Notice of receipt of this Petition was published in the Florida Administrative Register on September 5, 2023, and an amended notice of receipt was published July 9, 2024.

No public comment was received. The Order, file number 23-1349, granted the variance based on a showing that Petitioner demonstrated that a strict application of the rule would result in substantial hardship to Petitioner or would affect Petitioner differently than other similarly situated applicants and because Petitioner demonstrated that the purpose of the underlying statute will be or has been achieved by other means.
