534 | (19) SUBSTANTIAL DEVIATIONS.- |
535 | (e)1. Except for a development order rendered pursuant to |
536 | subsection (22) or subsection (25), a proposed change to a |
537 | development order that individually or cumulatively with any |
538 | previous change is less than any numerical criterion contained |
539 | in subparagraphs (b)1.-13. and does not exceed any other |
540 | criterion, or that involves an extension of the buildout date of |
541 | a development, or any phase thereof, of less than 5 years is not |
542 | subject to the public hearing requirements of subparagraph |
543 | (f)3., and is not subject to a determination pursuant to |
544 | subparagraph (f)5. Notice of the proposed change shall be made |
545 | to the regional planning council and the state land planning |
546 | agency. Such notice shall include a description of previous |
547 | individual changes made to the development, including changes |
548 | previously approved by the local government, and shall include |
549 | appropriate amendments to the development order. |
550 | 2. The following changes, individually or cumulatively |
551 | with any previous changes, are not substantial deviations: |
552 | a. Changes in the name of the project, developer, owner, |
553 | or monitoring official. |
554 | b. Changes to a setback that do not affect noise buffers, |
555 | environmental protection or mitigation areas, or archaeological |
556 | or historical resources. |
557 | c. Changes to minimum lot sizes. |
558 | d. Changes in the configuration of internal roads that do |
559 | not affect external access points. |
560 | e. Changes to the building design or orientation that stay |
561 | approximately within the approved area designated for such |
562 | building and parking lot, and which do not affect historical |
563 | buildings designated as significant by the Division of |
564 | Historical Resources of the Department of State. |
565 | f. Changes to increase the acreage in the development, |
566 | provided that no development is proposed on the acreage to be |
567 | added. |
568 | g. Changes to eliminate an approved land use, provided |
569 | that there are no additional regional impacts. |
570 | h. Changes required to conform to permits approved by any |
571 | federal, state, or regional permitting agency, provided that |
572 | these changes do not create additional regional impacts. |
573 | i. Any renovation or redevelopment of development within a |
574 | previously approved development of regional impact which does |
575 | not change land use or increase density or intensity of use. |
576 | j. Changes that modify boundaries and configuration of |

578 | refinement of such areas by survey, by habitat evaluation, by |
579 | other recognized assessment methodology, or by an environmental |
580 | assessment. In order for changes to qualify under this sub- |
581 | subparagraph, the survey, habitat evaluation, or assessment must |
582 | occur prior to the time a conservation easement protecting such |
583 | lands is recorded and must not result in any net decrease in the |
584 | total acreage of the lands specifically set aside for permanent |
585 | preservation in the final development order. |
586 | k. Changes to permit the sale of an affordable housing |
587 | unit to a person who earns less than 120 percent of the area |
588 | median income, provided the developer actively markets the unit |
589 | for a minimum period of 6 months, is unable to close a sale to a |
590 | qualified buyer in a lower income qualified income class, a |
591 | certificate of occupancy is issued for the unit, and the |
592 | developer proposes to sell the unit to a person who earns less |
593 | than 120 percent of the area median income at a purchase price |
594 | that is no greater than the purchase price at which the unit was |
595 | originally marketed to a lower income qualified class. This |
596 | provision may not be applied to residential units approved |
597 | pursuant to subparagraph (b)7. or paragraph (i), and shall |
598 | expire on July 1, 2009. |
599 | k. l. Any other change which the state land planning |
600 | agency, in consultation with the regional planning council, |
601 | agrees in writing is similar in nature, impact, or character to |
602 | the changes enumerated in sub-subparagraphs a.-j. and which does |
603 | not create the likelihood of any additional regional impact. |
604 |
|
605 | This subsection does not require the filing of a notice of |
606 | proposed change but shall require an application to the local |
607 | government to amend the development order in accordance with the |
608 | local government's procedures for amendment of a development |
609 | order. In accordance with the local government's procedures, |
610 | including requirements for notice to the applicant and the |
611 | public, the local government shall either deny the application |
612 | for amendment or adopt an amendment to the development order |
613 | which approves the application with or without conditions. |
614 | Following adoption, the local government shall render to the |
615 | state land planning agency the amendment to the development |
616 | order. The state land planning agency may appeal, pursuant to s. |
617 | 380.07(3), the amendment to the development order if the |
618 | amendment involves sub-subparagraph g., sub-subparagraph h., |
619 | sub-subparagraph j., or sub-subparagraph k., or sub-subparagraph |
620 | l., and it believes the change creates a reasonable likelihood |
621 | of new or additional regional impacts. |
622 | 3. Except for the change authorized by sub-subparagraph |
623 | 2.f., any addition of land not previously reviewed or any change |
624 | not specified in paragraph (b) or paragraph (c) shall be |
625 | presumed to create a substantial deviation. This presumption may |
626 | be rebutted by clear and convincing evidence. |
627 | 4. Any submittal of a proposed change to a previously |
628 | approved development shall include a description of individual |
629 | changes previously made to the development, including changes |
630 | previously approved by the local government. The local |
631 | government shall consider the previous and current proposed |
632 | changes in deciding whether such changes cumulatively constitute |
633 | a substantial deviation requiring further development-of- |
634 | regional-impact review. |
635 | 5. The following changes to an approved development of |
636 | regional impact shall be presumed to create a substantial |
637 | deviation. Such presumption may be rebutted by clear and |
638 | convincing evidence. |
639 | a. A change proposed for 15 percent or more of the acreage |
640 | to a land use not previously approved in the development order. |
641 | Changes of less than 15 percent shall be presumed not to create |
642 | a substantial deviation. |
643 | b. Notwithstanding any provision of paragraph (b) to the |
644 | contrary, a proposed change consisting of simultaneous increases |
645 | and decreases of at least two of the uses within an authorized |
646 | multiuse development of regional impact which was originally |
647 | approved with three or more uses specified in s. 380.0651(3)(c), |
648 | (d), (e), and (f) and residential use. |
