Summary Explanation and Background:
On September 8, 1988, the Board of County Commissioners of Brevard County, Florida approved Ordinance 88-27, adopting the 1988 Comprehensive Plan, that has been amended from time to time.
Section 163.3191, Florida Statutes, requires each local government to evaluate its comprehensive plan to determine if plan amendments are necessary to reflect a minimum planning period of at least ten years or reflect statutory changes to the Community Planning Act adopted since the last update. This process is known as the Evaluation and Appraisal Review (EAR).
Brevard County reviewed the requirements of Section 163.3191, Florida Statutes and determined that amendments to the comprehensive plan would be necessary to comply with the statutory requirements. The County notified Florida Commerce of its determination on November 28, 2023.
On November 7, 2024, the Board transmitted the EAR Based Large-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment to Florida Commerce for review under the State Coordinated Review Process. Florida Commerce completed its review and issued the Objections, Recommendation, and Comments Report on January 21, 2025.
