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:

• Planning Commission. An appointed board that holds the public hearing and votes on a recommendation. The elected board casts the deciding vote later. The elected board, meaning the county commission or the city council, casts the deciding vote at a later meeting.
