FL S0832

Allows long-term master plans and detailed specific area plans to supersede conflicting chapter requirements, with specifications for conservation easements that may be based on aerial photographs without surveys and include adjustment rights for land substitution.

Requires applicants for detailed specific area plans to transmit copies to specified reviewing agencies, which must submit written comments to the local government and state land planning agency within 30 days.

Permits conservation easements to include rights of adjustment allowing the grantor to substitute lands of equal gross acreage with equivalent wetland, upland, and wildlife habitat values that are contiguous to existing protected lands, accomplished by recording an amendment accepted by the grantee.

Allows the Department of Environmental Protection, Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, or water management district to accept wetland or upland preservation through conservation easements as compensatory mitigation for permitting purposes without considering previously recorded easements on the same property.

Authorizes applicants with approved master development orders in designated rural areas of opportunity to request that water management districts issue consumptive use permits for the same duration as the development order, based on projected population and densities in the order.
