4. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CHOICES, RECOMMENDATIONS AND SCHEDULE

Planning and Development Commission · 2026-05-07 · agenda_item

Citrus County is reviewing potential land use changes to support economic development related to the Suncoast Parkway 2 extension. The review focuses on areas near Cardinal Street, SR 44, and CR 486, where current zoning may not be sufficient for future job growth, particularly for commercial and light industrial uses. The county is considering rezoning opportunities and strategic land use planning to encourage the development of commercial and industrial parks, potentially on parcels of 20 acres or more. This item is currently under review, with recommendations being considered by the Planning and Development Commission. The proposed changes could lead to site clearing, grading, utility work, and the construction of commercial and industrial facilities. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the evolving plans for these development areas and position themselves for future opportunities as site plans and permits are established.
