DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
Staff will present the attached proposed amendment of Land Development Code (LDC) Section 4.2.2 General Requirements for all Agricultural Classifications relating to solar facilities. Solar facilities are now permitted by right in agricultural zoning, as per Florida Statutes. This proposed amendment to the zoning code will provide development standards for solar facilities.
The proposed LDC amendments were considered by the Land Development Regulation Commission (LDRC) in a public hearing held on October 1, 2025, and heard at the first of two required Board of County Commissioner (BCC) Public Hearings on November 4, 2025. The BCC instructed staff to go back to the LDRC and make additional edits. Staff and LDRC have compiled an updated version for the Board’s consideration. The LDRC recommended approval of these items and motioned to forward them to the Board of County Commissioners for consideration.
This is the second of two required public hearings.
