The issue is whether, to the exclusion of fair debate, specific provisions of the Charlotte County comprehensive plan are not in compliance with certain requirements of Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code.Plan is not in compliance due to a provision regulating a mandated connection to central water on a bridgeless barrier island, which is unsupported by data and analysis, and is internally inconsistent with plan provisions discouraging urban sprawl.
