1. “13. Community control is a form of intensive supervised custody in the community involving restrictions of the freedom of the offender; is a sanction which the court may impose upon a finding-that-probation-is-an unsuitable — disposition When community control is imposed, it shall not exceed the term provided by general law. Committee Note (d)(13). (d)(13) Community control is a viable alternative for any state prison sentence less than twenty-four (24) months without requiring a reasonable departure. It is appropriate to impose a sentence of community control to be followed by a term of probation. The total sanction (community control and probation) shall not exceed the term provided by general law. Community control is not an alternative sanction from the recommended range of any non-state prison sanction unless the provisions of Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.701(d)(ll) are applied.”
