12.0 Intergovernmental Coordination Element

Transcription

1 12.0 PURPOSE The purpose of this element is to identify and resolve incompatible goals, objectives, policies and development proposed in campus master plans and to determine and respond to the need for coordination with adjacent local governments, and regional and state agencies. Intergovernmental coordination shall be utilized to the extent required to carry out the provisions of this guideline. (1) DATA REQUIREMENTS. This element shall be based, at a minimum, on the following data. a) An inventory of all host and affected governments and other units of local government providing services but not having regulatory authority over the use of land, independent special districts, water management districts, regional planning councils, and state agencies with which the University coordinates or which provides services to the University. This inventory shall also include regional or state agencies with land use or environmental regulatory authority, and authorities, independent special districts, and utility companies, which provide services to the University. Table 12.1 provides an inventory of the agencies and regulatory authorities with whom Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU) interacts as it carries out its mission (The agency coordination described in Table 12.1 reflects the historical coordination mechanisms and not those required to meet the goals, objectives and policies of this Campus Master Plan Update). Additional agencies will be included as part of this update including the City of Crestview, Florida and Gadsden County, Florida.

9 (2) ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS. The element shall be based, at a minimum, on the following analyses: a) The effectiveness of existing coordination mechanisms described in (1) b), such as intergovernmental agreements, joint planning and service agreements, special legislation and joint meetings or work groups which are used to further intergovernmental coordination. FAMU and the City of Tallahassee, particularly the neighborhoods surrounding the campus, have quite literally grown up together. When the University was founded more than one hundred (100) years ago, it lay on the outskirts of Tallahassee. The growth at the University during the past century has mirrored the growth of the city itself. The density of campus development in the past decade reflects the University's current role as an urban campus at the transitional edge of Tallahassee's urban core. Due to its continued presence in its current location, FAMU has developed an extensive history of community involvement. This is particularly true of the residential and commercial areas surrounding the University and local government decisions affecting the entire area. While no formal agreements between city agencies and the University currently exist, a pattern of continuous dialogue between the University, neighborhood groups, local business leaders and public agencies responsible for business and economic development within the context area has been established. b) Specific problems and needs within each of the campus master plan elements which would benefit from improved or additional intergovernmental coordination and means for resolving those problems and needs. Through the comprehensive planning process, FAMU is moving towards a more formalized relationship with the many agencies historically involved in the campus development process. In addition, it is expanding the number of agencies with whom it routinely communicates during campus development. A review was made of all elements in the FAMU Comprehensive Master Plan (goals, objectives and policies). Table 12.4 shows the actions called for by the plan on the part of the University which will, in some manner, require new or expanded coordination with another government or significant private-sector agency/interest. Specifically, the table identifies policies requiring expansion of existing intergovernmental coordination mechanisms or establishment of new policies, describes internal coordinating actions the University should take to make intergovernmental coordination more effective, and names affected parties. All interagency coordination listed in Table 12.1 and not specifically identified in Table 12.4 is anticipated to continue unchanged as the University moves into adherence with the adopted Comprehensive Master Plan.

Both local and regional comprehensive plans were reviewed at several stages throughout development of this Campus Master Plan Update. The local government (City of Tallahassee/Leon County) Comprehensive Master Plans contains no specific recommendations which require action on the part of FAMU. However, several key policies in the local plans do invite and encourage involvement of the University in activities occurring in the context area. Examples of these are the upgrading of the Adams Street corridor, FAMU Way Extension, redevelopment of the St. Augustine area northwest of the campus, study of alternate mode corridors development between FAMU and FSU and between FAMU and the downtown/government center. Throughout the Master Plan, FAMU has included policies which provide for agreement or consistency between the local government and University comprehensive plans. For example, where the University states levels of service standards for such stormwater drainage or roadway operations, FAMU requires that its standards "not be in conflict with" City of Tallahassee standards for the same service. In other instances, the University accedes directly to local FAMU Master Plan Update November 2012
