While there may be - additional areas for comparison, those cited above represent the major areas of concern. The proposed LDC is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes. It also reflects current case law -and professional practice. The•proposed LDC is not perfect and will require amendments as experience warrants. The LDC format establishes tables in each section to track the amendments. Each Article is page numbered separately so that changes can be made without the need for renumbering the whole LDC. Blank pages have inserted throughout to allow insertion of amendments with minimal renumbering.
