What is a Development of Regional Impact (DRI) and how might it affect my plans to develop my property?
A DRI is any development which, because of its character, magnitude or location, would have a substantial effect upon the health, safety, or welfare of citizens of more than one county. DRIs are regulated by Section 380.06 Florida Statutes and Chapter 28-24 and Rule 9J-2 Florida Administrative Code. These establish processes for review and thresholds for determining if a development is a DRI based on thresholds established by the state.
