MODERATE

This bill was revised to clarify that charter schools are considered public facilities for concurrency purposes, expanded the ability of developers to receive credits for contributions to schools, and added protections against local restrictions on charter school facilities and vehicle stacking during school hours.

Scope change

The bill's scope was expanded to explicitly include charter schools as public facilities for concurrency requirements and to clarify the application of impact fee credits to charter schools.

DEFINITION

Charter schools are now explicitly defined as public facilities for concurrency purposes under s. 163.3180.

ELIGIBILITY

Developers can now receive dollar-for-dollar credits for contributions to charter schools when paying education impact fees, with the benefiting school required to be within a 3-mile radius.

REQUIREMENT

New subsection added to impact fee provisions requiring that credits be applied at fair market value and prohibiting credits if no impact fee is charged for the contributed facilities.

New provisions prohibit local governments from requiring charter schools to obtain certain exemptions or approvals under land development codes for allowable uses.

Building requirements for charter schools were revised to clarify that startup schools must comply with Florida Building Code while conversion schools must comply with State Requirements for Educational Facilities.

ENFORCEMENT

Local authorities are prohibited from enforcing vehicle stacking ordinances that would limit enrollment during school hours.
