FL S1244

Defines "constrained agricultural parcel" as unincorporated, undeveloped land that has been in continuous agricultural use for 3 years, is at least 75 percent used for bona fide agriculture, has 1 mile of boundary adjacent to developed areas and 1 mile adjacent to restricted lands, and does not exceed 6,400 acres.

Allows owners of constrained agricultural parcels to apply for comprehensive plan amendments and requires local governments to agree on a written schedule within 30 days and negotiate in good faith for 180 days regarding consistency with surrounding uses, densities, and intensities within a 3-mile radius.

Creates a rebuttable presumption that plan amendments are not urban sprawl if the proposed uses, densities, and intensities are consistent with the most prevalent surrounding uses within 3 miles, and applies the same presumption to amendments transmitted to the state land planning agency.

Prohibits local governments from imposing development conditions that prevent uses, densities, and intensities consistent with surrounding prevalent uses, with violations allowing property owners to seek circuit court relief and creating a presumption of an inordinate burden on the property owner.

Exempts property within the Wekiva Study Area and Everglades Protection Area from the bill's provisions, preserving existing protections in those areas.
