182) which requires the governing body of each county or municipality to adopt an
Highlands County is reviewing proposed changes to its Land Development Regulations (LDRs) to create definitions for "recovery residence" and "certified recovery residence." The county attorney has determined that amendments are needed to align with state law. Staff has drafted revisions to allow "certified recovery residence" as a permitted use in R-3 and R-3 NC zoning districts and to establish procedures for requesting reasonable accommodation for individuals with disabilities. This item is currently under review by the Planning & Zoning Commission, with a recommendation to be made to the Board of County Commissioners. This process could lead to new opportunities for businesses involved in property development, construction, and related services as these types of residences are established. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this review process as it moves forward, as early engagement could provide an advantage before specific project plans and permits are finalized.
