The Pasco County Planning Commission placed three zoning and comprehensive-plan items on the meeting consent agenda, with Planning, Development and Economic Growth staff recommending approval and no members of the public objecting.

The items, presented by Gianna German of the Planning, Development and Economic Growth Department, included two rezoning requests and one comprehensive plan amendment affecting properties along State Road 54, Power Line Road and State Road 52 in Pasco County. German opened the consent section by saying, “We have no items on continuance today, so we're going to jump into the consent agenda.”

The commission record shows the following items were presented on consent: PDE25-7867 (Wesley Chapel Professional Center), a rezoning request from P02 (professional office) to C2 (general commercial) for approximately 0.94 acres at the southeast corner of Viridian Way and State Road 54; PDE25-7869 (James A. and Cheryl L. Pelletier), a rezoning to AR (agricultural residential) for about 9.8 acres on the east side of Power Line Road, roughly 2,300 feet north of Franz Hill Road; and PDE25-112 (CPAS2424, “Duty Calls” CPA), a proposed comprehensive-plan amendment changing future land use from AG (agricultural) to IL (industrial light) on roughly 10.09 acres on the south side of State Road 52 approximately 1,274 feet west of Aaron Cutoff. Staff recommended approval or a finding of consistency with the comprehensive plan for these items.

There was limited discussion. An attendee who identified himself as Clark Hobby (Hobby & Hobby, P.A., applicant representative) raised a question about required potable and wastewater connections for the Duty Calls site, noting the nearest connection appeared to be about 3.8 miles away. Hobby asked whether that distance was correct and whether connections would be required. A staff member responding to the question said, “Right. I, I think we're gonna have to make sure that the interconnection is when, what's required by the comp plan when we get to the zoning. I think that's your point. Right now there isn't anything there. Good news is we are working with the staff, and we're going to be bringing the facilities much closer. They will probably end up coming to Aaron Cutoff.” The exchange was recorded as discussion; no formal change to the application or to utility requirements was made at the meeting.

No members of the public signed up for comment. The Planning Commission adopted the meeting agenda by motion and voice vote; the motion to approve the agenda was moved and seconded, and the chair called for all in favor to say “aye,” after which the motion carried. A separate motion to adjourn was later moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.

As the Planning Commission is appointed by the Board of County Commissioners and serves as the local planning agency, its recommendations on comprehensive-plan amendments, rezonings and conditional-use requests are transmitted to the Pasco County Board of County Commissioners for final action, the staff explained during opening remarks. No final decisions by the Board of County Commissioners were recorded at this meeting.
