SECRETARY
The Department of Economic Opportunity ("Department") has reviewed the proposed
comprehensive plan amendment for the City of Sebastian (Amendment No. 21-02ESR) received on
December 16, 2021. The review was completed under the expedited state review process. We have no
comment on the proposed amendment.
The City should act by choosing to adopt, adopt with changes, or not adopt the proposed
amendment. For your assistance, we have enclosed the procedures for adoption and transmittal of the
comprehensive plan amendment. In addition, the City is reminded that:
• Section 163.3184(3)(b), F.S., authorizes other reviewing agencies to provide comments directly
to the City. If the City receives reviewing agency comments and they are not resolved, these
comments could form the basis for a challenge to the amendment after adoption.
• The second public hearing, which shall be a hearing on whether to adopt one or more
comprehensive plan amendments, must be held within 180 days of your receipt of agency
comments or the amendment shall be deemed withdrawn unless extended by agreement with
notice to the Department and any affected party that provided comment on the amendment
pursuant to Section 163.3184(3)(c)1., F.S.
• The adopted amendment must be rendered to the Department. Under Section
163.3184(3)(c)2. and 4., F.S., the amendment effective date is 31 days after the Department
notifies the City that the amendment package is complete or, if challenged, until it is found to be
in compliance by the Department or the Administration Commission.
