Under Florida law, rezoning decisions must be:

• Consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, and 
• Supported by competent, substantial evidence

Relevant precedent includes:

• Board of County Commissioners of Brevard County v. Snyder
• Martin County v. Yusem

These cases establish that:

• Rezoning is a quasi-judicial decision, not arbitrary or political
• The Board must rely on facts in the record, not speculation
• A decision inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan cannot legally be approved
