The Division of State Planning (DSP) was created in 1972 under the Florida State Comprehensive Planning Act (Chapter 72-295, Laws) and Governor's Executive Orders 73-73 and 74-33. The DSP prepared and revised the state's comprehensive plan regularly; assisted in preparing the annual executive budget and legislative program of the Governor; coordinated planning at the federal, state, and local government levels and between Florida and other states; and served as the state planning and development clearinghouse. The DSP was organized into the Bureaus of Comprehensive Planning, Intergovernmental Relations, Criminal Justice Planning and Assistance, and Highway Safety. In 1979, it's responsibilities transferred to the Governor's Office (Chapter 79-190, Laws).
As a part of the Division of Planning, the Bureau of Comprehensive Planning was responsible for preparing and implementing the State Comprehensive Plan, participating in special legislative studies and issue analysis activities, reviewing process activities such as local government comprehensive plans and ten-year site plans of state electric utilities; and coordinating planning activities among federal, state, regional, and local agencies as well as between Florida and other states.
The Bureau is currently located in the Department of Economic Opportunity, Division of Community Development, where it regularly assists local governments with land use planning issues, including planning for economic development.
