Senator Margolis moved the following amendment:

2

3

     Senate Amendment (with title amendment)

4

     Delete everything after the enacting clause

5

and insert:

6

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

7

380.06, Florida Statutes, is amended, and paragraph (v) is added

8

to subsection (24) of that section, to read:

9

     380.06  Developments of regional impact.--

10

     (19)  SUBSTANTIAL DEVIATIONS.--

11

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

12

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

13

a substantial deviation subject to further development-of-

14

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

15

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

16

is presumed not to create a substantial deviation. The extension

17

of the date of buildout of an areawide development of regional

18

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

19

not to create a substantial deviation. These presumptions may be

20

rebutted by clear and convincing evidence at the public hearing

21

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

22

not a substantial deviation. For the purpose of calculating when

23

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

24

tolled during the pendency of administrative or judicial

25

proceedings relating to development permits. Any extension of the

26

buildout date of a project or a phase thereof shall automatically

27

extend the commencement date of the project, the termination date

28

of the development order, the expiration date of the development

29

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

30

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

31

market conditions, all development order phase, buildout

32

commencement, and expiration dates and all related local

33

government approvals for projects that are developments of

34

regional impact or Florida Quality Developments and under active

35

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

36

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

37

of whether or not active construction has commenced, are extended

38

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

39

extension is not a substantial deviation, is not subject to

40

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

41

considered when determining whether a subsequent extension is a

42

substantial deviation under this subsection. This extension also

43

applies to all associated local government approvals, including,

44

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

45

to the project.

46

     (24)  STATUTORY EXEMPTIONS.--

47

     (v) Any development within a county having a population

48

greater than 1.25 million which is proposed for at least two

49

uses, one of which is for use as an office or laboratory

50

appropriate for the research and development of medical

51

technology, biotechnology, or life science applications, is

52

exempt from this section if:

53

     1. The land is located in a designated urban infill area

54

or within 5 miles of a state-supported biotechnical research

55

facility or if a local government having jurisdiction

56

recognizes, by resolution, that the land is located in a

57

compact, high intensity, and high-density multiuse area that is

58

appropriate for intensive growth;

59

     2. The land is located within three-fourths of 1 mile

60

from one or more bus light rail transit stops; and

61

     3. The development is registered with the United States

62

Green Building Council and there is an intent to apply for

63

certification of each building under the Leadership in Energy

64

and Environmental Design rating program, or the development is

65

registered by an alternate green building rating system that a

66

local government having jurisdiction finds appropriate, by

67

resolution.

68

69

If a use is exempt from review as a development of regional

70

impact under paragraphs (a)-(u) (a)-(t), but will be part of a

71

larger project that is subject to review as a development of

72

regional impact, the impact of the exempt use must be included

73

in the review of the larger project.

74

     Section 2.  This act shall take effect July 1, 2008.

And the title is amended as follows:

78

     Delete everything before the enacting clause

79

and insert:

80

A bill to be entitled

81

An act relating to development of regional impact;
