c. Maximum gross density when located outside the UDA or inside the UDA with no

Planning and Zoning Special Master (PZSM) · 2026-05-04 · agenda_item

This item concerns a proposed amendment to land use policy in Sumter County. The land in question is located outside the Urban Development Area (UDA) and does not have central water and sewer service. The current policy allows for a maximum gross density of 1 dwelling unit per acre in such areas. The proposed amendment is compatible with this policy, allowing for development at this density. This policy change is currently under review by the Planning and Zoning Special Master. If approved, this could lead to the conversion of agricultural land for residential use. The work would likely involve site preparation, utility connections, road construction, home building, and landscaping. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out to understand the project details as early planning stages are underway.
