Any such conservation 896 easement may be based on rectified aerial photographs without 897 the need for a survey and may include a right of adjustment 898 authorizing the grantor to modify portions of the area protected 899 by a conservation easement and substitute other lands in their 900 place if the lands to be substituted contain no less gross 901 acreage than the lands to be removed; have equivalent values in 902 the proportion and quality of wetlands, uplands, and wildlife 903 habitat; and are contiguous to other lands protected by the 904 conservation easement. Substitution is accomplished by recording 905 an amendment to the conservation easement as accepted by and 906 with the consent of the grantee which consent may not be 907 unreasonably withheld. 908 (c) In its review of a long-term master plan, the state 909 land planning agency shall consult with the Department of 910 Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Department of 911 Environmental Protection, the Fish and Wildlife Conservation 912 Commission, and the applicable water management district 913 regarding the design of areas for protection and conservation of 914 regionally significant natural resources and for the protection 915 and, as appropriate, restoration and management of lands 916 identified for permanent preservation. 917 (d) In its review of a long-term master plan, the state 918 land planning agency shall consult with the Department of 919 Transportation, the applicable metropolitan planning 920 organization, and any urban transit agency regarding the 921 location, capacity, design, and phasing or staging of major 922 transportation facilities in the planning area. 923 (e) Whenever a local government issues a development order 924 approving a detailed specific area plan, a copy of such order 925 shall be rendered to the state land planning agency and the 926 owner or developer of the property affected by such order, as 927 prescribed by rules of the state land planning agency for a 928 development order for a development of regional impact. Within 929 45 days after the order is rendered, the owner, the developer, 930 or the state land planning agency may appeal the order to the 931 Florida Land and Water Adjudicatory Commission by filing a 932 petition alleging that the detailed specific area plan is not 933 consistent with the comprehensive plan or with the long-term 934 master plan adopted pursuant to this section. The appellant 935 shall furnish a copy of the petition to the opposing party, as 936 the case may be, and to the local government that issued the 937 order. The filing of the petition stays the effectiveness of the 938 order until after completion of the appeal process. However, if 939 a development order approving a detailed specific area plan has 940 been challenged by an aggrieved or adversely affected party in a 941 judicial proceeding pursuant to s. 163.3215, and a party to such 942 proceeding serves notice to the state land planning agency, the 943 state land planning agency shall dismiss its appeal to the 944 commission and shall have the right to intervene in the pending 945 judicial proceeding pursuant to s. 163.3215. Proceedings for 946 administrative review of an order approving a detailed specific 947 area plan shall be conducted consistent with s. 380.07(6). The 948 commission shall issue a decision granting or denying permission 949 to develop pursuant to the long-term master plan and the 950 standards of this part and may attach conditions or restrictions 951 to its decisions. 952 (f) The applicant for a detailed specific area plan shall 953 transmit copies of the application to the reviewing agencies 954 specified in s. 163.3184(1)(c), or their successor agencies, for 955 review and comment as to whether the detailed specific area plan 956 is consistent with the comprehensive plan and the long-term 957 master plan. Any comments from the reviewing agencies shall be 958 submitted in writing to the local government with jurisdiction 959 and to the state land planning agency within 30 days after the 960 applicant’s transmittal of the application. 961 (g)(f)This subsection does not prevent preparation and 962 approval of the sector plan and detailed specific area plan 963 concurrently or in the same submission. 964 (h) If an applicant seeks to use wetland or upland 965 preservation achieved by granting conservation easements 966 required under this section as compensatory mitigation for 967 permitting purposes under chapter 373 or chapter 379, the 968 Department of Environmental Protection, the Fish and Wildlife 969 Conservation Commission, or the water management district may 970 accept such mitigation under the criteria established in the 971 uniform assessment method required by s. 373.414, or pursuant to 972 chapter 379, as applicable, without considering the fact that a 973 conservation easement encumbering the same real property was 974 previously recorded pursuant to paragraph (b). 975 (9) The adoption of a long-term master plan or a detailed 976 specific area plan pursuant to this section does not limit the 977 right to continue existing agricultural or silvicultural uses or 978 other natural resource-based operations or to establish similar 979 new agricultural or silvicultural uses that are consistent with 980 the plans approved pursuant to this section. 981 (13) An applicant with an approved master development order 982 may request that the applicable water management district issue 983 a consumptive use permit as set forth in s. 373.236(8) for the 984 same period of time as the approved master development order. 985 (15) The more specific provisions of this section shall 986 supersede the generally applicable provisions of this chapter 987 which otherwise would apply. This section does not preclude a 988 local government from requiring data and analysis beyond the 989 minimum criteria established in this section. 990 Section 31.
