The facts on file

The story so far

Dates and wording are the source's own. Sources publish late and amend; the official record is the authority.

What this case is

Comprehensive plan amendment. A comprehensive plan amendment changes the future land use designation on the land, which is the ceiling on what the zoning can later allow. In Florida a small-scale amendment adopts in one local step; a larger one is transmitted to the state for review before the local board adopts it. Adoption changes the plan, not the zoning. A rezoning usually follows, sometimes filed as a companion case at the same time.

Who decides what on this record:

• Introduced. The item was formally placed before this body for the first time. It marks the start of that body's review, not a decision. A public hearing and a vote follow at a later meeting.
• Enacted. Adopted into law by the elected body. This is the final approval. Nothing further is required.
