The Department is proposing amendments to Chapter 62B-33, F.A.C., Rules and Procedures for Coastal Construction and Excavation (Permits for Construction Seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line and Fifty-Foot Setback), authorized by Sections 161.053 and 161.052, F.S., respectively. The proposed amendments will clarify and update existing rule language, delete obsolete definitions, revise the definition for “armoring”, “coastal system”, “construction debris”, “Department”, add definitions for “native vegetation”, “registered professional”, and “reissued permit”. The revisions provide additional exemptions from permitting for certain minor activities, delete obsolete references to the Florida Building Code, establish criteria for fill material, provide more specific criteria for siting of both major and minor structures (including those where armoring exists), establish criteria for rebuilt pipelines and ocean outfalls crossing the beach, clarify requirements for geotechnical data and other information required in the application process, delete the requirement to submit multiple copies of certain documents to the Department, simplify fee calculations, eliminate the permit fee for exemption determinations and permit transfers, reduce the permit fee for reissued permits, provide for electronic submission of applications and related documents, provide success criteria for site re-vegetation, eliminate a requirement for construction progress reports, and clarify the methodology used to establish the 30-year erosion projection line.
