I understand the House of Representatives and the Senate aze considering legislation which, from the Town's perspective, would remove a safs�uard which current benefits the Town. As the Town understands the above-referenced Iegislation, iarge scale developmen# projects known as Develapments of Regianal Impact (URI} could be exempted from the statutory review process wlv.ch has been in place since 1972. As you know, a DRI, 6y definition is a project that is expected ta impact more than one county. See Fla. Stat. Sectio� 380.06(1): Given that definitio�t, it is reasona.ble to assume that a proposed DRI would create impacts upan the municipalities wluch are within the cvunty where the DRI is lacated. Of cancern is that the legislation would allow countias to unilaterally exempt those projects which meet th.e threshold ta be a DRI from the existing regional and state re�iew processes which have traditionally . � provided mwucipaiities and adjacent counties with a significant oppartunity for intexgovernmental eoorriination, and, more importantly coapera.tion. If tlus legislation remains unchanged, a cvunty may determine that a DRI which may have impacts on those local governments who participate in the Regional Pianning Couneils of the state, and yet the DRI would not be subject ta Regional Planning Cawncil review. Instead, the DRT would only be subject to a review by the s#ate ag�ncy formerl� icnown as the Sta.te Planning Agency.
