Zoning Bill Defeat Reported By East Central Council
Claude Locke of Lake County reported the defeat of SB 190 the Florida Planning and Zoning Association bill at the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council meeting in Titusville. The act would allow counties and cities to form planning commissions without special acts while leaving 1200 existing acts intact and offering choice between new and current systems. It would simplify procedures reduce delays and cut costs especially for localities lacking planning commissions. Nearly half of Florida’s towns would benefit though 48 states have similar general laws.
