Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 29L-7.001 - Purpose
(1) In recognition of the regional planning
councils' role in facilitating intergovernmental problem solving, a voluntary
regional dispute resolution process (RDRP) is hereby established to reconcile
differences on planning, growth management and other issues among local
governments, regional agencies and private interests. The process consists of
four optional steps prior to commencing litigation or administrative
proceedings:
(1) situation
assessment, (2) settlement meetings, (3) mediation or (4) advisory
decision-making.
(2) The intent of
the RDRP is to provide a flexible process to reconcile differences on planning
and growth management issues that will: clearly identify and resolve problems
as early as possible; utilize the procedures in a low-to-high cost sequence;
allow flexibility in the use of the procedures; provide for the appropriate
involvement of affected and responsible parties; and provide as much process
certainty as possible.
(3) Use of
this process shall not waive a party's right to judicial or administrative
action, nor any requirements of Chapter 164, F.S.
(4) The RDRP may be used to resolve disputes
involving extrajurisdictional impacts as provided for in the intergovernmental
coordination elements of local comprehensive plans as may be required by
Section 163.3177, F.S.; port master plan
and local comprehensive plan consistency as may be required by Section
163.3178, F.S.; the siting of
community residential homes as may be required by Section
419.001(5),
F.S., or other statutes which reference this process.
(5) Participation in the RDRP as a named
party or in any other way does not convey or limit intervenor status or
standing in any judicial or administrative proceedings.
