The Land Development Code (LDC) requires that a public hearing be conducted on certain land development requests (RZ, MM) prior to final decision by the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). Land Use Hearing Officers (LUHOs) conduct hearings. LUHOs do not make final decisions, but instead render recommendations to the BOCC. Final decisions by the BOCC are made at a public meeting governed by the requirements of the LDC.

This notice concerns a land development request that is currently under review by the Zoning Hearing Master in Hillsborough County. The process involves a recommendation from the Land Use Hearing Officer (LUHO) to the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) for a final decision. This stage means the project is still in its early planning and review phases, before final approvals and permits are issued. The project's scope of work, once approved, could involve site preparation, construction, and related trades, depending on the nature of the land development request. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this process. Engaging early, before detailed site plans and bids are finalized, offers the best opportunity to compete for potential work.
