Does the Live Local Act apply to my property?

Pembroke Pines directly addresses the 2023 Florida Live Local Act (F.S. 166.04151) through its Live Local Administrative Review Policy at LDC 155.314, adopted to meet the state's requirement that cities have a written procedure for administrative review of qualifying proposals. To qualify, your land must be zoned Commercial, Industrial, or Mixed-Use, and your proposal must be multifamily residential or mixed-use residential (at least 65 percent residential square footage, or mandatorily mixed-use if in a transit-oriented development area) with at least 40 percent of units reserved as affordable rentals for households at or below 120 percent of area median income in Broward County, under a recorded land use restriction agreement. If it qualifies, density, floor area ratio, height, and parking follow the formulas in LDC 155.314(D) rather than the base district's dimensional table, and approval does not require a rezoning, special exception, conditional use, variance, or comprehensive plan amendment. Because F.S. 166.04151 is a state statute, it can independently apply to a qualifying project even where the local administrative review policy does not squarely address a particular fact pattern; a project team should verify against the current statute text and confirm the application process with Planning and Economic Development at 954-450-1060, since approval under this policy is conceptual and other applicable review (site plan, building permit, and so on) still applies.
