The Policy Plan Committee concluded
that the problem facing the Region is not a process
problem. The State of Florida has one of the best
growth management processes in the country. The
problem facing the Region is a planning problem.
The TCRPC did not want to simply rewrite their
plan like other regional planning councils. The
TCRPC wanted to get at the root cause of the problems
facing the Region-inefficient patterns of development.
The TCRPC adopted the Strategic
Regional Policy Plan in 1995. It illustrates
the differences and the costs between different
types of development. |
