1) Mining activities which are conducted within one-thousand (1,000) feet of a County or State maintained public road, residential structure, permanent building or public park shall be screened from view. A 100 FT VEGETATIVE BUFFER WILL BE PRESERVED AROUND ALL PROPERTY LINES. 2) A planted vegetation buffer meeting the standards of this LDC must be maintained. A berm eight (8) foot in height, that meets the following standards may be incorporated into a vegetated buffer where existing native vegetation is lacking. Native vegetation of no less than one hundred (100) feet in average depth may substitute a planted buffer, provided such buffer provides the equivalent of a Type "D" enhanced buffer. Such buffer may be bisected by natural or manmade features such as wetlands or access roads.

A Special Master Hearing is planned for June 5, 2026, regarding a proposed mining activity in Lecanto. The proposal includes requirements for screening mining operations within 1,000 feet of public roads, homes, buildings, or parks. A 100-foot vegetative buffer will be preserved around all property lines. Additionally, a planted vegetation buffer or an 8-foot berm may be incorporated, with native vegetation of at least 100 feet in depth potentially substituting for a planted buffer. This review stage means that plans are still being developed. The project could involve site preparation, grading, installation of berms, and extensive landscaping and vegetation management. Contractors specializing in site clearing, grading, landscaping, and potentially construction of berms may find opportunities. Suppliers of native plants and landscaping materials could also be involved. Engaging early in this planned review process allows businesses to understand the project's scope and requirements before final bids and permits are issued.

B. Development Standards: New mining districts, expanded mining districts, and expanded mines must be located, designed, and operated to be compatible with surrounding private and publicly owned lands with special considerations given to surrounding conservation and residential districts. Mining activities will be subject to the following design standards. The Board of County Commissioners may adopt modified conditions of approval pursuant to the Planned Unit Development standards of this LDC when in the public interest and expressed in formal findings of fact.

This item concerns a proposed change to development standards for new and expanded mining districts and mines in Citrus County. The proposal requires these mining operations to be compatible with nearby private and public lands, especially conservation and residential areas. Modifications to these standards may be considered by the Board of County Commissioners under Planned Unit Development rules if found to be in the public interest. This matter is currently under review. The project would involve site planning and permitting for mining operations, potentially leading to site preparation, grading, and construction of related infrastructure. Contractors specializing in site preparation, grading, and potentially heavy construction, along with suppliers of mining and construction materials, could find opportunities. Engaging early in the review process allows businesses to understand the project's scope and requirements before formal bidding begins.
