The Citrus County Planning and Development Commission is considering a new overlay zone to encourage professional office and light industrial development. This plan, recommended by TBRPC, would apply to areas around county interchanges. The overlay zone would allow these new uses on properties where existing zoning can continue, provided special site design and buffering criteria are met. This initiative aims to attract job-creating businesses while respecting existing landowners. The proposal involves amending the County's Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map. Areas designated for this new zoning should be at least 20 acres to accommodate park-like development. This early stage in the planning process presents an opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage. As the plan moves forward, work could involve site preparation, construction of office and industrial buildings, and related infrastructure. Reaching out now allows businesses to understand the county's development goals before specific site plans, bids, and permits are finalized.
