Summary
- A Development of Regional Impact (DRI) is “any development which, because of its character, magnitude, or location, would have a substantial effect upon the health, safety, or welfare of citizens of more than one county.” Initially an interim category proposed in 1972 “to be replaced by comprehensive planning and permitting programs.”
- Streamlines approvals of proposed DRIs by Reducing statutory requirements governing review.
- Many were redundant due to 2015 elimination of DRI review for new large developments. Retains current statewide guidelines and standards for determining when a development is subject to state coordinated review.
- Proposed changes to an existing DRI development order will be the responsibility of the local government in which the development is located.
- Repeals the Florida Quality Developments (FQD) program and requires FQD development orders to be replaced by local government development orders.
- Adopts a definition of a master development plan to be: “a planning document that integrates plans, orders, agreements, designs, and studies to guide development as defined in this section and may include, as appropriate, authorized land uses, authorized amounts of horizontal and vertical development, and public facilities, including local and regional water storage for water quality and water supply.”
