AI Summary
-
Defines "constrained agricultural parcel" as an unincorporated, undeveloped parcel of land with at least 75% in continuous agricultural use for 3 years, at least 1 mile of boundary adjacent to existing development, at least 1 mile adjacent to lands designated as non-developable, and not exceeding 6,400 acres.
-
Allows owners of constrained agricultural parcels to apply for amendments to local comprehensive plans, with local government and owner having 30 days to agree on a negotiation schedule and 180 days to reach consensus on consistency of proposed uses, densities, and intensities with surrounding development.
-
Establishes a rebuttable presumption that plan amendments for constrained agricultural parcels are not urban sprawl if uses, densities, and intensities are consistent with the most prevalent surrounding uses within a 3-mile radius, excludable by clear and convincing evidence.
-
Permits owners to transfer amendments directly to the state land planning agency if the local government fails to transmit within 180 days, with amendments so transferred presumed not to be urban sprawl.
-
Prohibits local governments from imposing development conditions that restrict uses consistent with surrounding development, with violation creating a presumed inordinate burden; exempts property in Wekiva Study Areas and Everglades Protection Areas from these provisions.
