FL S1960

Creates s. 163.32071 establishing solar facilities as a permitted use by right in all agricultural land use categories and zoning districts in unincorporated areas, with requirements that solar facility setbacks and buffers not exceed those for non-food/fiber producing facilities.

Requires agricultural land classified by property appraisers to maintain that designation when leased for installing and operating alternative or renewable energy facilities.

Amends s. 403.503 to define "alternative or renewable energy facility" as electrical generating facilities using solar, biodiesel, hydrokinetic, wind, or green hydrogen methods, and redefines "electrical power plant" to include alternative or renewable energy facilities.

Exempts alternative or renewable energy facilities of less than 75 megawatts in gross capacity from Florida Electrical Power Plant Siting Act requirements, whether operating as stand-alone facilities or colocated with existing power plants.

Updates cross-references in ss. 366.93, 380.23, 403.031, 403.509, and 403.5175 to reference the revised definitions section.
