AUTHORITY
The Buck Lake Alliance has unique authority to protect its member communities!
Since the 1980s, Florida’s growth management tool has been Comprehensive Planning. Comprehensive plans contain chapters or "elements" that address future land use, housing, transportation, infrastructure, coastal management, conservation, recreation and open space, intergovernmental coordination, and capital improvements. A key component of the Act is its "concurrency" provision that requires facilities and services to be available concurrent with the impacts of development.
Accordingly, the BLA has used the Leon County Comprehensive Plan as its foundational yardstick for measuring “responsible growth”. It defines Goals, Objectives and Policies, and provides guidance in evaluating individual development proposals within a defined growth management strategy.
In addition, the Buck Lake Alliance works to form strong, unified support for ensuring the common interests of its members' communities. Common interests are the protection of the environment, the protection of property values and the preservation of community character for invested communities.
