WHEREAS, the State of Florida is experiencing tremendous growth; and

WHEREAS, the challenges presented by growth require that local governments embrace smart growth policies aimed at protecting our State's quality of life, engendering greater economic prosperity, and equitably planning for the common good; and

WHEREAS, smart growth requires careful planning and direction combined with a clear and effective means of engaging the people's voice; and

WHEREAS, the understands that elected leaders must always empower citizens and never abandon government's primary responsibility for creating sound public policy; and

WHEREAS, the Amendment 4 initiative seeks to place a constitutional amendment before Florida's voters to amend Article II, Section 7, of the Florida Constitution, (Title: REFERENDA REQUIRED FOR ADOPTION OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLANS); and

WHEREAS, this amendment constitutes a fundamental abandonment of government's responsibility to represent all its citizens; and

WHEREAS, this amendment will further disenfranchise millions of Florida's already-fatigued electorate, paralyze local governments and potentially cripple vital public services including crime prevention, transportation improvement and public education; and

WHEREAS, this amendment poses a grave threat to Florida's unique quality of life.

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE _________ THAT:

Section 1. The meeting in , Florida on 2010, having dedicated its own policies to advancing smarter growth recommends defeat of the Amendment 4 initiative and the proposed amendment to the Florida Constitution.

Section 2. The urges citizens to vote "NO" on the proposed Amendment 4 amendment if it appears on the general election ballot.

Frequently Asked Questions

WHY HAVE THE LICENSE AND ID REQUIREMENTS CHANGED?

Florida has passed laws that will help better protect our citizens and visitors by strengthening our ability to verify an applicant's identify and legal presence in the United States. The changes will help increase our over-all security.

WILL MY CURRENT LICENSE/ID CARD BE VALID AFTER JANUARY 1, 2010?

Yes, if you were born December 1, 1964 or before your license/ID card will be valid until December 1, 2017 or until expiration. If you were born after December 1, 1964 your license/ID will be valid until December 1, 2014 or until expiration.

CAN I STILL GET BOTH A DRIVER'S LICENSE AND AN IDENTIFICATION CARD?

Sorry, no. You have to choose which one you'd like to have. Your license acts as an identification card, so it is not necessary to have both.

I LOST MY LICENSE/ID CARD. WILL I HAVE TO GET ONE OF THESE NEW LICENSES/ID?

Not necessarily. You can request a replacement license at www.gorenew.com. If you do need to come into the office to request a replacement, then you must bring the required documents as described on Gather, Go, Get website. You will be issued the new license.

I ONLY HAVE COPIES OF MY DOCUMENTS, NOT ORIGINALS. WHAT SHOULD I DO? You will need to request original documentation. For example, a replacement social security card is free, while a copy of a Florida birth certificate is $9.00. If you need help determining how to get re-placement documents, visit the Gather, Go, Get web-site and click on "Document Help." If you are unable to get a replacement, you can request an exception. I will take your information, forward it to my office manager, and within 48 hours we should know if your request was granted.

MY LAST NAME IS DIFFERENT THAN MY PRIMARY IDENTIFICATION. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

We need to see proof of your name change. If your name has changed due to marriage or a court order, you must submit the original or a certified copy of your marriage certificate(s) or court order(s). If your name has changed multiple times, you must present a document trail that links your current name to your chosen proof of identify. For example, let's say the last name on your birth certificate is Brown. You got married and your name changed to Smith. You got divorced, remarried, and your name changed to Johnson. You must provide a marriage certificate showing your name change from Brown to Smith and you must also show a marriage certificate of your name change from Smith to Johnson. If you are a non-U.S. citizen, your name change must already be reflected in your primary identification.

The Gather, Go, Get website can provide you with more information.

Policy 1.1.6 The County's land development regulations shall be based on and be consistent with the following land use classifications and corresponding standards for densities and intensities within the designated urban development areas ofthe County. For the purpose ofthis policy and Comprehensive Plan, the phrase "other similar uses compatible with" shall mean land uses that can co-exist in relative proximity to other uses in a stable fashion over time such that no other uses within the same land use classification are negatively impacted directly or indirectly by the use.

Lands classified as public consist of public buildings and grounds and other public facilities, (including sewer facilities, solid waste facilities, drainage facilities and potable water facilities), public health facilities, and educational uses; and

Public uses shall be limited to an intensity of .25 floor area ratio;

Lands classified as conservation use are lands devoted to the conservation of the unique natural functions within these lands; and

Conservation uses shall include public access, silviculture activities conducted in accordance with the silviculture policy contained within the Conservation Element of this Comprehensive Plan and residential uses necessary to manage such conservation lands (i.e. ranger stations, research stations and park amenities).

Environmentally Sensitive Areas, which are lands within the areas of the I00-year flood, as designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Flood Insurance Rate Map, dated January 6, 1988, and located in the Santa Fe River Corridor, Suwannee River Corridor, Olustee Creek Corridor and Ichetucknee Trace, shall conform with the following density:

Environmentally Sensitive Areas :::; I d.u. per IO acres

Lands classified as Environmentally Sensitive Areas may be used for agriculture, except intensive agriculture (the term intensive agriculture means those agricultural uses requiring an industrial waste permit from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection), silviculture conducted in accordance with the silviculture policy contained within the Conservation Element of this Comprehensive Plan and dwelling units. In addition, home occupations, resource-based activities, such as campgrounds of less than I00 campsites, and other similar uses compatible with Environmentally Sensitive Areas may be approved as special exceptions, provided that such campgrounds within Environmentally Sensitive Areas shall not be located within 5 miles ofanother campground located within an Environmentally Sensitive Area and not more than 20 percent of the natural vegetation on each campsite within such campgrounds shall be removed.

The County shall refer any applicant requiring County permits for agricultural uses or structures within Environmentally Sensitive Areas which may require the issuance of an industrial waste permit by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for a determination whether an industrial waste permit is required for such agricultural uses or structures prior to issuance of such

Page 2 of 12

County permits;

Further, provided that within the Environmentally Sensitive Areas dwelling units may be clustered on smaller lots with no lot being less than 5 acres, if the site is developed as a Planned Residential Development and a density of 1 dwelling unit per 10 acres is maintained on site, as follows:

1. The development shall maintain 50 percent of the total land area as an undeveloped area;

2. The development shall be compact and contiguous and shall not be scattered throughout the development parcel. Building lots shall be located on the highest elevations on the site;

3. The development shall provide a minimum of a 200 foot buffer from adjacent properties, 75 foot undisturbed buffer from a perennial river, stream or creek and a minimum 50 foot setback from a lake, pond or wetland. This buffer may be a portion of the required undeveloped area;

4. The developed area shall be configured in such a manner as to permit continued agriculture and/or silviculture uses of the undeveloped area;

5. The developed area of the development shall be located outside of (1) wetlands; (2) floodplains; (3) native upland vegetation; and (4) active agricultural areas, unless the entire development site consists of any or a combination of such areas. If the entire development site consists of any or a combination of such areas, the developed area shall be located in the least sensitive of such areas. Least sensitive areas shall be determined according to the order of priority of the above listing of such areas from most sensitive to least sensitive. In addition, ifany developed area is located within any such sensitive areas, the development of such area shall be in accordance with the floodplain and wetlands policies contained within the Conservation Element of this Comprehensive Plan; and

6. All internal roads shall be so located in order to minimize the number of access points to external roadways.

Lands classified as recreation use consist of areas used for user-based and resource-based recreation uses. Recreation uses shall be limited to user-based and resource-based recreation uses, public access and residential and non-residential uses necessary to manage such recreation uses.

For the purpose of this policy and Comprehensive Plan, the phrase "other similar uses compatible with" shall mean land uses that can co-exist in relative proximity to other uses in a stable fashion over time such that no other uses within the same land use classification are negatively impacted directly or indirectly by the use.

Agriculturally classified lands are lands, which are predominantly used for crop cultivation, livestock, specialty farms, silviculture activities conducted in accordance with the silviculture policy contained within the Conservation Element of the Comprehensive Plan, and dwelling units.

In addition, the processing, storage and sale of agricultural products and commodities which are not raised on the premises, livestock auction arenas, livestock and poultry slaughterhouses, sawmills, planing mills and other wood processing plants, agricultural equipment and related machinery sales, agricultural feed and grain packaging, blending, storage, and sales, agricultural fertilizer storage and sales, agricultural fairs and fairground activities, recreational activities such as racetracks, speedways, golf courses, country clubs, tennis and racquet clubs, golf and archery ranges, rifle, shotgun and pistol ranges, travel trailer parks or campgrounds (including day camps), and hunting or fishing camps, riding or boarding stables, drive-in theaters, commercial kennels, veterinary clinics and animal shelters, cemeteries and crematories, airplane landing fields, small engine repair (not to exceed 2,000 square feet), automotive repair (not to exceed 2,500 square feet) welding shop (not to exceed 2,500 square feet), home occupations, off site signs, bottled water plants, private clubs and lodges, flea markets; explosives (manufacturing or storage); biomedical waste storage or treatment facilities; intensive agriculture ( only if located outside of a high groundwater aquifer recharge area as shown on Illustration A-XI) and other similar uses compatible with agriculture uses may be approved as special exceptions and be subject to an intensity of .25 floor area ratio.

The term intensive agriculture means those agricultural uses requiring an industrial waste permit from the Florida Department ofEnvironmental Protection.

Upon adoption of this policy, no new intensive agricultural uses as defined above shall be conducted on any lands agriculturally classified without first obtaining a special exception for such activities. The County shall refer any applicant requiring County permits for agricultural uses or structures, which may require the issuance of an industrial waste permit by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for a determination whether an industrial waste permit is required for such agricultural uses or structures prior to issuance of such County permits.

The following findings shall be made prior to granting such special exception.

1. That no part of the activity is to be conducted in areas of high groundwater aquifer recharge as shown on Illustration A-XI of this Comprehensive Plan;

2. That if a wastewater management system is required by any appropriate regulatory agency, the wastewater management system will be designed by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service or will be the equivalent of a system designed by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service by a licensed professional engineer;

Page 6 of 12

3. That the facility will use available best management practices to reduce flies and other insects;
