FRIENDS OF THE EVERGLADES, INC., A NON-PROFIT FLORIDA CORPORATION AND THE IZAAK WALTON LEAGUE, A NON-PROFIT FLORIDA CORPORATION, APPELLANTS,
v.
SOUTH FLORIDA REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL AND CITY NATIONAL BANK OF MIAMI, APPELLEES
PER CURIAM.
Because information-gathering activities of staff for the South Florida Regional Planning Council neither involved the entry of a rule or order nor determined substantial interests or otherwise precluded a point of entry, into the agency’s decision-making process, there was no reviewable “agency action” under Section 120.52(2) and (10), Florida Statutes (1983) and Florida Administrative Code Rule 28-5.111. Appellant’s premature petition for a formal hearing, pursuant to Section 120.57(1), to review staff information-gathering and sufficiency notification activities which allegedly precluded public participation in the development of regional impact review process, was properly denied.
Affirmed.
