A copy of the Order is attached to this Final Order as Exhibit A. BACKGROUND This is a proceeding to determine whether the City of Brooksville (City) Comprehensive Plan Amendment adopted by Ordinance No. 718 on September 18, 2006, is “in compliance” with the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act, Ch. 163, Part H, Florida Statutes (the “Act”). FINAL ORDER NO. DCA07-GM-240 The Department published a notice of intent to find the amendment to be “in compliance.” Hernando County timely filed a Petition for a Formal Administrative Hearing to challenge the amendment. After the Department forwarded the Petition to the Division of Administrative Hearings for assignment of an Administrative Law Judge, Majestic Oaks Partners, LLC and Majestic Oaks Developers, LLLP, were granted leave to intervene. The parties subsequently entered into a Stipulated Settlement Agreement which required the City to adopt a “clarifying” plan amendment. The City adopted the amendment, and, on April 2, 2007, the Department published a notice of intent to find the amendment to be “in compliance.” In accordance with the Settlement Agreement, Petitioner Hernando County voluntarily dismissed its Petition. The Administrative Law Judge issued his Order Closing File on April 6, 2007. No Exceptions to the Administrative Law Judge's Order were filed.
