The Florida League of Cities will support legislation that:
• Fully funds state growth management mandates;
• Increases technical assistance to municipalities for implementing state growth management requirements;
• Ensures growth management decisions are driven foremost by land use planning rather than concurrency;
• Supports multi-modal transportation initiatives and alternative means of mobility based on urban form and design;
• Provides municipalities with state and local option revenue sources to meet financial feasibility requirements and infrastructure demands;
• Revises concurrency requirements in urban areas to address the unintended impact on sprawl, urban infill and redevelopment, and affordable housing;
• Encourages but does not mandate the use of visioning on a local or regional basis;
• Ensures equitable municipal representation in regional planning or visioning activities;
• Ensures municipalities maintain exclusive control over land use planning within their jurisdictions;
• Prohibits charter counties from limiting the ability of private property owners from voluntarily annexing their property;
• Requires legislative bill analyses to provide more specificity in estimating the costs to municipalities of implementing new growth management mandates; and
• Ensures that state funding and budget allocations support articulated growth management policies and do not subsidize sprawl.
