The proposed bill, titled the Infill Redevelopment Act, aims to facilitate the development of environmentally impacted land within urban areas of Florida, specifically targeting parcels of at least 5 acres in counties with populations exceeding 1.475 million and containing at least 10 municipalities. The bill mandates local governments to permit the development of qualifying parcels at the highest density and intensity allowed in adjacent zoning districts, or to allow single-family homes or townhouses if no such zoning exists. It prohibits local governments from imposing certain restrictions, such as limiting density to less than 30 units per acre or requiring larger lot sizes than 1,250 square feet. Additionally, the bill requires developers to maintain a buffer of at least 30 feet from existing single-family homes and to adhere to specific regulations regarding recreational facilities on the qualifying parcels.

The legislation also includes provisions for the subdivision of qualifying parcels, requiring local governments to approve applications that meet existing legal requirements without using the subdivision process to restrict development. Developers must provide written notice to adjacent property owners regarding the development and offer them the option to purchase any recreational facilities on the parcel at a specified price. The bill emphasizes that local governments cannot adopt or enforce any laws that impose more restrictive requirements than those outlined in the Infill Redevelopment Act, ensuring a streamlined process for development approvals. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law.
