FL S1122

Redesignates the "Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act" as the "Community Planning Act" and revises its purpose to focus state role on protecting important state resources while strengthening local government authority over planning.

Prohibits initiative or referendum processes for development orders and comprehensive plan amendments, and prohibits local governments from requiring super majority votes on plan amendments.

Creates rural land stewardship areas allowing local governments to designate agricultural lands with overlay zoning and transferable rural land use credits to encourage conservation while enabling economic development.

Eliminates regional planning agency requirements to prepare comprehensive plans when local governments fail to do so, and removes various plan amendment frequency limitations while restricting state agency oversight in certain urban areas.

Makes the expedited review process for comprehensive plan amendments applicable statewide (rather than as a pilot program) and expands DRI exemptions for transit-oriented development, dense urban areas, and detailed specific area plans under sector plans.
