Notice of Intent
What are Notices of Intent (NOI) (Section 163.3184(7), F.S.)? After receipt of the Objection, Recommendations and Comments (ORC) report from the Florida Department of Community Affairs, a local government has 60 days to adopt, adopt with changes or decide not to adopt the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. For amendments related to Evaluation and Appraisal Reports, the local government has 120 days to adopt or adopt with changes. There is no time limit associated with the review of amendments related to Developments of Regional Impact If the adopted amendment is unchanged from the proposed amendment, and neither an affected person nor the Department raised any objections, the Department has 20 days after receipt to issue a Notice of Intent that the amendment is in compliance (Section 163.3184(8)(b), F.S.). In those circumstances when there is an objection to the amendment or the amendment changed during adoption, the Department has 45 days to publish a Notice of Intent with a determination that the adopted amendment is either "in compliance" or "not in compliance" with the Act. The Department posts the notices on-line on the date the notice is published in the local newspaper. The notice remains on the Department's website for 60 days. Notices of Intent are also required to be published for one day in the legal ad section of the local newspaper and on the local government's website, if applicable (Section 163.3184(8)(c)1., F.S.). Affected parties wishing to challenge a plan amendment must do so within 21 days of publication of the notice (Section 163.3184(9) and (10), F.S.). Please contact the Urban Design Division with any questions or concerns regarding the Notice of Intent at: City Hall |
