19 technologies;
20 2. 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 3. Contains at least 25,000 acres that are not located in a
28 coastal high-hazard area and of which at least 50 percent is

30 (b) The land use for a contiguous parcel of 25,000 acres or
31 more may be transmitted by a local government independent of an
32 application meeting the criteria of paragraph (a) so long as it
33 meets the following criteria:
34 1. The application for such approval is filed within 365
35 days after certification of a project by the Office of Tourism,
36 Trade, and Economic Development in accordance with paragraph
37 (a);
38 2. At least 70 percent of the contiguous parcel will be
39 classified for conservation, open space, agriculture or other
40 rural uses; and
41 3. The application relating to the contiguous parcel shall
42 include mixed-use development and development controls to
43 discourage the proliferation of urban sprawl.
44 (c) Any project that meets the criteria in this subsection
45 satisfies the requirements for land use allocation need based on
46 population projections, discouragement of urban sprawl, and the
47 provisions of paragraph (6)(a) and subsection (11) and the
