RFQ# 16-12-01 | Professional Planning and Zoning Consulting ServicesSunny Isles Beach DCA and cited in the University of Florida publication Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Energy Conservation: Development Impacts Under Florida HB 697. The re-port specifically notes strategies included in the new comprehensive plan for Loxahatchee Groves such as requiring land use changes to be reviewed based upon energy efficiency and discouragement of sprawl, de-velopment to be “transit-ready” along major routes, and maintaining agriculture to reduce heat island ef-fects. UF noted the CGA-authored amendments to the Medley Comprehensive Plan, prepared through Eval-uation and Appraisal Report (EAR)-based Compre-hensive Plan Amendments, included strategies such as alternate energy production as an allowed use in Industrial land uses and requiring energy efficiency in new buildings. Noted Weston policies include de-veloping review criteria for placement of photovoltaic cells, and maintaining and improving the City’s exten-sive bikeway network with access to significant com-mercial, employment, and recreational centers. Support for Lawsuit against SB360 and Under- standing Local Government Concerns: CGA plan-ners and transportation engineers provided technical support to the City of Weston which led the legal chal-lenge to SB360 in 2009. The City of Weston, along with 19 other communities asserted that the bill (SB360) would have a detrimental impact on local govern-ments, forcing "unfunded mandates" to build the in-frastructure needed to support growth. CGA Senior Vice President, Shelley Eichner, AICP, provided a key affidavit in the finding that SB360 was an unfunded mandate.
