The bill specifies that local governments must comply with Special Magistrate decisions where land use decisions were challenged by petitioners who were previously denied. Several key terms are redefined, such as density, intensity, urban service area and urban sprawl. It includes a mandate to use the state Office of Economics and Demographic Research as the sole source of data for comprehensive planning. Removes the consideration of Levels of Service as a basis for denying a petition. Planned Unit Developments are removed from this section of Florida Statutes. The bill also prohibits the formation of new Design Review Boards unless established before January 1, 2020. The bill has a retroactive application to January 1, 2022. (Chapman)
