h. The consideration of School Board comments on comprehensive plan amendments and other land - use decisions. i. The availability of existing permanent school capacity or planned improvements to increase school capacity. 7.7 In formulating neighborhood plans and programs and reviewing large residential projects, the county and the cities will consider the following: a. Encouraging developers or property owners to provide incentives to the School Board for building schools in their neighborhoods. These incentives may include, but not be limited to, donation of site(s), reservation or sale of school sites at pre -development prices, construction of new school facilities or renovation to existing school facilities, and provision of transportation alternatives. b. Scheduling county and city programs and capital improvements that are consistent with and meet the capital needs identified in the School Board's school facilities plan. C. Providing school sites and facilities within planned neighborhoods. Section 8. Educational Facilities Report and Five -Year District Facilities Work Program 8.1 At least one year prior to preparation of the Educational Plant Survey update (as defined in Chapter 1013, Florida Statutes), the staff working group established in subsection 1.1 of this Agreement will assist the School Board in an advisory capacity in the preparation of the update. The staff working group at one of its two annual meetings will evaluate and make recommendations regarding the location and need for new, or improvements to existing, educational facilities in terms of consistency with the local government comprehensive plan, and relevant portions of this Agreement. 8.2 As described in Section 4.2 of this Agreement the School Board by November 1't of each year will provide the proposed annual update of the five-year district facilities work program to each local government for review and comment. Each local government shall review the report for consistency with its local comprehensive plan. The School Board will provide adequate notification to local governments after placing the work program on the agenda. All affected local governments shall provide timely written comments to the School Board within 60 days following receipt of the proposed work program. 8.3 Capacity Reporting: The School Board's five-year work program will identify how each project meets capacity issues. This work program will provide for expansions and new school facilities based upon projected population and student growth within areas of the county. When funding for capital expansion is not available, the school board will identify alternative solutions within the work program (eg. year round or split session schools sites) when necessary to meet the public school demand. Section 9. Co -location and Shared Use 9.1 Co -location and shared use of facilities are important to both the School Board and local governments. When preparing its Educational Plant Survey, the School Board will look for opportunities to co -locate and share use of school facilities and civic facilities. Likewise, co -location and shared use opportunities shall be considered by the local governments when updating their comprehensive plan's schedule of capital improvements and when planning and designing new, or renovating existing, community facilities. For example, opportunities for co -location and shared use will be considered for libraries, parks, recreation facilities, community centers, auditoriums, learning centers, museums, performing arts centers, and stadiums. In addition, co -location and shared use of school and governmental facilities for health care and social services will be considered where applicable. 9.2 For each instance of co -location and shared use, a separate Agreement, addressing legal liability, operating and maintenance costs, scheduling of use, facility supervision or any other issues that may arise from co - location, will be developed. 10
