Development of Regional Impact

The DRI feature class consists of polygon boundaries of development of regional impact (DRI) in unincorporated Hillsborough County. This dataset may now be outdated and Hillsborough County no longer updates the GIS DRI boundaries. Pursuant to Section 380.06(1), Florida Statutes, a development of regional impact is "any development which, because of its character, magnitude, or location, would have a substantial effect upon the health, safety or welfare of citizens of more than one county." A Development of Regional Impact is determined in part based on the size of the development. Numerical thresholds for different types of development are identified in Section 380.0651, Florida Statutes, and Rule 28-24, Florida Administrative Code. There are 14 types of developments which may be DRIs if they exceed certain thresholds. The types of development include airports, hospitals, mines, hotels, marinas, industrial, office and retail uses, residential projects and multi-use developments. The types and numericals thresholds are identified in Section 380.0651, F.S., and Chapter 28-24, F.A.C.
