Commissioners approved the rezoning with nine specified conditions.

Eric Van de Bogard, construction projects coordinator for Hernando County, told the commission the county began planning the shelter expansion about two years ago and determined the parcel was not in the correct zoning category following earlier annexation and code changes. He said the county asked for rezoning rather than repeatedly renewing a special‑use exemption so the site\u0000s zoning would permanently match the county\u0000s planned use. Van de Bogard said the project aims to add roughly 27–28 kennels and that fire‑rescue access requirements will be incorporated in the final design and permitting documents.

Captain John Cameron of the Hernando County Sheriff\u0000s Office Special Operations Division said the shelter currently has 56 kennels across existing runs and that the county sometimes uses a removable divider (described in the record as a guillotine door) to reconfigure stalls when intake surges occur. Van de Bogard and Cameron said plans also include a smaller, separate intake/isolation building to handle sick animals; Van de Bogard described that building as approximately 40 by 40 feet. Van de Bogard estimated the primary addition at about 8,400 square feet; he characterized that figure as approximate during discussion.

City staff confirmed the parcel was notified in accordance with state code and noted it was originally annexed into the city in 1993 as agricultural property; a land‑development code change in 2011 required the site to operate under a special‑use permit prior to this rezoning. Staff also said the county had met with fire officials and that nine conditions were recommended as part of approval.

Commissioners moved to rezone the parcel to agricultural zoning with the listed conditions; the motion passed unanimously. The county will submit final design documents and apply for permits consistent with the approved zoning and conditions. The rezoning removes the need for a future special‑use amendment triggered by the size of the expansion, the commission was told.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Brooksville - Planning and Zoning - Jul 09, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Planning and Zoning Commission rezoned a parcel on Oliver Street to allow expansion of the Hernando County animal shelter, approving conditions and clearing the way for a roughly 27‑kennel addition and associated facilities.","taxTitle","Brooksville, Hernando County, Florida","taxId",52021,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6510958,"Brooksville commission recommends allowing one rooster per acre in agricultural zones",78,205000,283000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5345918-d8494f5e14bc8b3b8935c49daf03b604&start=205&end=283","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5345918-d8494f5e14bc8b3b8935c49daf03b604/thumbnail_205000.jpg","/articles/6510958/Brooksville/Hernando-County/Florida/Brooksville-commission-recommends-allowing-one-rooster-per-acre-in-agricultural-zones","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6510958-a0e867e905b4f356b74f3fcd47f7bf76/orig.mp4?Expires=1771137068&Signature=dam4-BNa5gU19DG4ZzhM-8iw~aTrTC4mHpg7TRi8b53boXY1Mo9KDF~f8vJf7W2NIjJH6GAyj2jJ5bKeGb1l2FfE2YAXJvOO98Xce8p0Vh14hniI74A8UIQWDlYB8ET8sRSN-ac7JvM7kZObrRfgtQMkXiiRTVCPT-NmvaEaEhMVFeh8KOvi78GivNfau-A4GipRwIpZTtHJR7m7WN0Va-2bGKr0xt7-wpEF-2~GOjH3H2zkcgBVy0n80MOBtzIhVu7bAU8vokMNqGCBJmFFSxtezTCJJGBAlpTbqvQ2VC8-K1A6XS1-G69GvJBh0OpydkrBJCslHxAk0d8-APwGeQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Brooksville Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended that City Council amend Ordinance 977 to permit a single rooster in agricultural zoning districts, under conditions outlined in a redline amendment presented to the commission.

City staff member David Hainley told commissioners the request came from the City Council after the commission earlier amended the ordinance to allow chickens under conditions. The amendment proposed allows a rooster, restricted to one rooster per parcel as presented; commissioners clarified during discussion that the restriction effectively equates to one rooster per acre in agricultural zones.

Commissioners asked few substantive questions. After brief discussion and a motion to recommend approval to City Council, members voted unanimously to forward the amendment.

If City Council adopts the amendment, the change will modify the city\u0000s land-use code (Ordinance 977) to explicitly permit a single rooster in agricultural zoning under the conditions reflected in the redline amendment presented to the commission.","The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the City Council amend Ordinance 977 to permit one rooster in agricultural zoning districts, forwarding the amendment with conditions by unanimous vote.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6510963,"Brooksville planning commission postpones rezoning hearing for Summit Villas to Aug. 13",43,129000,172000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5345918-d8494f5e14bc8b3b8935c49daf03b604&start=129&end=172","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5345918-d8494f5e14bc8b3b8935c49daf03b604/thumbnail_129000.jpg","/articles/6510963/Brooksville/Hernando-County/Florida/Brooksville-planning-commission-postpones-rezoning-hearing-for-Summit-Villas-to-Aug-13","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6510963-a7c170da9a76cea36d57972d7d785e7f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771137068&Signature=A8ki4YxpRmHIT1gesPbCIjpYaYooejhPkbCvfLA5jybwDRWzbWHTjTWqzm4y3LnXi4YdoxOaovYLNXsbL9PpH~DBlJXJYR0nGhPRFAZjZ-10EiuIeMaMmYkmigvmOdONqSVhz3YmXi~z-1catKYH~gyAZqtsY2MfeQEcH74Fwz7cJvH~J45gGmsGYXcr5z-rgq1WSrxxoE4AreIi96XpX06eWn5-wTRljXLJAkXVhsTg-oj0QCzl-MBJOSZxEpnec3EbHAyVPQa9DYMQW5RdhLW2DN~DRR2j0GRbuWI3jF23QZyYseyNrQ4JFHeAoOp5CRWOO~VcfGiW4ag2ZN6QsA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Brooksville Planning and Zoning Commission on an unanimous voice vote postponed consideration of Ordinance 999RZ2020Five‑three, a rezoning application filed on behalf of the Brooksville Housing Authority and Summit Villas Senior, LLLP, until the commission\u0000s Aug. 13 meeting.
