Bill > S0962

This bill amends existing Florida Statutes related to affordable housing by revising the definitions of "commercial use," "industrial use," and "mixed use" to explicitly exclude farms and farm operations, as defined in section 823.14(3), and any associated activities like packaging and selling products raised on the premises. This change aims to clarify that these agricultural activities will not be considered commercial, industrial, or mixed uses for the purposes of certain affordable housing provisions, potentially impacting how land zoned for these purposes can be utilized for residential development. The bill also includes an effective date of upon becoming law.
