Landis, Crossways Professor and Department Chair of City and Regional Planning at the University of Pennsylvania, will provide insight and case studies on planning success stories, as well as provide
advice on how to institutionalize success into our efforts. Professor Landis teaches courses in urban economics, property development, land use planning, and green development, among
others. His research interests span a variety of urban development topics including growth management, infill housing, and the geography of urban growth. Professor Landis is currently
completing a National Science Foundation–funded project to model, forecast, and develop alternative spatial scenarios of U.S. population and employment patterns and their impacts on
travel demand, habitat loss, and water use through 2050.

Whit Blanton
Scott Swearengen
Shilpa Mehta
The City of Tarpon Springs seeks to revitalize its downtown core areas and encourage redevelopment for a vibrant, thriving, destination with a wide range of travel options. The principal ways proving access to the City's urban neighborhoods are constrained and cannot be widened to meet existing or future demand generated by redevelopment. In addition, existing future land use and zoning regulations are out of touch with the area's traditional urban form.
9/10 SAT 8:30 | Can Planners Create Jobs? - Planning & Econ. Dev. 4
Charles Pattison
As of the Spring of 2011 unemployment in Florida is hovering around 12%. Many people are out of work but what can planners do to help spur the state’s economy? Even Governor Scott has
placed economic development as the foundation of his governorship with his 777 Plan. This panel will consider some of the ways that planners can help in economic development efforts. The panel will explore the varied ways planning is intersecting
economic development in Florida in the private sector, in the environmental community and on the state and local levels.
9/9 FRI 4:15 | Rethinking Florida 2060
Melina Duggal
Charles G. Pattison
Debra Dremann
Frances Marino
The 2060 Plan prepared by the 1000 Friends of Florida presented an ominous scenario of sprawling development in Florida. Since
then, new policies at the state and local level, changes in the availability of capital both for development and conservation, and
demographic and economic trends have likely altered Florida’s future outlook. Is 2060 just delayed, or have development patterns
changed forever? A panel of experts will discuss likely growth scenarios, define ways to capitalize on alternative development trends and present ideas on conservation, planning, financing,
and approaches to development that can be successful in these economic times and the future.
9/9 FRI 4:15 | Reimaging Communities
Daniel Kildee
Like many states around the country, the recent economic and housing crisis took a toll on Florida’s communities. The increase in vacant, abandoned, and foreclosed properties has deteriorated neighborhoods, strained local governments, and stunted development.
The first part of this session will explore the challenges facing shrinking cities and how creative planning concepts can foster regionalism and intergovernmental collaboration. The
second part of this session will highlight systemic changes that can positively affect how communities plan, such as reforms to the property tax foreclosure, code enforcement, and mortgage
foreclosure systems.
9/9 FRI 4:15 | Pay-to-Play: Paying for Growth
Tyson Smith
Dr. Robert Burchell
The presenters will provide commentary on the shift from broadbased funding mechanisms (like property taxes) to user fees and special assessments (private or quasi-private mechanisms) as the principal means of funding new infrastructure. This shiftslow economic recovery and an anti-tax and anti-government
resurgence. Planners will be facing an environment where infrastructure increasingly is provided by either private parties (think
development agreements) or subsets of the jurisdiction who can afford it (think special assessments). This session discusses
what this trend means for planners and for society.
9/9 Friday 4:15 creating action oriented meetings
The document provides guidance on creating action-oriented meetings and transitioning to a paperless process. It recommends delivering agenda items and packets via website, flash-drive, netbook, or hard copy by request as part of the transition to paperless. It also outlines five rules of persuasive communication: be goal oriented, persuade using others' self-interest, make others feel important, do nothing to injure, and be brief.
9/9 FRI 4:15 | Avon Park AFR: Joint Land Use Study 3
Tricia Martin
Incompatible growth near military facilities can threaten our national defense. Learn what types of development can conflict with military training. Explore the challenges of conducting multi-jurisdictional studies to promote appropriate land uses, around military facilities. Panelists will discuss lessons learned during the course of a Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) of four counties
and three cities for the Avon Park Air Force Range, and close coordination with conservation groups. Strategies to develop support from the community and public officials for measures such as transfer of development rights to buffer the public from
the impacts of necessary military activities will be discussed.

multi-jurisdictional studies to promote appropriate land uses, around military facilities. Panelists will discuss lessons learned during the course of a Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) of four counties
and three cities for the Avon Park Air Force Range, and close coordination with conservation groups. Strategies to develop support from the community and public officials for measures such as transfer of development rights to buffer the public from
the impacts of necessary military activities will be discussed.
