AI Summary

  • Amends the definition of "agricultural enclave" to include additional criteria: land surrounded on at least 90 percent of its perimeter by property designated for industrial, commercial, or residential development, or land surrounded by existing or authorized residential development with a density of at least 1,000 residents per square mile at buildout.

  • Allows parcels meeting the new 1,000 residents per square mile density criterion to be up to 4,480 acres instead of the standard 1,280-acre limit for agricultural enclaves.

  • Creates a presumption that when a parcel is abutted by land having only one land use designation, the same land use designation is presumed appropriate for the parcel and no negotiation between the local government and owner is required.

  • Requires negotiation between local governments and agricultural enclave owners within 180 days of receiving a complete amendment application, except when the parcel is abutted by land with only one land use designation.

  • Establishes that plan amendments for agricultural enclaves are presumed not to be urban sprawl and this presumption can only be rebutted by clear and convincing evidence.
