Development of Regional Impact (DRI)

Definition: A Florida land-use term for development whose scale, character, or location can substantially affect people in more than one county.

Example

A large planned community has transportation and infrastructure effects extending beyond its home county.

Keep the distinction clear

Do not assume every large project now needs the former regional review process. Section 380.06 assigns current review responsibilities and addresses existing development orders and vested rights.
