§ 11.02.01. Generally

A.

Intent and Purpose

In recognition of the fact that certain land development rights of property owners may be vested with respect to the Future of Hillsborough Comprehensive Plan, the land development regulations adopted to implement the Plan, and the requirements for the determination of capacity of public facilities and availability of public facilities ("Concurrency"), these regulations set forth a procedure for the determination of vested rights. Any person claiming vested rights to develop property shall make application for a Vested Rights Order pursuant to these regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, development specifically approved in a DRI development order is vested in accordance with Section 163.3167(8), Florida Statutes, (1987), and is exempt from the provisions of these regulations to the extent accorded by the Statutes and the development order.

B.

Effect of Vested Rights Order

1.

Possession of a Vested Rights Order shall enable a permittee to complete the development approved under such Development Order up to and through issuance of appropriate certificates of occupancy, subject to the limitations set forth in 11.02.04 C and subject to compliance with such laws and regulations against which the development is not vested.

2.

A Vested Rights Order shall apply to the land and is therefore transferrable from owner to owner of the land subject to the Order.
