Comprehensive Plan Intergovernmental Coordination Element <br />° Areas of Critical State Concern <br />The Areas of Critical State Concern program is administered by the Division of Resource Planning <br />and Management in the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA). Within the Division, the <br />administering unit is the Bureau of Land and Water Management. Once a geographical area has <br />been designated as an Area of Critical State Concern, the local government having jurisdiction then <br />assumes the responsibility for promulgating and enforcing regulations to implement the intent of the <br />critical area designation. The Bureau of Land and Water Management does, however, review the <br />local government's implementation of the critical area regulations. <br />Although there are no areas of critical state concern within the county, the barrier island is included <br />in the Hutchinson Island Resource Management area. As such, the county coordinates with DCA on <br />the continued implementation of the Hutchinson Island Resource Management Plan. <br />° Development of Regional Impact <br />State government's management of the Development of Regional Impact (DRI) process is the <br />responsibility of the Division of Resource Planning and Management in the Department of <br />Community Affairs. Local governments, regional planning councils, and the developer also have <br />major roles in the DRI process. <br />° Permitting and Project Review Programs <br />Matrix A is designed to identify the permitting or review programs which could apply to any specific <br />land development activity. The left column lists types of development activities, while the top row <br />of the matrix lists permitting and project review programs at the state level. If a specific <br />development activity requires a permit or agency review, the appropriate box is marked with an <br />abbreviation of the agency responsible for regulating that activity. <br />Therefore, if a box is marked with an agency name, it does not necessarily mean that a permit is <br />required, only that one may be required. Because of space limitation, thresholds or regulatory <br />requirements are not reflected in the matrix; neither are programs run by agencies with secondary <br />involvement in permitting or reviewing (the Department of State and the Game and Fresh Water Fish <br />Commission are examples of such agencies). <br />Regional Agencies <br />The responsibilities of the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council, The Quad -county Council of <br />Governments, and the Marine Resources Council, all of which have an important regional effect, are <br />summarized below: <br />Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council <br />Community Development Department Indian River County 14 <br />
