This item concerns a proposed amendment to the Land Development Code for Citrus County, Florida. Specifically, it addresses additional design standards for large non-residential projects. The proposed change would require that in areas zoned for residential or commercial use, grass, weeds, underbrush, or undergrowth not exceed 12 inches in height within 500 feet of any improved residential lot. This rule would not apply to trees, shrubs, or hedges. The item is currently under review by the Planning and Development Commission. If approved, this could lead to requirements for site maintenance, landscaping, and potentially new construction or renovation projects that must adhere to these standards. Businesses involved in landscaping, site clearing, and general contracting may find opportunities related to ensuring compliance with these new regulations.
