FL S0192

Comprehensive plan amendments affecting land within or within 2 miles of the Everglades Protection Area in Miami-Dade County (as defined in s. 125.011(1)) and its municipalities must follow the more rigorous state coordinated review process instead of the expedited review process

The Department of Environmental Protection, in consultation with all federally recognized Indian tribes in Florida, must determine within 30 days whether a proposed plan or amendment adversely impacts the Everglades Protection Area or Everglades restoration objectives under s. 373.4592

If the department identifies adverse impacts, the local government must modify the proposed plan or amendment to include strategies eliminating or mitigating those impacts before adoption, or that portion of the plan may not be adopted

Small-scale development amendments (50 acres or fewer) are prohibited for properties located within or within 2 miles of the Everglades Protection Area in Miami-Dade County and its municipalities; local governments whose boundaries include any portion of the Everglades Protection Area must transmit adopted small-scale amendments to the state land planning agency within 10 days

The act has an effective date of July 1, 2023
