163.326 Large load customer considerations.
(1) The Legislature finds that certain land uses, including facilities with substantial electric or other utility demands, such as data centers and other large load customers as defined in s. 366.043(2), may present unique planning, infrastructure, and compatibility considerations. The Legislature intends that such considerations shall be addressed through local comprehensive planning and land development regulations adopted pursuant to this chapter, including provisions related to infrastructure capacity, land use compatibility, environmental impacts, and the efficient provision of public facilities and services.
(2) Local governments shall maintain the authority to exercise the powers and responsibilities for comprehensive planning and land development regulation granted by law with respect to large load customers. A large load customer may not be considered an electric substation for the purposes of s. 163.3208.
