Citrus County Generalized Future Land Use Map (GFLUM)
The GFLUM is adopted by ordinance as part of the Citrus County Comprehensive Plan. The GFLUM was
adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on April 18, 1989 by Ordinance
No. 89-04. The map depicts the desired general pattern for the location, distribution,
and intensity of land uses to the year 2020. This map is used to guide future
development to the most suitable areas of the County in conjunction with the
associated policies and text in the Future Land Use Element of the Plan. All
development decisions must be consistent with provisions of the plan and GFLUM.
Due to the small scale of the map, parcels of less then 10 acres in size are
not represented on the map. The map is reviewed and updated at least every
seven years in conjunction with the Evaluation and Appraisal Report process.
In addition to this map, the
Division of Community Development also maintains the more detailed Land Development
Code Atlas (LDCA), which depicts permitted land uses on a parcel specific basis.
In cases where there is a difference between the designation on the LDCA and
the GFLUM, the Comprehensive Plan is the controlling regulatory document. This
includes the generalized map series and any other Plan Policy or relevant content
thereof.
Adjustments to the GFLUM
are made through the Comprehensive Plan amendment process. In accordance with
the limitations established in the Florida Statutes, small scale amendments
to the GFLUM of 10 acres or less may be made provided the cumulative total does
not exceed 80 acres per calendar year. Large scale amendments are limited to
twice per calendar year unless otherwise exempt by Florida Statutes.
