Mixed-use condominiums
Governs condominiums combining residential and commercial units. Subsection (2) requires that when residential units make up at least fifty percent of the total units, residential owners collectively be entitled to elect a majority of the board of administration. Commercial owners cannot veto amendments to the association documents. For mixed-use condos created after July 1, 2007, ownership and common-expense shares must be allocated either on a per-unit basis or by square footage, with no other allocation method permitted. The Florida Supreme Court in Cohn v. Grand Condominium (Fla. 2011) held that retroactive application of subsection (2) to a 1986 declaration that fixed voting power to the Condominium Act "in effect as of the date of recording" violated the Florida Constitution's contracts clause.
