Home Browse Search

INTRODUCTION The following objections. recommendations and comments are based upon the Department's review of the City of Casselberry's proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment (DCA 09 -I ER) pursuant to Section 163.3 ] 84, Florida Statutes (F.S.). Objections relate to specific requirements of relevant portions of Chapter 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code (F,A.C.), and Chapter 163, Part II, F.S. Each objection includes a recommendation of one approach that might be taken to address the cited objection. Other approaches may be more suitable in specific situations. Some of these objections may have been raised initially by one of the other extemaI review agencies. Ifthere should be a difference belween the Department's objection and an external agency's advisory objection or comment, the Department's objection will lake precedence. The City should address each of these objections when the amendment is resubmitted for our compliance review. Objections which are not addressed may result in a determination that the amendment is "not in compliance". The Department may have raised an objection regarding missing data and analyses. or other items which the City might consider not applicable to the amendment. If such is the case, a statement justifying its non-applicability pursuant to Rule 9J-5.002(2), F.A.C.. must be submitted. The Department will make a determination as to the non-applicability of the requirement. If the justification is sufficient, the objection will be considered to have been addressed. The comments which follow the objections and recommendations are advisory in nature. Comments will not form a basis for determination of non-compliance. They are included to call attention to items raised by our reviewers. The comments can be substantive, concerning planning principles, methodology or logic, as well as editorial in nature dealing with grammar, organization, mapping and reader comprehension. Appended to the back of the Department's report are the comment letters from the other state review agencies. These comments are advisory to the Department and may not lorm a basis for Departmental objections unless they appear under the "Objections" heading in this report.
