Planning & Zoning Commission / Local Planning Agency Regular Meeting · 2026-06-09 · agenda_item

This item concerns Military Airport Zones (MAZ) in Highlands County, specifically MAZ III. The proposal requires that new developments consider sound-level reduction standards to lessen the impact of military training activities. Additionally, all property transactions, including sales and rentals, must include disclosures about proximity to a military airfield. This is currently under review by the Planning & Zoning Commission. The project scope involves ensuring compliance with sound mitigation and disclosure requirements, which may lead to site plan modifications and the need for specialized consulting. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the implications of these sound and disclosure mandates before final plans are set.
