4. A granting of the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any
This item concerns a variance request for a property located in the 2nd Addition Highway Park subdivision. The applicant is seeking approval to deviate from certain zoning requirements. The variance, if granted, would allow for a special privilege not currently available to other properties in the same zoning district. The request is consistent with past allowances for similar nonconforming lots. This matter is currently under review by the Board of Adjustment. If approved, the project could involve site preparation, construction, and utility work, depending on the specifics of the development that follows the variance. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this review process, as early engagement before final plans and permits are issued can offer a competitive advantage.

5. Establishing multi -modal level of service standards that rely primarily on non
Highlands County is considering new standards for transportation, focusing on non-vehicular travel like walking and biking, especially in areas with existing or planned community designs that support mobility.

5. The Board of Adjustment shall prescribe a time limit within which the action
This item concerns a special exception request for a property located in Highlands County. The applicant, who currently owns one hen, is seeking permission to keep up to two hens. The property is currently zoned for Single-Family Residential (SFR) with an RM R-1 designation and is surrounded by similar residential uses. The request is currently under review by the Board of Adjustment. If approved, this would allow for the keeping of a small number of hens, which is considered compatible with the surrounding residential neighborhood. This early stage in the review process presents an opportunity for local businesses that provide services related to property compliance and potentially small-scale animal husbandry regulations. Engaging now could allow businesses to understand the specifics of the approval and be ready to offer support if the exception is granted.
