Comprehensive Plan

Any change in the future land use map that involves land areas of 10 acres or less OR densities of 10 dwelling units per acre or less. Small-scale amendments are not subject to the twice per year submission limit and may be considered by the County on the regular monthly Schedule for Review and Hearings and transmitted to the State for review at any time. Other statutory provisions may limit an owner’s ability to apply for small-scale amendments, as defined by Section 163.3187, Florida Statutes.

Small-scale amendments require one public hearing before the Planning Commission and one public hearing before the Board of County Commissioners, which will be an adoption hearing. All other CPAs are deemed to be large-scale amendments. Up to a maximum of 120 cumulative acres may be amended under the small-scale designation in areas designated by the Comprehensive Plan as urban infill or urban redevelopment; a cumulative maximum of 60 acres are allowed in all other areas.
