4. A granting of the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any

This item concerns a variance request for property located in an M-1-S zoned district. The applicant seeks permission to deviate from current zoning regulations regarding yard setbacks. The property is in a neighborhood where similar lots, developed before current rules, have mobile homes encroaching into setbacks.

A special exception is under review to allow a sand mine operation on approximately 243.97 acres across three parcels located near Venus, Florida.

A sand mining operation is under review by the Highlands County Board of Adjustment. The applicant proposes to excavate approximately 170 acres on properties currently used for agriculture. This project is currently under review, with the applicant intending to start the permitting process soon after receiving approval. The proposed sand mine, an industrial use, is noted as not being consistent with the surrounding rural and agricultural character, including nearby residential properties and conservation lands.
