During a recent government meeting, concerns regarding flooding and a proposed multifamily development were at the forefront of discussions. Philip Ulmer, a resident of Homosassa, raised his concerns about flooding in the area, although the meeting was primarily focused on public input regarding specific applications.

The meeting proceeded with a review of application PUD 2646, presented by Todd Pressman, which seeks to establish a plan unit development on 19 acres for 156 multifamily units. The proposal includes various amenities such as a dog park, gym, pool, community center, and nature trails, designed to enhance community living. Pressman emphasized that the development aligns with the county's future land use and zoning regulations, proposing a density of 7.87 units per acre, which is below the maximum allowed density.

Originally, the application sought approval for 392 units, but after consultations with county staff, the proposal was revised to a 60% reduction in density to better fit community needs and comply with local regulations. Pressman highlighted the importance of the project in providing safe and affordable housing options in Citrus County, aligning with the county's comprehensive plan objectives.

The meeting concluded without any staff announcements or further public input, as the focus remained on the application at hand. The discussions reflect ongoing efforts to balance development with community concerns, particularly regarding environmental impacts such as flooding.
