MODERATE
The bill was finalized as an enrolled version, adding specific exclusions for military installations and public utility land to the list of properties ineligible for redevelopment. It also formalized the requirement for developers to pay double impact fees and offer adjacent property owners a right of first refusal to purchase recreational areas, ensuring these spaces remain open if the developer proceeds with construction.
Scope change
The bill's scope was narrowed by adding two new exclusions: land within one-quarter mile of a military installation and land owned by public utilities. The bill also added specific procedural requirements for handling recreational facilities on qualifying parcels.
ELIGIBILITY

Added an exclusion preventing the application of the bill to land located within one-quarter mile of a military installation identified in s. 163.3175(2).

Added an exclusion preventing the application of the bill to land currently or previously owned by a public utility within the last 15 years.

REQUIREMENT

Added a requirement for developers to pay double parks and recreation impact fees if recreational facilities on the parcel have been unused for at least 12 consecutive months.

Added a requirement for developers to provide written notice to adjacent property owners offering them the right to purchase recreational areas within 90 days, with the purchase price capped at the owner's current value plus 10% or their most recent bona fide offer.

Added a requirement that if adjacent property owners exercise the purchase option, the land must be maintained as open space or a recreational area for at least 30 years.
