146 subparagraph applies only to that portion of the rental, lease,

163 flight business purposes. Possession by a landlord, lessor, or
164 licensor of a signed written statement from the tenant, lessee,
165 or licensee claiming the exemption shall relieve the landlord,
166 lessor, or licensor from the responsibility of collecting the
167 tax, and the department shall look solely to the tenant, lessee,
168 or licensee for recovery of such tax if it determines that the
169 exemption was not applicable.
170 Reviser’s note.—Amends paragraph (1)(a) to delete
171 subparagraph 12., which provides an exemption from tax
172 for the rental or licensure of property to a
173 concessionaire by specified recreational facilities
174 for sale of event-related products, which subparagraph
175 was repealed pursuant to its own terms, effective July
176 1, 2009. Repeals subsection (10), which provided for
177 an exemption from tax for separately stated charges
178 imposed by specified recreational facilities upon a
179 lessee or licensee for food, drink, or services
180 required or available in connection with a lease or
181 license to use real property, including charges for

183 processing, which subsection was repealed by s. 2, ch.
184 2006-101, Laws of Florida, effective July 1, 2009.
185 Since the subsection was not repealed by a “current
186 session” of the Legislature, it may be omitted from
187 the 2010 Florida Statutes only through a reviser’s
188 bill duly enacted by the Legislature. See s.

533 380.06 Developments of regional impact.—
534 (19) SUBSTANTIAL DEVIATIONS.—
535 (e)1. Except for a development order rendered pursuant to
536 subsection (22) or subsection (25), a proposed change to a
537 development order that individually or cumulatively with any
538 previous change is less than any numerical criterion contained
539 in subparagraphs (b)1.-13. and does not exceed any other
540 criterion, or that involves an extension of the buildout date of
541 a development, or any phase thereof, of less than 5 years is not
542 subject to the public hearing requirements of subparagraph
543 (f)3., and is not subject to a determination pursuant to
544 subparagraph (f)5. Notice of the proposed change shall be made
545 to the regional planning council and the state land planning
546 agency. Such notice shall include a description of previous
547 individual changes made to the development, including changes
548 previously approved by the local government, and shall include
549 appropriate amendments to the development order.
550 2. The following changes, individually or cumulatively with
551 any previous changes, are not substantial deviations:
552 a. Changes in the name of the project, developer, owner, or
553 monitoring official.
554 b. Changes to a setback that do not affect noise buffers,
555 environmental protection or mitigation areas, or archaeological
556 or historical resources.
557 c. Changes to minimum lot sizes.
558 d. Changes in the configuration of internal roads that do
559 not affect external access points.
560 e. Changes to the building design or orientation that stay
561 approximately within the approved area designated for such
562 building and parking lot, and which do not affect historical
563 buildings designated as significant by the Division of
564 Historical Resources of the Department of State.
565 f. Changes to increase the acreage in the development,
566 provided that no development is proposed on the acreage to be
567 added.
568 g. Changes to eliminate an approved land use, provided that
569 there are no additional regional impacts.
570 h. Changes required to conform to permits approved by any
571 federal, state, or regional permitting agency, provided that
572 these changes do not create additional regional impacts.
573 i. Any renovation or redevelopment of development within a
574 previously approved development of regional impact which does
575 not change land use or increase density or intensity of use.
576 j. Changes that modify boundaries and configuration of
577 areas described in subparagraph (b)14. due to science-based
578 refinement of such areas by survey, by habitat evaluation, by
579 other recognized assessment methodology, or by an environmental
580 assessment. In order for changes to qualify under this sub
581 subparagraph, the survey, habitat evaluation, or assessment must
582 occur prior to the time a conservation easement protecting such
583 lands is recorded and must not result in any net decrease in the
584 total acreage of the lands specifically set aside for permanent
585 preservation in the final development order.
586 k. Changes to permit the sale of an affordable housing unit
587 to a person who earns less than 120 percent of the area median
588 income, provided the developer actively markets the unit for a
589 minimum period of 6 months, is unable to close a sale to a
590 qualified buyer in a lower income qualified income class, a
591 certificate of occupancy is issued for the unit, and the
592 developer proposes to sell the unit to a person who earns less
593 than 120 percent of the area median income at a purchase price
594 that is no greater than the purchase price at which the unit was
595 originally marketed to a lower income qualified class. This
596 provision may not be applied to residential units approved
597 pursuant to subparagraph (b)7. or paragraph (i), and shall
598 expire on July 1, 2009.
599 k. l. Any other change which the state land planning
600 agency, in consultation with the regional planning council,
601 agrees in writing is similar in nature, impact, or character to
602 the changes enumerated in sub-subparagraphs a.-j. and which does
603 not create the likelihood of any additional regional impact.
604
605 This subsection does not require the filing of a notice of
606 proposed change but shall require an application to the local
607 government to amend the development order in accordance with the
608 local government’s procedures for amendment of a development
609 order. In accordance with the local government’s procedures,
610 including requirements for notice to the applicant and the
611 public, the local government shall either deny the application
612 for amendment or adopt an amendment to the development order
613 which approves the application with or without conditions.
614 Following adoption, the local government shall render to the
615 state land planning agency the amendment to the development
616 order. The state land planning agency may appeal, pursuant to s.
617 380.07(3), the amendment to the development order if the
618 amendment involves sub-subparagraph g., sub-subparagraph h.,
619 sub-subparagraph j., or sub-subparagraph k., or sub-subparagraph
620 l., and it believes the change creates a reasonable likelihood
621 of new or additional regional impacts.
622 3. Except for the change authorized by sub-subparagraph
623 2.f., any addition of land not previously reviewed or any change
624 not specified in paragraph (b) or paragraph (c) shall be
625 presumed to create a substantial deviation. This presumption may
626 be rebutted by clear and convincing evidence.
627 4. Any submittal of a proposed change to a previously
628 approved development shall include a description of individual
629 changes previously made to the development, including changes
630 previously approved by the local government. The local
631 government shall consider the previous and current proposed
632 changes in deciding whether such changes cumulatively constitute
633 a substantial deviation requiring further development-of
634 regional-impact review.
635 5. The following changes to an approved development of
636 regional impact shall be presumed to create a substantial
637 deviation. Such presumption may be rebutted by clear and
638 convincing evidence.
639 a. A change proposed for 15 percent or more of the acreage
640 to a land use not previously approved in the development order.
641 Changes of less than 15 percent shall be presumed not to create
642 a substantial deviation.
643 b. Notwithstanding any provision of paragraph (b) to the
644 contrary, a proposed change consisting of simultaneous increases
645 and decreases of at least two of the uses within an authorized
646 multiuse development of regional impact which was originally
647 approved with three or more uses specified in s. 380.0651(3)(c),
648 (d), (e), and (f) and residential use.
