- Airport: means any area of land or water designed and set aside for the landing and taking off of aircraft and used or to be used in the interest of the public for such purpose. See Florida Statutes 333.01
- Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
- Appellate: About appeals; an appellate court has the power to review the judgement of another lower court or tribunal.
- Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
- Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.
- Person: means any individual, firm, copartnership, corporation, company, association, joint-stock association, or body politic, and includes any trustee, receiver, assignee, or other similar representative thereof. See Florida Statutes 333.01
- Political subdivision: means the local government of any county, municipality, town, village, or other subdivision or agency thereof, or any district or special district, port commission, port authority, or other such agency authorized to establish or operate airports in the state. See Florida Statutes 333.01
- Structure: means any object constructed, erected, altered, or installed, including, but not limited to, buildings, towers, smokestacks, utility poles, power generation equipment, and overhead transmission lines. See Florida Statutes 333.01
- Writ of certiorari: An order issued by the Supreme Court directing the lower court to transmit records for a case for which it will hear on appeal.
(1) Any person, political subdivision, or joint airport zoning board affected by a decision of a political subdivision or its administrative agency may apply for judicial relief to the circuit court in the judicial circuit where the political subdivision is located within 30 days after rendition of the decision. Review shall be by petition for writ of certiorari, which shall be governed by the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure.
(2) The court has exclusive jurisdiction to affirm, reverse, or modify the decision on the permit or other determination from which the appeal is taken and, if appropriate, to order further proceedings by the political subdivision or its administrative agency. The findings of fact by the political subdivision or its administrative agency, if supported by substantial evidence, shall be accepted by the court as conclusive, and an objection to a decision of the political subdivision or its administrative agency may not be considered by the court unless such objection was raised in the underlying proceeding.
(3) If airport zoning regulations adopted under this chapter are held by a court to interfere with the use and enjoyment of a particular structure or parcel of land to such an extent, or to be so onerous in their application to such a structure or parcel of land, as to constitute a taking or deprivation of that property in violation of the State Constitution or the Constitution of the United States, such holding shall not affect the application of such regulations to other structures and parcels of land, or such regulations as are not involved in the particular decision.
(4) A judicial appeal to any court may not be permitted under this section until the appellant has exhausted all of its remedies through application for local government permits, exceptions, and appeals.
