    5         (15) It is the intent of the Legislature to encourage and
    6  facilitate the location of businesses in the state which will
    7  not only offer job creation and high wages and diversify the
    8  economy of the state, but promote the development of energy
    9  saving technologies and other clean technologies, and the usage
   10  of those technologies in Florida communities. The Office of
   11  Tourism, Trade, and Economic Development shall certify the job
   12  creation aspects of a mix-use project within 30 days after the
   13  office receives a request from a local government for review if

   16  development and manufacturing and distribution in the clean
   17  technology industries, including, but not limited to, energy and
   18  fuel saving, alternative energy production, or carbon-reduction
   19  technologies;
   20         (b) Provides at least 25 percent of site-wide demand for
   21  electricity by new renewable energy sources and uses building
   22  design, conservation, and construction techniques and materials
   23  to reduce projected project-wide energy demand, potable water
   24  consumption, and per capita carbon emissions by at least 25
   25  percent compared to the 2009 average per capita for the state;
   26  and
   27         (c) Contains at least 25,000 acres that are not located in
   28  a coastal high-hazard area and of which at least 50 percent is
   29  dedicated to conservation or open space.

   34  of paragraph (6)(a) and subsection (11) and the implementing
   35  rules.
