Sec. 3. Legislative intent
While the legislature recognizes that issues of planning and zoning by political subdivisions, including charter cities, may be a matter of local concern, the legislature finds and declares that, for the purposes of ensuring that residents of cities, towns and counties are governed by their elected public officials and not by a private corporation that is not fully transparent and accountable to the voters, that planned community development with mandatory homeowners' associations is a matter of statewide concern and shall be restricted in future development."
