The document discusses sector planning in Florida. Key points include: - Sector planning allows for long-term planning over large geographic areas of 15,000 acres or more and a planning period of 20-50 years. - The process includes adopting a long-term master plan and more detailed specific area plans. - Examples are provided of existing sector plans in Florida, including their size, projected population and development. - Reasons why some large landowners may be interested in sector planning include its long-term planning horizon and ability to continue agricultural uses in the short-term. However, the process also has challenges such as public scrutiny and potential impacts to farming operations.

- 25. Pent-up demand for large-area planning due to the sector plan pilot program’s 5-plan limit Landowners were expected to jump at the chance to do sector planning under new law Instead, they are slow out of starting blocks • Analyzing commitments they would have to make • No demand in real estate market • Some took advantage of conversion process 25

- 27. A plan can build long-term value in the land by coordinating land use, water, transportation A plan can create a legacy for good stewards with planned conservation areas and continued ranching and farming A plan can reinforce a family’s commitment to their land through changing generations A plan can be a good defense against unwanted land uses 27
- 28. Long, expensive and complicated process Lots of public scrutiny and perhaps criticism Potential complications for ranching and farming operations Heightens desires that others may have to control the owner’s land Potential questions concerning agricultural use classification for ad valorem taxes 28
- 29. They don’t have experience at modern land use regulation like developers They don’t want a long-term plan to interfere with ranching and farming They won’t provide mitigation since they won’t be the developer They don’t want to grant conservation easements early, without reciprocal benefit They are publicity shy 29

Notes de l'éditeur
- Have reviewed changes made last year to sector plan statuteWe worked extensively on that legislation prior to enactment in 2011Everyone expected large landowners would immediately begin sector plansGenerally that hasn’t happenedReasons include current economy as well as way landowners look at these issues
- Large landowners are interested in sector planning as a toolLandowners, regulators and environmentalists have wanted a flexible but principled large-area planning tool for years.Landowners wanted it as a way to make decisions about their land Sector planning fulfills this need from their perspective Planning tool that doesn’t require immediate mitigation or granting of conservation easements Intended for implementation over long term – 50 years Allows landowner to continue ranching and farming in interimMost important – it settles expectations for everyone
- One of the questions I frequently get when talking to landowners about a sector plan is:So what does this plan look like? There’s no single plan that can be used to answer that question. That’s one of the strengths of this planning tool – it is adaptableNot a one-size-fits-all planning tool. So let’s look briefly at two examples. Both of these plans were criticized and subject to citizen challenges before going into effect.Both illustrate common features of the best sector plans Have an economic driver that is important to the larger community2. Include long-term planning for transportation facilities needed at build-outHave important commitments to protect regionally significant resources long before developmentBased on mixed-use development patterns5. Prepared with extensive public involvement programs
- This is the map for the WBSP, perhaps best-know of sector plans from pilot programAdopted in 2002 by Bay County after several years of public involvement and active planningNote the generality of the map. It’s basically a vision for how uses will be arranged in the planning area of 75,000 acresLandowners are comfortable with this kind of approach because of its generality.
- Economic Driver for this plan was relocation of the Panama City airport inlandConstraints at old location impeded extension of runways for safety and better serviceNote the 50-year planning period Note also the resource protection and long-range transportation planning features in the plan On previous slide you saw the very general nature of the long-term master plan for the planning area. More detail in GOPs
- Here’s a more recent plan – Osceola County’s Northeast District Conceptual Master PlanActually not originally a sector plan, but converted last summer under new lawOsceola County took lead in planning NED as one of 9 Mixed-Use Districts that comprise Urban Expansion Area for the UGBLandowner, Deseret Ranches of Florida, also involvedResulted in plan with 6 maps and GOPs Maps much more detailed than WBSP
- Economic driver – proximity to Orlando’s new “Medical City” bio-technology complex. Also OIACounty wants to be more than bedroom community for OrlandoPlanning period was 2025 but build-out was projected at 2039 Smaller in size at 19,000 acres – and that was after settlement with DCA and agencies. Note that 70 percent of the land in the NED will not be developedExtensive transportation planning , both right of way reservations and longer-range planning for east-west corridors
- Includes multiple strategies to protect Econlockhatchee Swamp, headwaters of Econ River that flows north into St. JohnsConservation easement for all wetlands in Econ Swamp, the entire on-site swamp250-foot upland buffer to the west of the Econ Swamp
- So why hasn’t there been a surge of sector plans? Instead of concluding that there’s a lack of interest, better to see it as a go-slow approach Let’s landowners understand commitments they would have to make in a sector planDon’t under-estimate the sensitivity of that among farmers and ranchers who aren’t used to land use regulatory process.We’re in a down economy, so there’s no real estate market promising any returns at all Some large landowners converted their previous plans into sector plans under the 2011 law (Osceola NED, East Nassau, Rodina plus BHR approved for conversion)
- So who is considering sector plans as an opportunity? Landowners, not developers. Developers are still not in the game Landowners tend to be families or institutional owners, not publicly traded companies. (Plum Creek exception)Owners who hold their land for many years and have a strong stewardship ethic. Families concerned about generational issues – older generation wants to find a way to keep younger generation tied to the land.
- Some important advantages for landowners Plan can build value into the land even if only a small portion is planned for eventual urban development. New law creates linkages to WMD regional water supply plans and MPO long-range transportation plans. Plan can create legacy for good stewards. Even if they don’t want to immediately grant conservation easements, identifying areas that would be preserved eventually is a big step. (Some large-area plans begin land protection without easements – tighter restrictions on use in AG and NR areas of BHR)Plan can reinforce families commitment to the land. Also a good defense against unwanted land uses. Unplanned land is like a magnet that attracts all the things nobody else wants – landfills, transmission lines, etc. A good plan can make it harder to do that.
- Landowners also have to focus on disadvantages of a sector plan.Long and expensive – several years and costs can reach into 7 figures Lots of public scrutiny and landowners by and large usually want to be left alone to work their landCan be complications for farming and ranching from plan policies, even if those uses are protected in the interimPlanning is a welcome mat for regulators and environmental groups that have their own visions of what the owner should do with his or her land. Although a land use change is not supposed to affect a landowners agricultural use classification under Greenbelt Law, some aggressive PA may try to make it one.
- Finally, dealing with landowners can present some unusual challenges for those who are not used to it. They are not like land developers.Most developers have a working knowledge of land use regulatory process and are skilled at negotiating with regulatory agencies. Landowners usually are not. Agriculture has been exempted from land use and environmental protection programs. They don’t want a plan to interfere with their ranching and farming – or to limit their ability to adopt new business strategies that may still be agricultural but require more intensive use of land – from grazing to row crops or sod farming. They won’t provide any mitigation since they won’t be the developer.They won’t grant conservation easements since no reciprocal benefit to them. The benefit usually goes to the developer, who comes later.They are publicity shy and don’t want a lot of attention.
