- Petitions and Dispositions Regarding Rule Variance or Waiver (4)
-
On February 23, 2020, the Agency received a petition for variance and/or waiver of subsection 65G-2.015(6), Florida Administrative Code (“Rule”), from Ornella Brasby on behalf of Hearts that Cares, Inc. (“Petitioner”). On March 10, 2020, the Agency published the notice of petition for variance and/or waiver in Vol. 46 No. 48 of the Florida Administrative Register. The Rule states in pertinent part, “licensure of any facility located within 1,000 feet of another facility can only occur if a variance is first granted by the appropriate local government unit in accordance with the provisions of section 419.001, F.S.” Section 419.001, Florida Statutes, provides in pertinent part, “Homes of six or fewer residents which otherwise meet the definition of a community residential home shall be allowed in single-family or multifamily zoning without approval by the local government, provided that such homes are not located within a radius of 1,000 feet of another existing such home with six or fewer residents or within a radius of 1,200 feet of another existing community residential home.” The City of Gainesville denied Petitioner’s request for a variance on or around February 21, 2020.
Because section 120.542(1), Fla. Stat., provides, “This section does not authorize agencies to grant variances or waivers to statutes. . .” and granting such a waiver would contravene the plain language of 419.001, Fla. Stat., the Agency denied this request for variance and/or waiver to the Rule in a Final Order dated April 16, 2020.

On April 15, 2020 the Division issued an order. The Final Order was in response to a Petition for a permanent Variance from Security Square Building, filed March 23, 2020, and advertised on March 30, 2020 in Vol. 46, No. 62, of the Florida Administrative Register. No comments were received in response to the petition. The Final Order on the Petition for Variance denies the Petitioner a variance from Rule 3.11.3, ASME A17.3, 1996 edition, as adopted by Rule 61C-5.001 Florida Administrative Code that requires upgrading the elevator with fire fighters service because the Petitioner has not demonstrated that the purpose of the underlying statute has been met and that Petitioner would suffer a substantial hardship if required to comply with this rule (VW 2020-030).

The Department proposes to create Chapter 62-331, F.A.C., to implement the State 404 Program by including requirements of federal law that are not already addressed in existing state regulations for dredge and fill permitting. The creation of this rule includes a State 404 Program Handbook as well as new forms to be incorporated by reference. The proposed rule creation also includes definitions, procedures for review and agency action on exemption requests, processes for Individual Permits, public notice requirements, procedures regarding mitigation banking, and procedures and descriptions for General Permits created to correspond to the federal Nationwide Permits as granted by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. This rule will have a delayed effective date. The effective date of the rule will be the effective date of assumption, which is the date identified by EPA as published in the Federal Register. Copies of the proposed rules, agendas, and previously recorded webinars are available online at: https://floridadep.gov/water/water/content/water-resource-management-rules-development#erp.; April 24, 2020, 9:00 am and April 27, 2020, 9:00 am. Additionally, the comment period is extended until midnight on April 30, 2020.; Telephone.

The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has proposed to amend Chapter 62-330, F.A.C., Environmental Resource Permitting. These amendments streamline and clarify language for regulated entities that would require a State 404 Program Permit after assumption of the State 404 Program. Amendments include incorporating updated version of water management district handbooks, revising incorporated forms to include a State 404 Program Permit section, incorporating a new form, and clarifying that applicants may waive Environmental Resource Permit timelines so that Agency actions can be issued concurrently. Amendments to Applicant’s Handbook Volume I include updating form titles, clarifying the process for the landward delineation of wetlands, adding unincorporated appendices for use when delineating the landward extent of wetlands, and providing for the use of state or local authorizations for construction activities in right of ways as evidence of real property interest.; April 24, 2020, 9:00 am and April 27, 2020, 9:00 am. Additionally, the comment period is extended until midnight on April 30, 2020. The COVID-19 response is a very dynamic situation. Due to these extenuating circumstances, and to allow maximum public participation, the Department is holding two additional public hearings, and extending the time to submit written comments on the proposed rules until midnight on April 30, 2020. Parties may attend the hearings by telephone by calling: 1-888-585-9008, and entering conference room number 427-093-427.
Parties who wish to submit pertinent evidence or materials prior to or following the hearings shall submit them, no later than midnight, April 30, 2020, as follows: by email to Heather.Mason@FloridaDEP.gov; during the conference call by speaking; or by mail to FDEP, attn: Heather Mason, 2600 Blair Stone Rd, Mail Station 2500, Tallahassee, FL 32399.
