Comprehensive Plan Intergovernmental Coordination Element Statutory and Rule Changes Since 1990 Consistent with legislation passed in 1993, all local governments in the state were scheduled to revise their intergovernmental coordination elements (ICE) in 1996-97. Subsequent to passage of the 1993 legislation, a new ICE rule was developed and incorporated into Section 9J-5 of the Florida Administrative Code. According to the adopted rule, each local government's new intergovernmental coordination element would have to: • Identify all regional and state resources and facilities identified in the state comprehensive plan and regional policy plan for the jurisdiction and surrounding jurisdictions. • Identify local resources and facilities, and community characteristics which could impact development outside of the jurisdiction. • Identify resources and facilities outside of the jurisdiction which could be impacted by development within the jurisdiction. • Define "significant impact" on each resource, facility and community characteristic. Identify what type of development or development permits will cause "significant impact". The significant impact may be quantitative, locational and/or qualitative. • Describe "mitigation criteria and standards" for each resource, facility, and community characteristic within the jurisdiction. • In coordination with other jurisdictions, develop an intergovernmental coordination review process to determine if a project has significant extra -local impacts, and identify how to mitigate such impacts. • In coordination with other jurisdictions, develop a joint resolution which certifies compatibility between local governments' intergovernmental coordination elements. • Incorporate the regional planning council dispute resolution process within the intergovernmental coordination element. • Include other specific requirements Subsequent to adoption of the new rules, there was a substantial amount of debate about the new ICE provisions and the proposed termination of the Development of Regional Impact (DRI) process. For that reason, the 1995 Florida legislature postponed the ICE adoption schedule and called for the establishment of an ICE Technical Review Committee which was to report to the 1996 legislature with recommendations for proposed rule and statutory changes.
