3. If during construction activities any evidence of the presence of State or Federally protected

Villages of Pasadena Hills Planning and Policy Committee · 2026-04-15 · agenda_item

This item concerns potential requirements during construction within the Villages of Pasadena Hills. If protected plant or animal species are found during construction, work in that area must stop. The Pasco County Natural Resource Inspector and other agencies must be notified within two working days. Work can only resume after necessary permits are secured and written authorization is given by agencies, or if state and federal guidelines are met. This is a planned requirement that will affect future development projects. The scope of work could involve site clearing, grading, and general construction, with potential for delays and specialized environmental compliance measures. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers should be aware of these potential environmental review steps. Early engagement with project developers could provide an advantage in understanding and preparing for these compliance needs.
