FL H1361

County boards may hold joint meetings with adjacent counties or municipalities to discuss land development, economic development, or other matters of mutual interest, with due public notice required; no official votes may be taken at joint meetings, and participating governing bodies must first adopt a resolution authorizing participation.

Military installation representatives serving as ex officio nonvoting members on local government land planning or zoning boards are exempt from filing a statement of financial interest under s. 112.3145.

Minimum acreage threshold for sector plans is reduced from 15,000 acres to 5,000 acres, and the maximum size of enclaves eligible for expedited municipal annexation is increased from 10 acres to 110 acres.

Developments of regional impact that are "essentially built out" may continue development without further DRI review, with expanded criteria allowing noncompliance with reporting requirements (not just buildout dates); local governments may authorize land use exchanges in built-out projects without state land planning agency concurrence, provided no net increase in public facility impacts occurs.

New proposed developments consistent with the local comprehensive plan are exempt from both the state coordinated review process and DRI review under s. 380.06; newly acquired lands equal to or less than 10 percent of an existing DRI's total acreage are exempt from aggregation requirements. Effective July 1, 2016.
