7. Proposed Zoning Population Yield: Under the proposed two-family R
A proposal is under review to rezone 12 parcels of land to R-2 zoning, which allows for two-family dwellings. This change could potentially lead to the construction of 24 dwelling units. The project is currently in the planning and zoning review phase. If approved, this rezoning would likely involve site preparation, utility work, and the construction of new residential structures. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in residential construction, site work, and related trades should consider reaching out to the applicant early in the process. Engaging before final site plans and permits are established offers an advantage in securing future work.

7. The granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general purpose and
This item concerns a variance request for a single-family residence located in the M-1-S District. The property is currently used as a single-family residence. The variance is needed because many lots in this area were established before 1971 and are smaller, making it difficult to meet current setback requirements. The request is currently under review by the Board of Adjustment. If approved, this variance would allow for the construction or modification of a single-family residence. This could involve site preparation, foundation work, framing, and finishing trades. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this item as it progresses through the review process. Early engagement before final site plans and permits are issued could provide a competitive advantage for potential work.

A. P&Z 2191 - PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT
Highlands County staff is proposing changes to the Land Development Regulations. These changes would add definitions for "recovery residence" and "certified recovery residence." The proposed amendments would also allow "certified recovery residence" as a permitted use in R-3 and R-3 NC zoning districts. A new section would be created to outline procedures for requesting reasonable accommodation for individuals with disabilities. This item is currently under review, having been recommended for approval by the Planning & Zoning Commission to the Board of County Commissioners. The work involved would focus on administrative and legal processes related to land use and zoning, rather than physical construction. Local businesses in legal services and professional consulting could find opportunities by engaging with the county or developers as these regulations are finalized and potentially implemented.
