Ut lltles iriy'laFil;e Rfsk dig;. Other The 1993 Legislature, through its adoption of Chapter 93-206, Laws of Florida, amended many of Florida's growth management laws and programs. The Legislature's action was in response to the findings and recommendations of the Environmental Land Management Study Committee (ELMS), set forth in the Committee's Final Report entitled Building Successful Communities, published in December 1992. The Legislature directed the Executive Office of the Governor to develop the Growth Management Portion of the State Comprehensive Plan in coordination with the Legislature, appropriate state agencies, regional entities, local governments, and citizens. In response to this directive, Governor Chiles created by Executive Order, the Growth Management Plan Advisory Committee. The purpose of the Advisory Committee is to advise and assist the Governor's Office in the development of the proposed plan. The purpose of the Growth Management Portion of the State Comprehensive Plan is to establish clear, concise and direct goals, objectives and policies related to land development, water resources, transportation and other related topics. The plan is intended to provide strategic guidance for state, regional and local actions necessary to implement the goals and policies of the State Comprehensive Plan. Over the past few months, the Advisory Committee has considered the legislative mandates associated with this plan and has developed a preliminary draft. Before the Committee proceeds with its work, it is important to hear from the public regarding the Growth Management Portion of the State Comprehensive Plan. Governor Chiles and Lieutenant Governor MacKay strongly believe that solutions to Florida's growth management problems lie beyond Tallahassee. Your involvement and participation in developing this plan is essential. W
