On March 29, 2023, Governor Ron DeSantis signed Senate Bill 102 into law as Chapter 2023-17, also known as the "Live Local Act", which provides special zoning and land use preemptions for projects which have at least 40% of its units set aside for workforce housing. The exemptions listed within the "Live Local Act" include preemptions on certain development regulations such as density and height, and also requires administrative approval for eligible projects. The "Live Local Act" also requires the city to maintain a list of all real property that it or the CRA owns that are appropriate for use as affordable housing.
