Comprehensive Plan Intergovernmental Coordination Element In addition, DCA solicits comments from other appropriate state, federal, regional (especially the regional planning councils and the water management districts), and local agencies and public interest groups. ° Areas of Critical State Concern The Area of Critical State Concern program is administered by the Division of Community Planning in the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA). Once a geographical area has been designated as an Area of Critical State Concern, the local government having jurisdiction of the area then assumes the responsibility for promulgating and enforcing regulations to implement the intent of the critical area designation. The Department of Community Affairs does, however, review the local government's implementation of the critical area regulations. Although there are no areas of critical state concern within the county, the barrier island is included in the Hutchinson Island Resource Management area. As such, the county coordinates with DCA on the continued implementation of the Hutchinson Island Resource Management Plan. ° Developments of Regional Impact The Development of Regional Impact (DRI) process is administered by the Division of Community Planning in the Department of Community Affairs. Local governments, regional planning councils, and developers also have major roles in the DRI process. ° Permitting and Project Review Programs Appendix A identifies the permitting or review programs which could apply to any specific land development activity. While the left column lists types of development activities, the top row of the table lists permitting and project review programs at the state level. If a specific development activity requires a permit or agency review, the appropriate box is marked with an abbreviation of the agency responsible for regulating that activity. If a box is marked with an agency name, it does not necessarily mean that a permit is required, only that one may be required. Because of space limitation, thresholds or regulatory requirements are not reflected in the table; neither are programs run by agencies with secondary involvement in permitting or reviewing (the Department of State and the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission are examples of such agencies). Regional Agencies The responsibilities of the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council and the Indian River Lagoon National Estuary Program are summarized below: Community Development Department Indian River County 19
