The Florida Coastal Management Program Environmental Impact Statement (1981) acknowledeges this fact in its discussion of urban waterfront issues. The Program states among several recommendations that it will encourage redevelopment and revitalization of urban waterfronts for recreation, access, increasing the utilization of urban land, and economic development. The increased interest is attributable to the widely recognized economic potential of waterfronts. As a result, waterfronts have become an area of intense competition among different land uses. Existing waterfront uses have to be accommodated as redevelopment expands. The state has now a strong role in encouraging watefront development that is in the public interest. The State Comprehensive Plan and the State Land Development Plan formulate goals, policies, objectives, and standards for land development. This update examines the direction these plans give relevant to urban waterfront management. Florida's unique situation first is illustrated through a discussion of the relationship between the State Comprehensive Plan, the State Land Development Plan, the Comprehensive Regional Policy Plans, and local comprehensive plans. Next, the implementation of these new programs along with existing coastal 1 programs is discussed. A broad range of funding mechanisms to support these programs are then described. Finally imp@ementation efforts in Florida are depicted in specific areas around the state. Major cities are discussed in terms of recent activities they are undertaking toward waterfront redevelopment. The State Comprehensive Plan The need has been demonstrated for an integrated, statewide planning system to ensure the coordinated administratioh of government policies at all levels. The State Comprehensive Plan has been designed to provide the direction to accomplish this in order to guide responsibly Florida's growth. To address this issue of growth, the Florida Legislature passed laws in 1984 and 1985 that create an integrated state, regional and local planning framework. The State and Regional Planning Act, Chapter 186, Florida Statutes, directs special emphasis to three areas: "land use, water resources, and transportation system development." [Section 186.007(4).] The Act requires the Department of Community Affairs ("DCAII),, the state resource planning agency, to prepare the state land development plan (IISLDPII). The SLDP will provide guidance for use by all state agencies as they develop their agency functional plans; it will provide a policy framework that will be further defined by regional planning councils in comprehensive Regional Policy Plans; and it will serve as a model to local governments. The SLDP will also be applied in specific local decisions dealing with regional and state impacts under Chapter 380, Florida Statutes. The SLDP, the State Water Use Plan and the Florida Transportation Plan will be reviewed by the Executive Office of the Governor, to integrate these plans and implement the growth management portion of the State Comprehensive Plan. 3 It is important to discuss the role of local governments within the state's overall planning framework. While the Local Government Comprehensive Planning Act of 1975 Chapter 163, F.S., required counties and municipalities to meet state guidelines when preparing comprehensive plans, it limited state enforcement to review and comment procedures. This lack of statutory review power often created a gap between local and state planning standards, particularly with respect to coastal zone protection. For this reason Chapter 163 was omitted from the state's approved Coastal Management Program. This section examines each level of the comprehensive planning process that stems from the State Comprehensive Plan. Each level of government, state, regional, and local, is discussed in terms of how its programs address or could address urban waterfront issues. Since the state is characterized by abundant coastal and inland waterways, many of the State Comprehensive Plan's goals address urban waterfront management issues. The goals are intended to be applied in concert with other goals stated in the State Comprehensive Plan. Those goals most germane to urban waterfronts are: public safety 0 a . protect the public by ... protecting lives and property from natural and mannade disasters water resources . 0 . maintain the functions of natural systems and the overall present level of ... water quality. Florida shall improve and restore the quality of waters---hot presently meeting water quality standards 4 coastal and marine resources . . . ensure that development and marine resource use and beach access improvements ... do not endanger public safety or important natural resources. Florida shall, through acquisition access improvements, make-available to the state's population additional beaches and marine environment, consistent with sound environmental planning natural systems and recreational lands . 0 . protect ... or restore natural systems to a functional condition. property rights 0 0 . protect private property rights and recognize the existence of legitimate and often competing public and private interests in land use regulations and other government action. land use 0 0 . development shall be directed to those areas which have in place, or have agreements to provide, the land and water resources, fiscal abilities, and the service capacity... transportation 0 . . direct future transportation improvements to aid in the management of growth and shall have a state transportation system that integrates highway, air, mass transit, and other transportation nodes. economy a a . promote an economic climate which provides economic stability, maximizes job opportunities... tourism 0 0 . attract at least 55 million tourists annually by 1995 and support efforts by all areas of the state wishing to develop or expand tourist-related economies. Those policies pertinent to urban water fronts are listed in Appendix A. State Land Development Plan In order to implement the State Comprehensive Plan's policies within state government, the 1984 legislation also required development of agency functional plans by all state agencies. 5 Two specific plans being prepared, which provide direction for subsequent agency functional plans are the State Land Development Plan by the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and the State Water Use Plan by the Department of Environmental Regulation (DER). Eventually the Florida Transportation Plan will be submitted by the Florida Department of Transportation as an additional portion of the State Comprehensive Plan's growth management element. A procedure for these plans' preparation currently being developed by the Governor's Office groups State Comprehensive Plan groups policies into "clusters" based on more specific concerns than the original 25 goals. Those policy clusters which generally relate to urban waterfront are shown in Appendix B. Examples of the relationship between the above policy clusters to be used in developing agency functional plans and the policies related to waterfront management are shown in Appendix C. The State Land Development Plan contains several policy clusters which relate to urban waterfront development. These clusters state at least one operating policy that addresses the special attributes of of urban waterfronts. Protection of Coastal Resources Priority should be given to water dependent activities such as ports, marinas, fishing and recreational and commercial fishing industry over non-water dependent activities such as intensive urban, residential and non-water-related industry and commerce. In the planning, development and redevelopment of shoreline committed to urban use, emphasize water-related activities that enhaftce the utilization of the marine environment. 6 Land use plans must contain ample space to accommodate all reasonably expected demand for water dependent development. Non-water dependent development should not be allowed in coastal and marine areas unless there is suitable ample space for any water dependent development that can be expected in the foreseeable future. Protection of Marine Resources Use a combination of regulation, acquisition and financial incentives to limit shoreline development that will adversely impact marine fisheries' habitat. Balanced and Planned Development Develop and propose legislation to implement the means to assemble parcels of land in urban and platted development areas in a manner that would encourage redevelopment and mixed land use. Encourage use of flexible land use regulations, such as mixed use zoning, planned unit development ordinances, and performance zoning, as alternatives to traditional fixed use zoning regulations. Utilize land development review procedures that (1) encourage mixed land uses; (2) encourage the appropriate use of rural resources; and (3) ensure that necessary public facilities are equitably provided concurrent with the stages of development. In preparation for the waterfront management element of the State Land Development Plan, DCA has prepared some preliminary definitions, examples of water related uses, and policy guidelines. Water dependent means "any activity which requires direct access to a water body in order to accomplish its intended purpose". Water enhanced refers to an activity which provides the user with increased benefits as a result of proximity to a water body. Water dependent uses fall into five main categories:@@ industrial, military, commercial, active recreational, and open 7 space/preservation. The first category includes fish processing facilities, desalinization plants, onshore oil and gasfacilities, shipyards, and power plants. The second group includes Naval and Coast Guard bases, while the third encompasses commercial fishing and fish handling facilities, water taxis, marinas, ports, and marine research laboratories. The fourth includes fishing piers, boat ramps, public access ways, historic ships and water sports. The last category contains natural and landscaped areas such as riverfront greenbelts. Water enhanced uses include a variety of commercial and residential uses. The first group includes restaurants, hotels, amusement parks, tourist activities and specialty shops. The second includes waterfront condominiums, townhouses and single family homes. Although the draft State Water Use Plan being prepared by DER does not directly address urban waterfronts, several objectives and operating policies apply to sound management of urban waterfront resources. DER's discussion of stbrmwater run-off, wastewater, and hazardous wastes targets timelines by which restoration or contamination reduction should be accomplished in order to achieve or maintain specified levels of water quality. The State Water Use Plan could respond to the State Land Development Plan's coastal resource operating policy dealing with water dependent activities. DER could provide targets by which the water quality in fh6 domain of urban waterfronts could be improved. This approach would treat S urban waterfronts as altered systems as opposed to natural systems, thereby setting forth an appropriate and attainable standard. The Florida Transportation Plan likewise could incorporate specific attributes of urban waterfronts into its goals. An operating policy for public safety and access in coastal areas could specifically address how the rapid growth around urban waterfronts can be managed; how increased traffic could be accommodated; how a variety of transportation modes could be integrated; and how safe access for pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, and public transit passengers could be assured. The Florida Transportation Plan, moreover, could address waterports under two different policy clusters in the SCP's public facilities element. 'Maximum use of existing public facilities' and 'planning for public facilities' would provide objectives and operating policies for water ports, which represent an enormous public investment. Comprehensive Regional Policy Plans Assuring consistency between.state plans and those of the regional planning councils has been a major concern in drafting the rules for developing comprehensive regional policy plans (CRRP). Because the plans-will serve as a basis for Development of Regional Impact (DRI) review, it is essential for them to be consistent with the State Comprehensive Plan. To accomplish this goal, CRRP uses policy clusters to identify appropriate issues. Each shall contain background information on regional 9 conditions and trends as they relate to regional issues, regional goals and policies, with an explanation of each goal's significance, and a statement of measurable standards for implementing the plan. The CRRP,Is will be reviewed by the Governor's office and other state agencies and evaluated for consistency with State Comprehensive Plan policies. The Executive Office of the Governor would report the results of state and local agencies' review to the regional planning council. The council would have the right to appeal to the Governor and Cabinet. The adopted plans will influence the application of State comprehensive planning as well as agency functional plans within each region, pursuant to Section 186.507, F.S. Current urban waterfront problems with which regional planning councils shall be dealing include traffic expansion, environmental quality, and accessible ancillary facilities. The policy clusters in a CRRP could provide direction in how passenger and cargo growth could be managed to minimize congestion and improve accessibility at ports; how environmental concerns in a bay or estuarine system could be controlled; and how hotels, restaurants, specialty retail, entertainment, and cultural facilities along the waterfront could be expanded to serve the region's needs. Land and Water Management .7t@ Recent revisions to Chapter 380 are an appropriate extension 10 of the CRRP process. Of greatest significance to urban waterfronts is the required consistency of DRI review with the OCRM funded marina siting plan prepared by DNR, pursuant to section,380.0651, F.S. This will require improved intergovernmental coordination. In addition, guidelines and standards have been established for the D.R.I. review. Section 380.06 sets two fixed thresholds. Between is a realm where discretion is used. The thresholds are fixed at the following: a. A development that is at or below So percent of all numerical thresholds in the guidelines and standards shall not be required to undergo development-of-regional-impact review. b. A development that is at or above 120 percent of any numerical threshold shall be required to undergo development-of-regional-impact review. The realm of discretion contains two 'rebuttable presumptions.' Within this area a development may or may not be required to undergo a development-of-regional-impact review. a. It shall be presumed that a development that is between 80 and 100 percent of a numerical threshold shall not be required to undergo development-of-regional-impact review. b. It shall be presumed that'a development that is at 100 percent or between 100 and 120 percent of a numerical threshold shall be required to undergo development-of- reginal-impact review. Those thresholds which pertain to urban waterfront management include number of parking spaces, industrial development area, wet/dry storage, number of dwelling units, hotel/motel units, recreational vehicle parks open space allotment, level of..,traffic generated, buffer, and special protection areas. A copy of specific figures is attached in Appendix D. 11 The Deepwater Port Master Plan Because of the regional significance of deepwater ports the required master plan prepared by each deepwater port listed in Section 403.021(9), F.S. is another relevant component of the CRRP process. The Master Plan must address existing facilities, proposed port expansions, and any other applicable requirements of the element. An incentive to prepare a port.master plan is provided by the exemption of certain port improvements from state review as a Development of Regional Impact when they are consistent with such a master plan. The criteria prepared by DCA must also assure that harbors which fall within more than one local jurisdiction (as well as bays and estuaries) are managed "in a consistent and coordinated manner" where those local governments are required to include a coastal management element in their plan. Substate District Committee The Legislature further expanded the opportunity for regional oversight benefical to urban water fronts when it recently created a committee consisting of sixteen members: twelve gubernatorial appointments and four legislative appointments. The term is to extend no longer than June 30, 1987. The Substate District Committee will "review the current systems of substate districts which are being used to divide the state for administrative, jurisdictional; planning, or other purposes," including such geographic boundaries as water management districts, regional 12 planning councils, and substate districts, regional planning councils, and substate districts of the executive departments. The Committee is also charged with reviewing "the process of designating geographic boundaries of the above districts, to determine the boundaries' appropriateness in terms of efficient service delivery, coordinated planning, and cooperative agency functioning. This body has the potential of providing additional oversight of resource management of urban waterfronts. Its review could address the level of efficiency, coordination, and cooperation among the overlapping authorities managing the urban waterfronts. overlapping authorities in the case of urban waterfronts could include municipal and county governments water management districts, port authorities, special service districts, and historical districts. Existing programs which serve a similar oversight function will be discussed later. Local Government comprehensive Planning And Land Development-Regulations Act Local regulation is the most direct influence upon waterfront development in Florida. In 1985, the Legislature significantly amended Chapter 163, revising the requirements for coastal, conservation, and land use elements and requiring improved coordination between elements. More importantly, the revised statute authorized the state land planning agency (DCA) toadopt by rule criteria for reviewing local plan consistency with state 13 concerns. The criteria are to be adopted by February 15, 1986. Each county must submit its comprehensive plan to t)CA before December 1, 1987; each coastal municipality before December 1, 1988, and each non-coastal municipality before December 1, 1989. If the plan or element is determined by the state as not in compliance with the adopted criteria, the Governor and Cabinet "may direct state agencies not to provide funds to increase the capacity of roads, bridges, and water and sewer systems for the non-complying local jurisdiction". EXISTING COASTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS As described above, and illustrated in the attached flowchart, the comprehensive planning process can be a useful tool for water- front communities. Planning techniques are even more effective in achieving waterfront preservation and redevelopment goals when they are combined with the financial assistance programs described in the section following the discussion of implementation. Coastal management in Florida', like urban waterfront management, is a complex process involving all levels of government in implementing numerous statutes. This section will summarize the major state level coastal programs. The State's Coastal Management Program is based on "Issues of Special focus" which ,:Cre designed to provide future direction in three sub-areas: rc_-_-L@rce protection, coastal development and coastal storms. Resource protection issues deal with coral reefs, estuaries and barrier islands. Coastal development addresses 14 ports, and dredged material maintenance, siting of water-related facilities such as powcr plants and marinas, as well as fisheries and recreation. Coastal storm issues encompass sheltee'and evacuation needs. The specific state programs dealing with these issues are discussed in other subsections of this report. The Office of Coastal Management in DER administers Florida's coastal management program, which is divided into four activity areas: 1) regulation of commercial navigation system maintenance dredging and disposal.; 2) review of federal activities for consistency with th- @.,,.-roved coastal program; 3) interagency coordination througli 'Cl.c Interagency Advisory Committee (IAC),, Interagency Management Committee (IMC), and Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC); and 4) supervision of OCRM-funded projects at the state, regional and local levels. Another component of the state's Coastal Management Program is the Areas of Special which include Aquatic Preserves, the State WilderneE@_-, Conservation and Recreation Lands as well as Areas of State Concern. Programs specifically addressing coastal c,_-,._,'_,_-uction, beach erosion, coastal barriers, wetland and shorelir,_- lr'-Yctection, critical areas, and wildlife management are descr.`J-..cd in Appendix E. 15 IMPLEMENTATION OF RECENT LEGISLATION To implement the new revisions to Section 163, F.S. additional positions have been created in the DCA. This staff is 'responsible for preparing the criteria and providing technical assistance to local governments in the form of model ordinances and public information activities. A discussion of how the new requirements mesh with urban waterfronts follows. The Land Use Element The land use element must now contain a map indicating natural features including wetlands, rivers, bays, lakes, floodplains, and harbors, beaches and shores, including estuarine systems, and existing and planned waterwells. Similarly, the coastal management element must contain a land use and inventory map to include: � Existing coastal uses � Wildlife habitat �Wetland and other vegetative communities �Areas subject to coastal flooding �Public access routes to beach and shore resources �Historic preservation areas �Other areas of special concern to local government These maps should improve coordination between land use regulation and coastal management activities. Another requirement which will further link these planning efforts is the analysis of the impact of the future land use plan element on coastal-7@, resources. This analysis must consider the environmental, 16 socioeconomic, and fiscal impacts of such development as well as related infrastructure needs. The Coastal Management Element The coastal management element must also be based on "studies, surveys,, and data and be consistent with coastal resource plans prepared and adopted pursuant to general or special law". In addition to the above map; redevelopment and hazard mitigation requirements are described later in Appendix E under Coastal Barriers. The element must also include a "shoreline use component" which identifies public beach access and "addresses the need for water-dependent and water-related facilities including marinas along shoreline areas." This will be coordinated with the recreation element, which must also provide an inventory of beach access. The following requirements for local comprehensive plans' coastal management elements apply to coastal barriers statewide: 1) Designation of high hazard coastal areas subject to destruction or severe damage by natural disasters; 2) Analysis of the impacts of proposed development and required infrastructure on the natural and historical resources of the coast and the plans and principles to be used to control development to eliminate or mitigate adverse impacts on barrier islands including beach and dune systems, wetlands, wildlife and other fragile resources; 3) Mapping of existing coa&tal resources and beach and shore access routes and other areas of special local concern; 4) Outlining of the principles for hazard mitigation and disaster protection and identification of techni,(ttes planned or adopted for such mitigation; 17 5) Outlining of the principles for beach and dune system protection and restoration; and 6) Outlining of the principles to be used to eliminate unsafe and inappropriate coastal development. The 1985 Legislature's revision of Chapter 163, F.S., giving DCA statutory authority to review local comprehensive plans based on legislatively adopted criteria makes this statute potentially eligible for inclusion in the state's Coastal Management Program. Integrating Elements in Waterfront Management The coastal, conservation and land use elements have the most direct relationship to urban waterfronts. Those which relate indirectly include the traffic circulation element, which must include bicycle and pedestrian ways, that may be located along the water's edge, and the capital improvements element, which must consider the need for and siting of public facilities. The intergovernmental coordination element should also encourage coordinated waterfront planning along water bodies that do not usually coincide with local jurisdictions. Finally, optional historic and scenic preservation anid safety elements also relate to specific waterfront issues. Local governments interested in effective waterfront management could use the comprehensive planning process to achieve this goal in the following ways: 1) The land use map can be used to depict waterfronts as areas of special concern, subject to special ordinances such as setbacks, sign controls, pervious surface area requirements ancf-@' landscaping codes. 18 2) The capital improvements plan can include a list of capital improve- ments specifically oriented toward the waterfront, such as marine stadiums, municipal marinas, boat ramps, and fishing piers. 3) The historic preservation plan and land use plan can include methods of preserving historic waterfront sites. Local governments can do this by determining ways to reuse historic buildings rather than build new facilities whenever it is cost- effective to do so and by providing density bonuses or other incentives for preservation. 4) The traffic circulation element, in conjunction with capital improvements, land use, conservation and open space/recreation, could be used to establish a greenbelt system along the waterfront. 5) The recreation element can be used to project future needs for boat ramps, public marinas, fishing piers, beach accessways, and beach parking to be coordinated with traffic circulation and capital improvements. 6) The conservation element in conjunction with recreation, land use and capital improvements can be used to indicate where sensitive land and water resources - particularly wetlands and rivers - need to be protected through acquisition, various incentives and regulatory programs. 7) The coastal management element, in conjunction with the capital improvements and land use elements, can be used to restrict development and redevelopment of hazardous waterfront areas, including construction of public facilities. 8) The intergovernmental coordination element can be used to coordinate each local government's plans for a water body within various jurisdictions. The effectiveness of these elements' implementation will also depend on the adoption and enforcement of strict local land development regulations. The 1985 act also requires local governments, within one year of submission of the required plan, "to adopt or amend and enforce land development regulations that are consistent with and implement their adopted comprehensive plan". Minimum requirements for the above regulations are spelled out in the law. 19 The law encourages use of innovative land development regulations, including: transfer of development rights, impact fees, performance zoning and clustered development. It.-also requires local governments to combine all development regulations into a single code. Finally, DCA is authorized by the law to adopt criteria for review of the above regulations by February 15, 1987, for approval by the Legislature. 20 FUNDING MECHANISMS FOR WATERFRONT MANAGEMENT Waterfront cities in Florida can use several goverment assistance programs at the federal, state, and local levels to encourage waterfront management and development. These progtams can be categorized in terms of their functions. The following are functions of urban waterfront programs: water quality management, park acquisition and development, regulation of harbor maintenance, community development, and historic preservation. Water Quality Management Among DER's several resource protection functions, two are related to wastewater treatment: 1) permitting and enforcement of treatment plant operations and 2) funding the planning and construction of plants. To obtain a DER permit, each plant must meet not only minimum standards for treatment, but also water quality discharge limits. The two aspects of the agency's wastewater regulatory program consist of monitoring plants for compliance with state standards and certifying plant operators by training and examinations. The agency also administers funding for planning, design and construction of sewage treatment plants using funds available under the federal Clean Water Act. Communities meeting the department's priority guidelines are eligible for 75 percent federal funding. The remaining 25 percent must be providCa,by the local government, although a state loan program is available. 21 kn extra 10 percent funding is also available from the state for communities that use innovative wastewater treatment techniques. Park Acquisition and Development The Florida Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is autho rized by Florida Statutes (Chapters 258, 259, and 375) to prepare a statewide outdoor recreation plan, acquire lands for conservation and recreation, and to develop recreational facilities at the state and local levels. The DNR funds its own mom recreation planning staff, and provides limited technical assistance for waterfront park planning. Such assistance consists of disseminating examples of various communities' waterfront recreational facilities such as boat ramps to interested local governments. Florida is one of the nation's leaders in purchasing recrea- tional lands. Funding sources for open space include the Conserva- tion and Recreation Lands (CARL) program, which replaced the Environmentally Endangered Lands program, the Save Our Coast and Save Our Rivers programs. The CARL program, funded by a severance tax on mineral extraction such as phosphate mining, annually purchases thousands of acres of wetlands and waterfront lands. Save Our Coasts, funded by a $200 million bond issue, concentrates on purchasing sensitive beachfront properties threatened by urban development. A recent priority list for CARL and Save Our Coasts is attached in Appendix G. One of the newest sources of funds for waterfront laij;s in rapidly growing areas, the Save Our Rivers program was authorized 22 by Section 373.59, Florida Statutes. This legislation authorized the state*s five water management districts to acquire lands along major river corridors for recreational purposes using a state matching contribution. The law also required preparation of five year acquisition plans by each of the districts. Several sources are also available to communities for construc- tion of park facilities. The federal Land and Water Conservation Fund, administered by DNR, is a 50-50 federal/local matching grant .program which can be used for acquisition or development of outdoor MON recreation sites. Due to budget constraints, the fund is more frequently used for development. Applicants may apply for up to $500,000 or 10 percent of the annual state allotment, whichever is greater, each submission period. Waterfront projects funded in the past under this program have included boat launching sites in Clearwater and St. Petersburg, beach park improvements in Citrus and Brevard Counties, and a nature park along the Intracoastal Waterway in Hollywood. Two other DNR administered programs which can be used by counties and cities to fund waterfront park development are the Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program (FRDAP) and the Florida Boating Improvement Program (FBIP). FRDAP encourages development of resource-based facilities such as beach accessways and fishing piers rather than user-oriented areas such as ballfields and swimming pools. The program provides two state dollars for every local dollar requested to finance resource-based facilities, and one state to two local dollars for user oriented or a-sixture of both types of facilities. Grant funds, limited to $250,000 per 23 applicant, are ranked by the department and awarded by the Governor and Cabinet. The procedures for FRDAP and Land and Water Conserva- tion are authorized by Florida Statutes, Chapters 370 and 375. One strictly waterfront park program is the Florida Boating Improvement Program (FBIP). This program returns a portion of the state's motorboat license fees to each county to finance recrea- tional channel marking, public launching and other boating related facilities. Although only counties are eligible to apply, some man counties allow cities to apply for these funds through them, while others limit the fund's use to county projects. FBIP funds may be used to match either FRDAP or Land and Water Conservation Fund grants. Both FRDAP and FBIP require project completion within two years, while Land and Water allows two years after the fiscal year in which the project was approved. Larger FBIP projects must be phased in and opened to the public in two year phases. Projects funded in the past have included boat ramps, waterway signs, navigational channel marking, dredging from public boating facilities to navigable channels and support facilities at boat ramps, such as restrooms and utilities. A companion program pursuant to Chapter 376 (Rule 160-22) is the Spoil Site Acquisition and improvement Program, administered by DNR. This program is funded by the interest accrued on the Florida Coastal Protection Trust Fund, derived from taxes on shipment of petroleum and other potentially hazardous shipped materials. Pursuant to the program criteria, only publicjy@ maintained projects for which navigation is the primary purpose 24 are eligible. The list of eligible applicants includes twelve commercial ports specified in the above statute and rule. Applicants can request up to a 50 percent matching-.grant from the state. To receive funds for spoil site acquisition, the appli- cant must deed the property to the state's Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund upon purchase. Improvements such as pumping facilities, dikes and weirs are also eligible for funds. Projects are ranked by a DNR-appointed Advisory Committee. The committee makes recommendations to the agency's Executive Director and recommends rule revisions. Applicants must be permit- table by DER and must submit a Spoil Site Management plan for approval by the Committee as well as the Governor and Cabinet, sitting as the Board of Trustees. This program is administered by DNR's Division of Resource Management in cooperation with DER. The application form and management plan outline are attached in Appendix H. Regulation of Harbor Maintenance Throughout the post war period, Florida has sought to maintain a balance between increasing demands for commercial shipping and sensitive coastal ecosystems. Chapter 315, Florida Statutes, set up a mechanism for financing port construction, while Chapters 253, 376, and 403 authorized state agencies to protect water quality and public use of state owned submerged lands. In accordance with DER's responsibilities for managing water quality, the department administers a long term permitting program for deepwater port maintenance dredging and disposal. Chapter 17-45, Florida 25 ,Administrative Code, establishes standards and criteria intended to enable ports to conduct maintenance dredging in an environmentally sound yet efficient manner. Applicants must provide data on the composition of dredg`@ed materials as well as how such spoil will be managed. This program implements Chapters 253 and 403, Florida Statutes. In federal fiscal year 86, DER will use OCRM funds to apply the knowledge derived from its deepwater ports regulatory program to conduct an mom applied estuarine management project. Community Development The following subsection describes some available funding sources for development and redevelopment. URBAN DEVELOPMENT ACTION GRANTS (UDAG) This federal program was designed to stimulate private invest- ment in cities and urban counties in need of economic recovery. Such funds were intended to carry out joint ventures between the public and private sectors. Examples of such projects include clearance, provision of infrastructure, and construction of mixed use developments. UDAG financing may be used as loans, interest subsidy or other types of financing required to facilitate urban development. The minimum private sector contribution is $2.50 of private funds for each UDAG dollar requested. Selection criteria include the extent of permanent job creation, probability of completion within four years with the funds provided, degree of minority business participation, ratio of private funds to be generated, and various economic distress 26 indices such as unemployment rates. Applicants must also show results in providing housing and employment opportunities for low and moderate income persons and minority groups. Smaller cities (under 50,000 population), and communities with extremely distressed areas "Pockets of Poverty" may also qualify under certain circumstances. Several waterfront communities in Florida have received UDAG funds including the restoration of the Pier House Hotel, in Key West; the renovation of a historic train station and hotel construction in Pensacola, the world trade center development in Miami. Program procedures are explained in greater detail in 24 CFR Part 570, Rules and Regulations of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (Federal Register Vol. 47, No. 36). TAX INCREMENT FINANCING In response to declining federal funding for urban redevelop- ment, Florida joined other states in 1977 by authorizing local agencies to use tax increment financing for urban redevelopment. Chapter 163, F.S., enables local governments to issue revenue bonds secured by an anticipated increase in the assesed value of a targeted area. This technique uses the additional ad valorem taxes generated by a redevelopment area to offset the costs of improving the area. Revenues generated by the project area after adoption of a redevelopment plan are deposited in a special trust fund to later repay the bond holders. Tax increment financing is considered a valuable tool for several reasons. First, it provides an upfront funding source 27 without the delay associated with applying for other government assistance. Second, because it relies solely on local sources it maintains local autonomy and discretion. Disadvantages which require upfront consideration include an over emphasis on economic considerations to the detriment of social needs. Thus,.in the rush to generate property tax revenues an agency might be inclined to build high income housing rather than to serve the needs of low and moderate income residents. Planning of mixed uses including affordable housing can eliminate this problem. Another criticism is the displacement of tax revenues which would otherwise be used to provide public services throughout the city. Although little data exists to support or dispute this claim, experience in several cities indicates that the costs of providing services to a depressed area are higher. Thus redevelopment may reduce the costs of servicing the project area in the long run. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANIS This federal program adminisiered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development funds a variety of urban redevelopment activities designed to benefit low and moderate income people, to eliminate blight, or make urgent improvements. The entitlements program funds such projects in counties over 200,000 and cities over 50,000 (cities under 50,000 if the central city of an SMSA). The Small Cities Program awards grants on a competitive b4sis for special projects by counties under 200,000 and cities under 50,000. 28 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT-GRANTS The U.S. Economic Development Administration provides several types of grants including economic adjustment, public works, business development and economic development planning. Adjustment grants are awarded to local governments and nonprofit organizations to overcome sudden or long-term economic dislocation. A 25 percent local match is required. Public works grants are designed to fund construction of public facilities serving mainly businesses in areas with high unemployment. A 25 to 50 percent local match is required. Business development loans can be used by local governments, nonprofit groups or private businesses to finance industrial or commercial facilities. Economic development planning grants can be used to administer local economic planning efforts. ECONOMIC-DEVELOPMENT T&X INCENTIVES Section 220.183, F.S., the Community Improvement Act of 1980, created a procedure for designating economically distressed areas (generally central cities) as "enterprise zones." Amendments to the act adopted in 1984 authorize tax credits for businesses that create new jobs or fill a position which has been vacant for more than one year with a resident of an enterprise zone. To qualify for designation as enterprise zones, local governments or nonprofit organizations must have passed a resolution designating such zones before July 1, 1984. No new enterprise zones may now be designated. The existing 136,Areas will be reduced to 20 enterprise zones by December 31, 1986. 29 The Department of Community Affairs' Bureau of Community Assistance administers this program. The enclosed City of Jacksonville Beach's eligibility letter, along with maps of the city's enterprise zones and a local resolution, illustrate how the program applies to a specific waterfront community. Also enclosed is a list of DCA approved enterprise zones and contact persons throughout the state. Historic Preservation Florida's waterfront areas were the first parts of the state to be settled largely because waterways provided the most direct access. As a result, the majority of the state's historical and archaeological sites are located in coastal counties. The main program which inventories and encourages preservation of such sites is the National Register of Historic Places, administered by the Florida Department of State's Division of Archives, History and Records Management. The state presently has 469 individual properties listed on the National Register and thirty listed historic districts, including nearly 10,000 properties. Virtually every large waterfront community in the state, including Miami, Pensacola, Tampa, Key West, and Jacksonville, has one or more designated historic districts. These are listed in Appendix 1. The Department of State administers two federal programs pursuant to the Federal Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and one state program which can be used by various applicants to restore historic structures. The first, investment tax credits, is 30 restricted to rehabilitation of income-producing properties. Owners of property thirty years or older can receive a 15 percent tax credit for rehabilitation of such a structure, and properties 40 years or older are eligible for a 20 percent tax credit. Properties on the National Register if rehabilitated are eligible for a 25 percent tax credit. This program will be in effect through 3anuary 31, 1986. Final project review is conducted by the National Park Service in accordance with rehabilitation standards Raw .set by the U.S. Department of the Interior. Another federal program which provides incentives for historic preservation is known as grants-in-aid. This program is available to anyone with property listed on the National Register. It provides grants on a 50-50 matching competitive basis. The applicant - whether a private individual, non-profit organization or government agency - must match each federal dollar one for one. The State of Florida pursuant to Section 550.03, F.S., administers a similar grants-in-aid program using state funds to reimburse applicants. The same criteria used by the federal program to evaluate eligible properties' significance are used by the Department of State under this program. The main difference between federal and state programs is the type of applicant who is eligible. Most of the available funding is provided by the state's general revenues; these monies can only be used to fund rehabilita- tion by non-profit organizations, state and local agencies - not profit-making enterprises. A small amount of revenues is generated by donations from legalized betting operations in accordance with 31 state law. These funds can be awarded to either public or private sector applicants. I -.1ror I 32 AREA SPECIFIC IMPLEMENTATION EFFORTS To determine the value of such programs to waterfront communities, an informal telephone survey of communitieg engaged in various phases of redevelopment was conducted during the week of August 19,, 1985. In the context of Florida institutions, this study is best served by using Florida communities as case studies in urban waterfront management. Jacksonville, Pensacola, Tampa/St. Petersburg, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami Beach are relevant examples that explain how many of the state, regional, and local institutions work. Jacksonville The City of Jacksonville is actively involved in revitalizing its downtown, which extends along the north and south banks of the St. Johns River, using a variety of funding sources. Several major projects have either been constructed or are planned in the next two years, ranging from a Riverwalk and Convention Center (using tax increment financing) to the construction of a People Mover with a combination of federal, state aha local dollars. A public/private partnership will utilize C.D. Block Grant funds to develop a festival retail marketplace. Economic development funds have been used to improve downtown area roadways, stimulating development in the vicinity. Federal funds are being used to provide new ramps to and from a major bridge and state funds are being used for interstdte highway improvements. Federal funds were also used to renourish Jacksonville area beaches, and additional dollars have been 33 requested from Congress to construct a municipal marina, to create a new turning basin at the Port of Jacksonville, to investigate the water quality of the St. Johns River, and to perform maIntenance dredging of the Intracoastal Waterway. Jacksonville was the first city in Florida to carry out a new DCA program - the Downtown Development of Regional Impact (DRI). By means of this program, a 230-acre area was designated as a basis for reviewing all development activities as one downtown redevelop- ment project, instead of reviewing each project individually. This streamlined development review process is now being used for a second project area: 660 acres along the South Bank of the St. Johns River. Local funding is being used for the Riverwalk and to determine the feasibility of converting a shallow canal to a navigable waterway accessible to the Convention Center by means of water trains. Municipal bonds were used to finance a parking garage and industrial revenue bonds are being used to provide business loans. The City's Downtown Redevelopment Agency, in accordance with Chapter 220, F.S., is using enterprise zones to encourage busi- nesses to locate downtown. The agency also uses the Community Contribution Tax Credit, a 50 percent credit against state corporate income tax, as an incentive to development. The agency also uses redevelopment powers including condemnation, pursuant to Chapter 163, F.S., and negotiates with developers. They also act as the developer's agent in order to streamline the review process. 34 Pensacola Traditionally, the jurisdiction of Pensacola's Community Redevelopment Agency has been limited to the downtown core. Based upon the success of various redevelopment efforts, however, the agency is considering expanding its project area to include surrounding residential areas in need of restoration. The subject areas are approximately 60-year old neighborhoods in need of some additional maintenance. To finance the needed improvements, the City is investigating the use of HUD funds for total residential rehabilitation. Notable among the successful projects is Baylen Slip, an area which formerly consisted of decaying piers and commercial fish houses. The original plans were funded by the Coastal Zone Management program. The first of a two-phase redevelopment plan has already spurred further downtown development. Using revenues from a 1982 bond issue, the city bulkheaded the slip, installed a public walkway and has leased this city-owned land for condominium and marina development. The next phase will include foirty-eight more residential units. Forty-three slips have already been constructed and leased. The project will generate annual lease revenues as well as property tax dollars. The City is also planning to develop three City marinas, at already improved or sites under construction. Redevelopment of the downtown has also been accomplished using CD monies and a special tax on downtown properties. Thesei'two revenue sources enabled store owners to renovate their businesses' facades within a three-block area known as Palafox Place. 35 Additional CD funds will be used to redevelop another area in the next two years. Private construction has been encouraged by a varibty of programs. First, the Hilton Hotel was constructed in conjunction with the restoration of a historic railroad terminal using UDAG funds. Second, the City Council has recently authorized the back- ground research necessary to issue mortgage revenue bonds for adaptive reuse of the historically significant San Carlos Hotel as a residential structure. Twenty percent of the 250 units will consist of low and moderate income housing. At least one bond issue has been used to encourage several major private office parks to locate downtown. one additional funding source, tax increment financing, was authorized in March 1984. The City is investigating the feasibility of using such local sources to help finance low and moderate income housing by purchasing a suitable site. The feasibility of making port improvements is also being investigated. Tampa/St. Petersburg These two neighboring cities' approaches to waterfront redevelopment differ significantly. Tampa has experienced extensive privately financed development, and only limited public expenditures. only one waterfront project - a convention center was funded using tax increment financing. Restoration of the Ybor City Historic District, the former center of the ared-Is cigar making industry, has been spurred by its designation as an enterprise zone pursuant to Chapter 220, F.S. Several otthe 36 structures formerly used by the cigar manufacturers have been or are being restored and converted to retail uses and cultural facilities. In contrast with this approach, the City of St. Petersburg is trying to develop a downtown waterfront redevelopment program for the municipal pier complex using tax increment and general fund dollars. Consultants to the City are also developing a more unified design for one of the state's only waterfront park systems. The consultants' report will recommend ways of establishing a consistent theme through the use of uniform paving and landscaping materials, and will identify possible funding sources, by 1986. St. Petersburg is also trying to encourage preservation of the 1920's era Vinoy Hotel as well as to add to the municipal water- front park system. To accomplish these goals, the City has agreed to exchange the city-owned Edgewater Hotel which is of interest to the Vinoy's developer, for another waterfront parcel. If the developer can arrange financing, the historic Vinoy will be restored. One indication of the contrast between St. Petersburg and Tampa is the different attitudes toward a festival marketplace. In 1985, St. Petersburg voters defeated a referendum to develop a marketplace at the municipal pier. At the same time, the City of Tampa approved plans for a festival marketplace which opened in the Summer of 1985. Fort Lauderdale Because this city's downtown borders the New River, the 37 Downtown Development Authority is cosponsoring a one-year planning study to identify suitable land uses, including public improvements, for the riverfront. A team of consultants is.. studying the existing land uses and economic feasibility of future land uses as well as the potential for historic preservation in the area. The study has received the support of area landowners. It is being funded from general revenues, but the city eventually plans to use tax increment financing for redevelopment activities. Miami Beach Unlike other oceanfront resorts, Miami Beach has not been able to attract large scale redevelopment to its depressed southern tip. To help stimulate development, the City has undertaken a variety of projects ranging from expansion of the convention center (using a county resort tax) to a five-year 10.5-mile beach renourishment project and a new city beach park/promenade, both fill using federal, state and local funds. Several other projects are planned, including the use of CD monies for park and road improve- ments, improved drainage, landscaping and signage along one of the major roadways linking Miami Beach to the mainland, and use of 1984 bond issue revenues for other needed capital improvements. South Pointe Park, a seventeen acre recreation area, was financed with city bond monies, metered parking revenues, and other local dollars, matched by a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant. Nearby, the proposed City marina will feature 400 wet slips and 264 dry racks, a Baywalk, shops, restaurants and recreation areas. A 38 private mixed use development with various residential uses, a hotel and health club have also been proposed for this vicinity. Other funding sources being used include federal tax incentives and the use of CD loans for historic preservation. one private developer is renovating an Art Deco-style hotel into low and moderate income apartments using federal CD loan funds. The City's Police Department is also adapting the old City Hall, built in 1927, as part of a new justice center complex. The above examples demonstrate that no one formula is suitable for every waterfront community. Each city must apply effective planning techniques within the state's overall planning framework to achieve its desired shoreline environment. The community must then identify suitable funding sources - both public and private - based upon the above assistance programs and the appropriate combination of planning and investment will result in successful waterfront management. 39 APPENDIX A SELECTED STATE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES PUBLIC SAFETY * Require local governments, in cooperation with regioftal and state agencies, to prepare advance plans for the safe evacuation of coastal residents. 9 Require local governments, in cooperation with regional and state agencies, to adopt plans and policies to protect public and private property and human lives from the effect of.natural disasters. mom WATER RESOURCES * Ensure that new development is compatible with existing local and regional water supplies.

APPENDIX E COASTAL PROGRAMS Coastal Construction The state program which regulates coastal construction and design is the Coastal Construction Control Line program, pursuant to Chapter 161, Florida Statutes. The DNR Division of Beaches and Shores administers this regulatory program which attempts to limit the proximity and susceptibility of development to hazardous coastal conditions in most coastal counties. The agency administers build- ing standards based on storm conditions. Division staff is currently in the process of developing rules to implement the thirty-year erosion setback enacted by the State Legislature in 1985. Beach Erosion Chapter 161 also authorized DNR to provide funds for beach renourishment and dune restoration and to disburse federal dollars for these purposes. The agency may pay up to 75 percent of the non-federal costs for such projects, including such items as biological monitoring and revegetation. Local government sponsors must pay the remaining non-federal costs including establishing erosion control lines and obtaining required permits as well as required parking areas and rights-of-way and engineering. The DNR may also pay up to 75 percent of the costs of similar projects not funded by the federal government, and up to 100 percent of inlet sand transfer projects and navigational mainte- nance dredging projects whose primary purpose is beach nourishment. To qualify for state funding of federal projects, local sponsors must provide permanent public beach access, including porking, at one-half mile intervals. Coastal Barriers Coastal barrier islands, another program issue, are being inventoried by DCA, in order to implement the Governor's Executive Order 81-105 and to recommend revisions to the Coastal Barrier Resource Act (CBRA). In a draft of a new coastal barrier executive order Governor Graham reaffirms the state's disposition concerning public investment in hazardous areas. The draft provides implementation guidance for use during the phase-in of the growth management legislation adopted in 1985. Of the policies stated, those most germare to urban waterfronts are: e funding only for projects of most crucial need in coastal high hazard areas defined as the coastal building zone; state funds can be used for maintenance, repair, and replacement of existing facilities at the same capacity; 9 resource planning and management plans adopted by the Governor and Cabinet should guide state agencies when state funds are contemplated for areas with these plans. Wetland and Shoreline Protection Probably DER's best known function is the regulation of development activities in inland and coastal waters and w9tlands. Examples of activities requiring permits are dredging or filling, construction of docks or piers, and beach restoration. Ajoint 2 application process in conjunction with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Florida Department of Natural Resources seeks to minimize duplication of review efforts and unnecessary aelays. This program, administered by DER's Bureau of Permitting in cooperation with statewide field offices, implements Chapters 403 and 253 of the Florida Statutes and Chapter 17-3 of the Florida Administrative Code. Each of DER's twelve district offices as well as the South of Florida Water Management District and in some cases city and county agencies, administer the state's stormwater regulation standards for designing stormwater facilities. Chapter 17-25 (the state stormwater rule) and Chapter 17-3 (water quality standards) of the Florida Administrative Code as well as other DER rules require adequate treatment of stormwater before it is discharged into Florida waters. The DNR also has statutory responsibilities for protecting the public interest in wetlands and coastal areas. Chapter 253, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 160-21, Florida Administrative Code for submerged land leasing rules,.Authorize DNR to lease state- owned submerged lands for activities such as docking facilities. In evaluating proposed uses, agency staff considers the impacts of such development on marine and estuarine resources, endangered species, shellfish, and archaeological resources. DNR's Bureau of Environmental Land Management specifically evaluates proposed leasing of aquatic preserves, and makes recommendations tothe Division of State Lands, pursuant to Chapter 16Q-19, F.A.C. 3 Critical Areas The Department of Community Affairs, pursuant to Chapter 380, Florida Statutes, administers the Resource Planning and Management Committee and Areas of Critical State Concern programs. These programs focus on specific areas that contain endangered resources of regional or statewide importance. These programs, moreover, are intended to compliment local and regional comprehensive planning processes. Most of the special study areas include some urban waterfront. Those areas are shown in a series of maps at the end of this appendix. The Department of Community Affairs (DCA) is also involved in reviewing proposed development, including waterfront uses, pursuant to Chapter 380, Florida Statutes. Developments affecting more than one county are designated as DRI's if they meet certain standards. DCA staff reviews such development in conjunction with staff members of the appropriate regional planning council to ensure consideration of sensitive environmental resources as well as infrastructure needs. A growing number of waterfront developments reviewed under this program combine condominimums with marinas. A DNR-proposed marina siting program, developed with OCRM funding, relies strongly on coordination between all government agencies involved in reviewing proposed marinas. Coordination of marina siting is now a recognized function of the Inter-agency Management Committee (IMC). Increasing pressures to develop docking facilities have necessitated the designation of 4 sites which are suitable for such facilities as well as inappro- priate locations. DNR has requested the IMC to review DNR's proposal for "Marina Areas of significance to the State" on an annual basis, and recommend such sites to the Governor and Cabinet for consideration when reviewing marina lease requests. Wildlife Protection Wildlife species native to Florida's coastal and inland water- front areas are under severe pressure from land development. Such species range from the endangered West Indian manatee to the Key Largo woodrat. Several agencies are responsible for regulating destruction of sensitive habitats. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, pursuant to the Endangered Species Act, is involved in the joint federal-state dredge and fill permitting process. In order to provide a basis for assessing developmental impacts on wildlife, the agency has identified critical habitats of particular species, notably the manatee. The FWS also submits comments to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and often recommends ways in which development practices can be altered to minimize any adverse impacts. At the state level the DNR's Division of Marine Resources and Law Enforcement is responsible for protection of marine wildlife. The agency's Manatee Coordinator reviews proposals to develop state- owned submerged lands in terms of manatee habitat and provides comments to the Division of State Lands. In designated Manatee Sanctuaries,-activities such as swimming, diving and fishing may be 5 prohibited. in less densely populated habitats, four types of slow speed zones are enforced by the Florida Marine Patrol Pursuant to Section 370.12, F.S. Chapter 370 further authorizes DNR to regulate shellfish harvesting, closing shellfisheries when public health threats occur. DNR also administers a program which studies and helps maintain the population of sea turtles which nest along many Florida beaches. The Game and Freshwater Fish Commission, the lead state wildlife agency, pursuant to Chapter 372, F.S., administers several programs related to waterfront wildlife, including management of critical wildlife nesting areas such as spoil banks and barrier islands. The Commission staff also identifies and protects wading bird popula- tions, and manages 64 wildlife management areas, many of which are in coastal or inland waterfront areas, bordering major wetlands, rivers, and the Gulf of Mexico, as shown in the map of state and national outdoor recreation areas. The agency is also involved in an extensive program of fisheries management. In addition to the above agencies, DER must now consider the impacts of proposed dredge and fill projects on wildlife, as part of its responsibilities under the 1984 Wetlands Protection Act, which revised Chapter 403, F.S. 6 RESOURCE PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT AND CRITICAL AREAS APPENDIX F THE FLORIDA KEYS AREA OF ATE CONCERN CRITICAL ST Homestead 3. i 2. 40 P % LANDS INCLUDED WITHIN % THE AREA OF CRITICAL STATE CONCERN (10 BIG % PINE KEY % Islamorodo % N s .....
