   11  Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida:
   12  
   13         Section 1. Paragraph (a) of subsection (29) of section
   14  380.06, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
   15         380.06 Developments of regional impact.—
   16         (29) EXEMPTIONS FOR DENSE URBAN LAND AREAS.—
   17         (a) The following are exempt from this section:
   18         1. Any proposed development in a municipality that has an
   19  average of at least 1,000 people per square mile of land area
   20  and a minimum total population of at least 5,000; or
   21         2. Any proposed development within a county, including the
   22  municipalities located in the county, that has an average of at
   23  least 1,000 people per square mile of land area and is located
   24  within an urban service area as defined in s. 163.3164 which has
   25  been adopted into the comprehensive plan;
   26         3. Any proposed development within a county, including the
   27  municipalities located therein, which has a population of at
   28  least 900,000, that has an average of at least 1,000 people per
   29  square mile of land area, but which does not have an urban
   30  service area designated in the comprehensive plan; or
   31         2.4. Any proposed development within a county, including
   32  the municipalities located therein, which has an average
   33  population of at least 400 people per square mile and a
   34  population of at least 300,000, provided, however, that in a
   35  county with a population of at least 1 million which has
   36  approved, by countywide election, a charter provision requiring
   37  an affirmative vote of more than a simple majority to extend the
   38  urban service area, the exemption shall only apply and is
   39  located within an urban service area as defined in s. 163.3164
   40  which has been adopted into the comprehensive plan.
   41  
   42  The Office of Economic and Demographic Research within the
   43  Legislature shall annually calculate the population and density
   44  criteria needed to determine which jurisdictions meet the
   45  density criteria in subparagraphs 1. and 2. 1.-4. by using the
   46  most recent land area data from the decennial census conducted
   47  by the United States Census Bureau of the Census of the United
   48  States Department of Commerce and the latest available
   49  population estimates determined pursuant to s. 186.901. If any
   50  local government has had an annexation, contraction, or new
   51  incorporation, the office of Economic and Demographic Research
   52  shall determine the population density using the new
   53  jurisdictional boundaries as recorded in accordance with s.
   54  171.091. The office of Economic and Demographic Research shall
   55  annually submit to the state land planning agency by July 1 a
   56  list of jurisdictions that meet the total population and density
   57  criteria. The state land planning agency shall publish the list
   58  of jurisdictions on its Internet website within 7 days after the
   59  list is received. The designation of jurisdictions that meet the
   60  criteria of subparagraphs 1. and 2. 1.-4. is effective upon
   61  publication on the state land planning agency’s Internet
   62  website. If a municipality that has previously met the criteria
   63  no longer meets the criteria, the state land planning agency
   64  shall maintain the municipality on the list and indicate the
   65  year the jurisdiction last met the criteria. However, any
   66  proposed development of regional impact not within the
   67  established boundaries of a municipality at the time the
   68  municipality last met the criteria must meet the requirements of
   69  this section until such time as the municipality as a whole
   70  meets the criteria. Any county that meets the criteria shall
   71  remain on the list in accordance with the provisions of this
   72  paragraph. Any jurisdiction that was placed on the dense urban
   73  land area list before June 2, 2011, shall remain on the list in
   74  accordance with the provisions of this paragraph.
   75         3. A development that qualifies for an exemption under this
   76  paragraph is not subject to s. 380.0651(4).
   77         Section 2. This act shall take effect July 1, 2014.
