INTRODUCTION
 
The
 
State
 
of
 
Florida
 
has
 
one
 
of
 
the
 
most
 
comprehensive
 
and
 
progressive
 
land
 
use
 
planning
 
programs
 
in
 
the
 
country. The
 
authority
 
and
 
responsibility
 
for
 
establishing
 
and
 
implementing
 
the
 
roles,
 
processes,
 
and
 
powers
 
of
 
comprehensive
 
planning
 
programs
 
to
 
guide
 
and
 
control
 
future
 
development
 
in
 
Florida
 
is
 
vested
 
in
 
local
 
governments
 
because
 
local
 
governments
 
have
 
regulatory
 
authority
 
over
 
the
 
use
 
of
 
land. Regulatory
 
authority
 
over
 
the
 
use
 
of
 
land
 
means
 
that
 
local
 
governments
 
are
 
the
 
agencies
 
that
 
issue
 
development
 
permits. The
 
land
 
use
 
planning
 
program
 
in
 
Florida
 
is
 
commonly
 
referred
 
to
 
as
 
“Growth
 
Management”
 
and
 
is
 
found
 
in
 
a
 
broad
 
collection
 
of
 
laws,
 
rules,
 
regulations,
 
and
 
policies
 
affecting
 
all
 
planning
 
and
 
development
 
activities
 
of
 
the
 
state
 
and
 
local
 
governments. In
 
1985
 
Florida
 
enacted
 
the
 
Local
 
Government
 
Comprehensive
 
Planning
 
and
 
Land
 
Development
 
Regulation
 
Act,
 
Chapter
 
163,
 
Part
 
II,
 
Florida
 
Statutes. This
 
statute
 
requires
 
that
 
all
 
local
 
governments
 
adopt,
 
maintain,
 
and
 
implement
 
land
 
use
 
plans
 
and
 
development
 
regulations
 
for
 
all
 
future
 
development
 
actions. It
 
also
 
requires
 
that
 
all
 
geographic
 
areas
 
within
 
the
 
state
 
be
 
included
 
within
 
the
 
jurisdiction
 
of
 
a
 
local
 
comprehensive
 
plan
 
and
 
that
 
all
 
development
 
actions
 
be
 
consistent
 
with
 
the
 
adopted
 
plan. All
 
67
 
counties
 
and
 
all
 
of
 
the
 
cities
 
and
 
towns,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
the
 
Walt
 
Disney
 
World
 
area,
 
the
 
Reedy
 
Creek
 
Improvement
 
District,
 
have
 
adopted
 
local
 
comprehensive
 
plans.
