- Division of Community Development
- Chapter 380, F.S., creates the Florida Environmental Land and Water Management Act (“Act”), which provides for the protection of the state’s natural resources and environment and designates the Department as a land planning agency responsible for enforcing and administering the rules and regulations of the Act. Sections 380.032 and .06, F,S, confer rulemaking authority on the Department to adopt rules necessary to administer and implement the various provisions within the Act. The proposed amendments will better organize the information pertaining to development approval, alternative review, and hurricane preparedness. This will also improve ease of use by moving form references into the applicable rule and will delete unnecessary definitions.
- The proposed amendments/revisions will create a single rule on the subject of land development regulations.
- The Department seeks to streamline and clarify its rules related to its administration of the Low–Income Energy Assistance Act by moving information from Rule 73C-26.024, F.A.C., pertaining to energy payments into Rule 73C-26.022, F.A.C., concerning energy benefits. The Department seeks to amend Rule 73C-26.024, F.A.C., pertaining to eligibility to include the information contained in Rule 73C-26.025, F.A.C., regarding appeal rights. Rules 73C-26.024 and .025, F.A.C., will be repealed. In addition, the Department seeks to delete paragraph (5)(f) of Rules 73C-26.023, F.A.C., in order to consider all households according to the same income factors for establishing eligibility.
