The Florida Legislature also
charged regional planning councils with defining
how they wanted their regions to look. It limited
the regional plans to six elements: affordable
housing, economic development, education, emergency
preparedness, regional transportation, and natural
resources of regional significance. The TCRPC
took the Legislature's mandate one step further.
It created a vision for the Treasure Coast Region,
and all the goals and policies tie into the vision.
The Vision, or Future of the Region, section of
the Strategic Regional Policy Plan discusses
the settlement of the Region from the regional
level all the way down to the town, neighborhood,
and street. It explains a more efficient way of
settling the Region and illustrates its vision
with illustrations. It describes a holistic new
way of planning for future growth that would not
repeat the mistakes of the past.
