[7355 N. Citrus Ave., Crystal River, Florida; case CPA/AA/PUD-2026-00001] The Planning and Development Commission (PDC) is scheduled to review and make a recommendation on application CPA/AA/PUD-2026-00001 by Anderson Columbia, Inc. The application requests to amend the Future Land Use Map from General Commercial (GNC) to Industrial (IND) and the Land Development Code Atlas Map from GNC to Heavy Industrial (IND) with a Planned Unit Development for an asphalt plant. The property is approximately 22.6 acres, located in Sections 26 and 27, Township 17 South, Range 18 East, with the address 7355 N. Citrus Ave., Crystal River, Florida. Staff recommends denial due to non-compliance with comprehensive plan objectives and policies regarding land use conflicts, environmental impacts, wastewater, and adjacent property rights. Public sentiment is strongly against the proposal, evidenced by over 2,800 signatures on a Change.org petition citing concerns about air emissions, truck traffic, noise, and property value depreciation. [7355 North Citrus Avenue; case CPA-AA-PUD-2026-00001] Anderson Columbia Co., Inc. is seeking a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Atlas Amendment, and Planned Unit Development (PUD) Master Plan approval to develop a modern asphalt production facility. The proposed change is from GNC (General Neighborhood Commercial) to IND (Industrial) zoning. The project is located at 7355 North Citrus Avenue and encompasses 22.62 acres. The applicant, Anderson Columbia Co., Inc., states the facility will support local road projects, create jobs, reduce costs, and utilize rail service for aggregate delivery. They have incorporated enhanced design standards and buffering to ensure compatibility with surrounding uses. The application was received on January 19, 2026. The document also includes extensive data on the negative impact of asphalt plants on property values, traffic statistics for Citrus Avenue showing it is near capacity and experiencing degradation, an increase in traffic accidents on Citrus Avenue, and a note on the limited economic benefit of typical asphalt plants in terms of employment and pay. It also references a 2006 rezoning of 18.88 acres to the south for warehouses, not heavy industrial, and notes that the staff report at that time stated adjacent land uses provided transitioning. The document concludes with a recommendation to deny the application based on several deficiencies related to the County Comp Plan policies and potential contract zoning.

Anderson Columbia Co., Inc. is proposing to develop a modern asphalt production facility on a 22.62-acre property located at 7355 North Citrus Avenue.
