Senator Margolis moved the following amendment:

3

     Senate Amendment (with title amendment)

4

     Delete everything after the enacting clause

5

and insert:

6

     Section 1.  Paragraph (c) of subsection (19) and subsection

7

(24) of section 380.06, Florida Statutes, are amended to read:

8

     380.06  Developments of regional impact.--

9

     (19)  SUBSTANTIAL DEVIATIONS.--

10

     (c)  An extension of the date of buildout of a development,

11

or any phase thereof, by more than 7 years is presumed to create

12

a substantial deviation subject to further development-of-

13

regional-impact review. An extension of the date of buildout, or

14

any phase thereof, of more than 5 years but not more than 7 years

15

is presumed not to create a substantial deviation. The extension

16

of the date of buildout of an areawide development of regional

17

impact by more than 5 years but less than 10 years is presumed

18

not to create a substantial deviation. These presumptions may be

19

rebutted by clear and convincing evidence at the public hearing

20

held by the local government. An extension of 5 years or less is

21

not a substantial deviation. For the purpose of calculating when

22

a buildout or phase date has been exceeded, the time shall be

23

tolled during the pendency of administrative or judicial

24

proceedings relating to development permits. Any extension of the

25

buildout date of a project or a phase thereof shall automatically

26

extend the commencement date of the project, the termination date

27

of the development order, the expiration date of the development

28

of regional impact, and the phases thereof if applicable by a

29

like period of time. In recognition of the 2007 real estate

30

market conditions, all development order phase, buildout,

31

commencement, and expiration dates and all related local

32

government approvals for projects that are developments of

33

regional impact or Florida Quality Developments and under active

34

construction on July 1, 2007, or for which a development order

35

was adopted between January 1, 2006, and July 1, 2007, regardless

36

of whether or not active construction has commenced, are extended

37

for 3 years regardless of any prior extension. The 3-year

38

extension is not a substantial deviation, is not subject to

39

further development-of-regional-impact review, and may not be

40

considered when determining whether a subsequent extension is a

41

substantial deviation under this subsection. This extension also

42

applies to all associated local government approvals, including,

43

but not limited to, agreements, certificates, and permits related

44

to the project.
