1. This special use permit is issued to Chase Animal Rescue and Sanctuary Inc. and Nina
This item concerns a special use permit for Chase Animal Rescue and Sanctuary Inc. and Nina Plail. The permit allows for keeping, rehabilitating, and entertaining the public with non-farm and exotic animals on an appointment-only basis. This approval is specific to the current landowners and requires a new permit if the property is sold or if Chase Animal Rescue and Sanctuary Inc. has a change in controlling interest of fifty-one percent or more. The permit is currently under review by the Planning and Zoning Special Master in Sumter County. This project would involve site preparation for animal enclosures, potential construction of visitor areas, and ongoing operational needs for animal care and public interaction. Businesses such as general contractors, site preparation and grading services, specialized animal enclosure builders, and suppliers of animal care equipment could find opportunities. Engaging early in the review process allows businesses to understand the project's scope and potential needs before final plans and permits are issued.

5. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THE GOVERNING BODY DETERMINES MAY BE USEFUL. No uses
Sumter County is proposing amendments to its Land Development Code. These changes involve deleting and replacing certain sections of the code. Specifically, the amendments address how "operating" is used in relation to permits, modify requirements for conservation subdivision submittals by removing the need for maps of neighboring properties, adjust density calculations for conservation subdivisions to align with the Comprehensive Plan, and require a Special Use Permit for sewage treatment plant effluent disposal in the Industrial zoning district. The proposed changes also correct the naming of "Assisted Living Facility, large" to "Assisted Living Facility." This is a planned code amendment, with the Planning and Zoning Special Master recommending approval and the Board of County Commissioners scheduled to consider it. The project involves administrative and legal work to update the code. Local businesses specializing in legal services and professional consulting related to land development codes could find opportunities in reviewing and understanding these changes as they are finalized.

[6209 SE 122ND BLVD WEBSTER FL 33597; case STU26-000020] Sumter County Planning and Zoning Special Master approved a Minor Special Use Permit for an exotic wildlife rescue and sanctuary. The permit is for Chase Animal Rescue and Sanctuary Inc. and Nina Plail on parcels T15-006 and T15-008. The property is 10.00 acres MOL, located south of CR 707 and east of CR 711 in the Webster area. The existing zoning is General Agriculture Minimum Ten Acres with Conventional Housing (A10C), and the future land use is Agriculture. The use allows for keeping, rehabilitating, and entertaining the public with non-farm and exotic animals on an appointment-only basis. The approval is subject to several conditions, including that the permit is specific to the current landowners and requires a new permit for any transfer of property or significant change in ownership of the entity. Further development requires site and building permitting processes, and county personnel will have site access for monitoring. Suspension or revocation of other county permits will result in the suspension or revocation of this permit. Casey Chapman submitted written comments requesting denial, citing concerns about website advertising including 'Experience Packages' and deed restrictions for 'Country Oaks'. [8885 CR 622C BUSHNELL FL 33513; case STU26-000024] Sumter County Planning and Zoning Special Master approved a renewal of a construction temporary use permit for Lacy Leed on parcel M18A200.

The RV must be removed within 30 days of permit expiration or certificate of occupancy. No public comment was noted. [case ZON26-000015] Sumter County Planning and Zoning Special Master reviewed a Land Development Code (LDC) Amendment requested by Sumter County. The amendment aims to fix errors in the LDC identified since the July 22, 2025 update, addressing redundancy and conflicts with the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed changes involve deleting and replacing certain divisions within the LDC. The Business Impact Estimate indicated no direct economic impact on businesses, no new charges or fees, and no direct economic impact on businesses. The Planning Division Staff recommended APPROVAL.

This agenda item concerns a proposed update to the Sumter County Land Development Code, specifically Article IV, Zoning. The update includes new regulations for reserve areas, requiring at least fifty percent of a total parcel to be designated as permanent open space through agricultural and conservation easements.
