Planning Commission · 2026-05-07 · agenda_item

Pasco County is considering a significant change to the Palmetto Ridge Planned Development (PD). This proposal involves amending the Comprehensive Plan text for Subarea Policy FLU 7.1.34. The project is currently under review by the Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners. The proposed changes include adding 300 executive single-family detached units, increasing total residential entitlements to 2,800 units, and adding 50,000 square feet of retail uses, bringing the total non-residential entitlement to 100,000 square feet. A portion of the Preservation Area, approximately 25 acres, would be reduced to allow for the realignment of Vision Roadway "AD". This project would involve site preparation, grading, utility work, road construction, and the eventual vertical construction of residential and commercial buildings, followed by landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should engage early to understand the project's scope and potential phases as plans develop, as this offers an advantage before bids and permits are finalized.
