14. The protests were referred to the Division of Administrative Hearings

12("DOAH"). The case was assigned to Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ") Hetal

27Desai and a hearing was scheduled for May 21, 2018.

375. Prior to hearing, Florida Housing filed a Motion to Dismiss Petitioner

49Ocean Breeze. Ocean Breeze filed a response to the motion.

596. In its motion to dismiss, Florida Housing argued that Ocean Breeze's

71petition failed to comply with Rule 28-106.201, Fla. Admin. Code, in that the

84petition does not allege any disputed issues of fact, does not allege that Florida

98Housing's proposed action should be reversed or modified, and does not state what

111relief is sought. Ocean Breeze filed its petition for the sole purpose of preserving its

126right to "raise issues concerning the eligibility of other Applications which

137responded to the RF A and may challenge the Ocean Breeze Application."

1497. In its response, Ocean Breeze agreed that its petition does not allege

162any disputed issues of fact, does not allege that Florida Housing's proposed action

175should be reversed or modified, and was filed for the purpose of preserving its right

190to raise issues against other challengers.

1968. In the Motion to Dismiss and the response, Florida Housing and Ocean

209Breeze raised the question of whether a specifically named party has the right to

223challenge deficiencies in the challenger's own application or whether a specifically

234Page 2 of 4

238named party is subject to the general restriction that an intervenor must take the case

253as it finds it.

2579. On May 17, 2018, the ALJ issued an Severing Cases and

269Relinquishing Jurisdiction Over Case 18-2131BID (the "Order"), attached as

279Exhibit "A". In her Order, ALJ Desai found that Ocean Breeze, as a specifically

294named party whose substantial interests are being determined in the proceeding, "can

306raise any issue that could be raised by a party, including eligibility and

319responsiveness issues against [Petitioners']." Pursuant to Section 120.52(13), Fla.

328Stat., Ocean Breeze had standing as a party in the challenges initiated by HTG Heron

343and Channel Side.

34610. ALJ Desai severed the Ocean Breeze protest from the HTG Heron and

359Channel Side protests and relinquished jurisdiction back to Florida Housing to enter

371a final order of dismissal.

37611. Ocean Breeze has no objection to the dismissal of its petition.

38812. F ' lorida Housing adopts and incorporates the attached Order as if it were

403fully set forth here.

407IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED: The Petition ts DISMISSED with

416prejudice.
