A rezoning request is under review for a conservation subdivision on a property located within the agricultural future land use category. The proposed project site is a minimum of fifty (50) acres and is located one (1) mile from an arterial or collector road, specifically W C 48. The applicant is required to place a reserve area within a conservation easement and provide a management plan for its maintenance. As part of the development process, the applicant will need to submit a Traffic Impact Analysis for review by Sumter County Public Works. This project is in the planning stages, with the rezoning request currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners. The development process will likely involve site preparation, road access improvements to bring substandard roads up to standard, and potentially utility work, followed by construction and landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out early to understand the project's scope and potential needs before final plans and permits are issued.
