AI Summary

  • Proposed comprehensive plans and plan amendments applying to land within, or within 2 miles of, the Everglades Protection Area (as defined in s. 373.4592(2)) must follow the more rigorous state coordinated review process instead of the expedited state review process
  • Department of Environmental Protection must review such proposals within 30 days and determine whether they adversely impact the Everglades Protection Area or Everglades restoration and protection objectives; if adverse impacts are found, the local government must modify the plan to eliminate or mitigate those impacts before adoption, or the offending portion may not be adopted
  • Small scale development amendments (50 acres or fewer) are prohibited for properties located in whole or in part within, or within 2 miles of, the Everglades Protection Area, eliminating the streamlined single-hearing adoption process for those areas
  • Counties whose boundaries include any portion of the Everglades Protection Area, and their municipalities, must transmit copies of adopted small scale development amendments to the state land planning agency within 10 days of adoption for recordkeeping purposes
  • Effective date is July 1, 2024
