The Committee on Agriculture (Peaden) recommended the following

2

amendment:

3

4

     Senate Amendment (with title amendment)

5

     Delete everything after the enacting clause

6

and insert:

7

     Section 1.  Subsection (5) of section 163.3162, Florida

8

Statutes, is amended to read:

9

     163.3162  Agricultural Lands and Practices Act.--

10

     (5)  AMENDMENT TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.--The

11

owner of a parcel of land defined as an agricultural enclave

12

under s. 163.3164(33) may apply for an amendment to the local

13

government comprehensive plan pursuant to s. 163.3187. Such

14

amendment is presumed to be consistent with rule 9J-5.006(5),

15

Florida Administrative Code, and may include land uses,

16

densities, and intensities of use that are consistent with the

17

uses, densities, and intensities of use of the industrial,

18

commercial, or residential areas that surround the parcel. This

19

presumption may be rebutted by clear and convincing evidence.

20

Each application for a comprehensive plan amendment under this

21

subsection for a parcel larger than 640 acres must include

22

appropriate new urbanism concepts such as clustering, mixed-use

23

development, the creation of rural village and city centers, and

24

the transfer of development rights in order to discourage urban

25

sprawl while protecting landowner rights. Notwithstanding the

26

provisions of a comprehensive plan, the local government may not

27

prohibit land uses, densities, and intensities of use that are

28

consistent with the uses, densities, and intensities of use of

29

the industrial, commercial, or residential areas that surround

30

the parcel. Densities and intensities of uses for an agricultural

31

enclave shall, at minimum, be calculated as the average density

32

or intensity of uses within 3 miles of the perimeter of the

33

parcel. If a local government imposes development conditions that

34

prevent the owner from achieving consistent densities and

35

intensities of use pursuant to this subsection, the owner may

36

apply to the circuit court for appropriate relief pursuant to s.

37

70.001. The imposition of such conditions is presumed to impose

38

an inordinate burden. This presumption may be rebutted by clear

39

and convincing evidence.

40

     (a)  The local government and the owner of a parcel of land

41

that is the subject of an application for an amendment shall have

42

180 days following the date that the local government receives a

43

complete application to negotiate in good faith to reach

44

consensus on the land uses, densities, and intensities of use

45

that are consistent with the uses, densities, and intensities of

46

use of the industrial, commercial, or residential areas that

47

surround the parcel. Within 30 days after the local government's

48

receipt of such an application, the local government and owner

49

must agree in writing to a schedule for information submittal,

50

public hearings, negotiations, and final action on the amendment,

51

which schedule may thereafter be altered only with the written

52

consent of the local government and the owner. Compliance with

53

the schedule in the written agreement constitutes good faith

54

negotiations for purposes of paragraph (d) (c).

55

     (b)  Upon conclusion of good faith negotiations under

56

paragraph (a), regardless of whether the local government and

57

owner reach consensus on the land uses, densities, and

58

intensities of use that are consistent with the uses, densities,

59

and intensities of use of the industrial, commercial, or

60

residential areas that surround the parcel, the amendment must be

61

transmitted to the state land planning agency for review pursuant

62

to s. 163.3184. If the local government fails to transmit the

63

amendment within 180 days after receipt of a complete

64

application, the amendment must be immediately transferred to the

65

state land planning agency for such review at the first available

66

transmittal cycle. A plan amendment transmitted to the state land

67

planning agency submitted under this subsection is presumed to be

68

consistent with rule 9J-5.006(5), Florida Administrative Code.

69

This presumption may be rebutted by clear and convincing

70

evidence.

71

     (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of a comprehensive plan,

72

after review by the state land planning agency, the owner shall

73

respond to any objections, recommendations, or comments issued by

74

the agency pursuant to s. 163.3184(6). If the department has not

75

issued any objections, recommendations, or comments, or if the

76

owner has responded to any objections, recommendations, or

77

comments and the local government denies or fails to approve the

78

amendment within the time period specified in s. 163.3184(7),

79

such denial or failure to approve the amendment is presumed to

80

impose an inordinate burden, and the owner may apply to the

81

circuit court for appropriate relief pursuant to s. 70.001. A

82

plan amendment reviewed by the land planning agency under this

83

subsection is presumed to be consistent with the provisions of

84

rule 9J-5.006(5), Florida Administrative Code. This presumption

85

may be rebutted by clear and convincing evidence.

86

     (d)(c) If the owner fails to negotiate in good faith, a

87

plan amendment submitted under this subsection is not entitled to

88

the rebuttable presumption under this subsection in the

89

negotiation and amendment process.

90

     (e)(d) Nothing within this subsection relating to

91

agricultural enclaves shall preempt or replace any protection

92

currently existing for any property located within the boundaries

93

of the following areas:

94

     (f) An agricultural enclave shall not be subjected to

95

higher concurrency standards than the concurrency standards

96

applied to previously approved development contiguous to the

97

enclave.

98

     1.  The Wekiva Study Area, as described in s. 369.316; or

99

     2.  The Everglades Protection Area, as defined in s.

100

373.4592(2).

101

     Section 2.  Subsections (6) and (7) of section 163.3245,

102

Florida Statutes, are renumbered as subsections (7) and (8),

103

respectively, and a subsection (6) is added to that section, to

104

read:

105

     163.3245  Optional sector plans.--

106

     (6) If an application for development approval or an

107

application for a comprehensive plan amendment pursuant to this

108

part has been filed and is pending prior to the effective date of

109

a sector plan, the application shall only be required to comply

110

with the provisions of a subsequently adopted sector plan upon

111

written consent of the applicant. This subsection applies to all

112

applications within a sector planning area pending before a local

113

government on or before December 31, 2007.

114

     Section 3.  Subsection (33) of section 163.3164, Florida

115

142

is surrounded by existing or authorized residential development

143

that will result in a density at buildout of at least 1,000

residents per square mile, then the area shall be determined to

145

be urban and the parcel may not exceed 4,480 acres.
