Golf course development fight prompts new law push - Sun Sentinel

Conversion of former golf course land to a development of townhomes and zero-lot-line patio homes are still an issue in one Boca Raton neighborhood. This fight has gone on for years and now residents are hoping for a state law to come to the rescue. Click title for link. This is from the end of the article:

Yet opponents of the 288 homes contend that a new developer shouldn't be able to build on land sold to them as a recreational amenity.
The proposed rule change would block the ability of developers today to claim that because all of the homes once envisioned for Boca Del Mar back when it was approved in 1971 weren't built, that some of those development rights can now be applied to the golf course.
While residents push for the new law, the latest development proposal goes before the County Commission in January.
