19. Whether maintaining the existing zoning classification accomplishes a legitimate public

Planning Commission · 2026-06-11 · agenda_item

Pasco County is considering a zoning change for a property currently zoned A-R Agricultural-Residential. The proposed change would reclassify the land to R-4 High Density Residential. This change aligns with the county's goal for higher density development in this area, as indicated by the RES-3 Future Land Use designation and the property's location within a development corridor. The current zoning allows only one dwelling unit per developable acre, while the proposed zoning would permit higher density. This item is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners, following a public hearing and recommendations from the Planning Commission and County staff. If approved, this rezoning could lead to site preparation, grading, utility work, road construction, and the vertical construction of residential structures. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the project's scope and potential phases before final plans and permits are issued.
