BACKGROUND Historical Many communities have for a long time recognized the potential of a good urban planning and development program. These communities embarked upon such a program often times in the absence of a state mandate or statutory requirement for such a program. A full history of planning for either the City or State is not intended here. However, there are several important legislations enacted by the State that have shaped and altered the practice of planning in Florida, and subsequently for the City of Casselberry_ In 1975 the State required that local governments adopt comprehensive plans. Many of these plans were very rudimentary and often only considered when expedient. They were sometimes ignored altogether. While the intent was that local government actions relative to land use decisions be consistent with the plan, this did not always occur. In 1985 the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act was passed. This legislation formed framework for what we typically think of as a Comprehensive Plan document. In 2011 the Community Planning Act (CPA) implemented wide -sweeping changes to the comprehensive planning process, providing more discretion to local governments in the implementation of their comprehensive planning process, under the guidance of the Flodda Department of Economic Opportunity (formerly known as the Department of Community Affairs or DCA). The primary goal of the CPA was to continue to ensure that local governments planned for future growth, but offers more latitude in how this is accomplished, including the elimination of state -mandated concurrency for transportation, schools and parks. Req u[atory Framework Federal. The Constitution of the United States (Article 6, Clause 2)provides that the federal constitution, statutes and treaties shall be supreme. The Constitution is the most basic legal source of power in the United States. The Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1804, provides that: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
