Welcome to the Board of County Commissioners Comprehensive Plan Amendment Public Hearing.

The Board of County Commissioners will consider the adoption of text and map amendments to the Hillsburg County Comprehensive Plan.

Following the comprehensive plan amendment public hearing, the board will hold a hearing for consideration of the adoption of a proposed amendment to the land development code.

It says, please be advised that I am unable to attend today's public hearing due to a scheduling conflict.

Do I have a motion to continue?

No.

I think it just happened.

It says we have to have a motion.

Does require um motion in order to motion notice I have a motion by Commissioner Cohen and a second by Commissioner Bowles.

Uh please record your vote.

Good evening.

Commissioner Cameron Cepeda.

Motion carried six to zero.

I will now request that the planning commission staff introduce the first item on this evening's agenda.

Uh good evening for the record.

This is Gillian Massey with Planning Commission staff.

Um first on the agenda would be the consideration of the adoption of large-scale uh comprehensive map amendments.

Um item B1 is HCCPA 25-16 and will be presented by Diego Guerra.

Can you turn on your microphone, please?

No, yeah, there we go.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

The Regina Planning Commission staff.

Again, this item is CPA 2516.

Uh updates to the surface water resource protection areas and wellhead um wellhead resource protection areas uh update.

Uh again, this item was transmitted uh by you to the state for further review back at October's hearing.

Uh to recap, this is a publicly initiated amendment specific to two maps within the future land use map series.

The request was to update the surface water resource protection map with the latest data uh and remove zone one and redefined zone two on the well head resource protection areas map.

Ums or wellheads be connected to the public to the public portable water system uh in the future.

Those maps would be updated accordingly.

Uh that concludes my presentation.

Myself and county staff are available for any questions you may have.

Thank you.

This is a public hearing.

Anyone wishing to speak to CPA 2516, please come forward.

What's the pleasure of the board?

Move approval.

Second.

I have a motion by Commissioner Cohen, a second by Commissioner Wolstow.

Please record your votes.

Motion carried six to zero.

Next item, please.

Uh next up is item B2, which is HC CPA 25-17, presented by Miss Katrina Corcoran.

Good evening, Katrina Corcoran Planning Commission staff.

I'm here tonight to present uh the text amendment to the quarter preservation plan map and text of the mobility section.

As a reminder, this is a privately initiated text amendment that would be adding a quarter, Fort Hamer Road, to the adopted quarter preservation plan map.

There is also a staff recommended policy addition to the mobility section.

This slide shows the uh mobility sections map series, including map one, which is the adopted quarter preservation plan map.

Uh this map is utilized to protect future right-of-way from encroachment, provide connectivity, and ensure transportation quarters are adequate to serve plan growth and development patterns as defined in the future land use section.

This slide shows the proposed change with the uh Fort Hamer Road proposed alignment.

Uh this is in southern Hillsborough County.

It's outside of the coastal high hazard area and the urban service area.

This slide shows that the proposed roadway alignment is within the Little Manatee South Community Plan and the urban expansion area or UEA study boundaries.

The applicant provided noted and provided um documentation of significant uh uh entitlements in Manatee County um abutting the potential roadway.

This slide shows the map with the addition of the proposed Fort Hamner Road.

This shows this slightly more zoomed in.

Uh note that the roadway is orange, indicating that it is a maximum of six lanes.

We did receive comments, um agency comments from the following uh agencies that are listed on this slide.

We also received comments from state agencies post-transmittal.

Um no objection.

I will note that the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission conducted a GIS analysis of the roadway for wildlife and noted that it is uh has habitat for several federal and state listed species, and they recommended wildlife surveys and use of wildlife crossings.

All of that would come after in engineering and design after the comprehensive plan amendment process.

The uh interchange that is proposed in this roadway, which is not a part of this amendment, is noted in the TPO's long-range transportation plan.

There are wetlands near the proposed alignment, which is uh noted in your staff report.

However, um, this is not a uh concern in terms of moving this forward with the uh quarter preservation plan map.

There's also significant wildlife habitat near the proposed alignment, and again, the environmental protection commission noted uh wildlife crossings in the area for the potential roadway.

Uh Planning Commission staff did find the amendment consistent with the objectives and policies of the comprehensive plan listed here.

There are a few other related policies noted throughout, um, including the environmental and sustainability intergovernmental coordination section in terms of coordination with the EPC and the mobility section speaking to future land use in looking at projecting future roadways.

With that, there is a proposed policy addition to the mobility section that reads enable infrastructure planning to occur concurrently with or in advance of the adoption urban expansion areas as outlined in the future land use section.

Preliminary planning efforts may include but are not limited to updates to the quarter preservation plan map and/or the LRTP.

Again, this was staff recommended, um, but the applicant agreed with adding it to their amendment.

With that, the planning commission found HCCPA 25-17 consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the unincorporated Hillsborough County Comprehensive Plan with the addition of the proposed mobility section policy 4.2.6.

Uh, this item is up for your consideration for adoption.

I'm happy to answer any questions that you may have.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Is the applicant here?

I'm very sorry for that slow reaction, Madam Chair.

It's okay.

You have 15 minutes.

I want to take 30 seconds.

Um Madam Chairman, members of the commission, my name is Pat Neal.

Uh, we've built about 27,000 homes, mostly in Manatee and Sarasota County.

As you know, Northern Manatee County is a uh the center of the universe for those of us who live in Southwest Florida.

The property to the north is a completely uh pristine space that we're gonna make a beautiful community out in due course.

We have a major road, uh six, two, four and six-lane road called Ford Hamer Extension, which goes across the Manatee River and stops, as you can see on the green graphic right at the Hillsborough County line.

The very short version is that should go somewhere.

If we can give an uh if we can get it across to Ruskin, that would be an important thing for the people of Hillsborough County.

And in due course, we'd like to be able to plan a community around these two green and uh yellow lines.

So we've had a very good experience with your staff.

We like working with Hillsborough County.

I can say as briefly as I can say, Madam Chair, we hope you'll go forward with this amendment.

Thanks so much.

Is there anyone else with the applicant?

If not, this is a public hearing.

Anyone wishing to speak to CPA 2517, please come forward.

Good evening, Commissioners.

My name is Greg Horwidell.

I'm Deputy County Administrator for Hillsboro County for the record.

And I did want to note while this is a privately initiated amendment, there are some things that do belong in tandem.

And part of the reason that I'm up here is to uh let you know that we're going to have a publicly initiated county-initiated amendment to add Fort Hammer I-75 interchange uh to the comprehensive plan.

That is going to be part of this coming cycle, and you'll hear more about that when it's time to make that presentation.

I believe that that provides a very thoughtful opportunity for planning.

We think at the staff level, it gives us an opportunity to get uh ahead of some of the development pressure that may occur with roads and other infrastructure.

We think the applicant has made a very thoughtful and wise decision to collaborate early on with the county, and we're happy to support this.

I should also remind you that uh as you may recall back in July, you authorized us to submit a letter to the state for the uh land reserve stewardship district that is House Bill 4061 filed by Representative Michael Owen.

So we're continuing to work on that with the applicant.

We think that is another extraordinarily proactive step for us to have and to take to make sure that these types of developments integrate well with the county.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Anyone else Commissioner Wistel, you're recognized.

Thank you.

I just wanted to point out that over the past three years, I've berated all of you with all of my grout gripes about the many decades of backlogs of unimproved roads that we have mismanaged here in Hillsborough County, including things like Lithia Pinecrest, all things that were supposed to be done two decades ago when they were initially advertised.

And I think this might be the only road that's been planned for ahead of time since I've been here.

And I don't know if further to be happy or sad about that reality, but um, not only do I think that it's a good thing, I think it should be the model as we go forward.

So I will move for approval.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I have a motion by Commissioner Whistle and the second by Commissioner Cohen.

Seeing no one else in the queue, please record your vote.

Motion carries six to zero.

Next item, please.

Next on the agenda is section C, which is the consideration of adoption of small scale future land use amendments.

Um item C one is HCCPA 25 19, which will be presented by Lillian Linahan.

Good evening, Commissioners.

Lillian Lennihan, Planning Commission staff here to present HCCPA 2519 located at 4950 Saffold Road.

This is a privately initiated map amendment that is small in scale and approximately 10.01 acres.

The applicant is requesting to expand the urban service area, and this amendment is associated with HCCPA 2520, which is a request to change the future land use category from agricultural rule one to five to residential four.

This is the general location map.

As I mentioned in the previous slide, this applic application is associated with HCCPA 2520.

It is located within the rural area, and it is also within the limits of the South Shore Area Wide Systems Plan and the Wai Mama Village Community Plan.

It is located north of Saffold Road and west of County Road 579.

Here is an aerial of the site.

The site is outlined in pink, and the blue line indicates the existing urban service area boundary.

This is looking north of the subject site from Saffold Road.

This is looking north from Saffold Road to the single family use that is currently on the subject site.

This is looking west of the subject site from Saffold Road.

And this is facing east of the subject site from Saffold Road.

And lastly, this is look on the subject site looking north.

This at a minimum, this amendment would bring approximately 10.0 acres into the urban service area, which requires at a minimum connection to public water and sewer.

The proposed amendment received no formal objections.

However, it did receive a few comments from the following agencies, which are important to note.

The public utilities administration uh stated that this system currently has sufficient potable water capacity to accommodate the proposed land use change.

However, public potable water service does not exist within a quarter mile from the subject property.

Additionally, the system also has sufficient wastewater capacity to accommodate the proposed land use change, but public water wastewater service does not exist within a quarter mile from the subject property.

Community infrastructure planning staff analysis on traffic impacts would be addressed in the report for the accompanying plan map amendment HC CPA 2520, and based on that traffic analysis, there's adequate capacity to accommodate the additional trips generated by the proposed future land use change under HCCPA 2520.

And Hillsboro County Public Schools stated that Wimama Elementary, Shields Middle, and Sumner High Schools are projected to be overcapacity given the existing approved approved development and proposed amendment.

Currently, additional capacity exists in adjacent concurrency service areas at the high school level.

However, there is no adjacent capacity available at the elementary and middle school levels, and the applicant was advised to contact the school district for more information.

The proposed amendment is consistent with the following objectives, policies and objectives and policies of the comprehensive plan.

The proposal meets the intent of Flu's Objective 1.1 and Flu's policy 1.1.9, which directs 80% of the population growth into the urban service area and establishes the criteria for publicly and privately initiated USA amendments.

In this case, the subject site is adjacent and contiguous to the established urban service area.

Additionally, the site is adjacent to a publicly initiated amendments that the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to initiate.

And the request meets the criteria in Flu's policy 1.1.9.

According to FLUS policy 3.1.1, 3.1.2, and 3.1.3.

Compatibility and gradual transitions of intensities and densities between different land uses shall be provided for as new development is proposed.

The residential for future land use designation surrounds the site, and there are lower density residential developments on all sides.

The transition to residential residential for on the subject site with an urban service area expansion would allow for density intensity that is compatible with the existing area.

Flu's objective 4.4 and its associated policies seek to protect protect existing neighborhoods and communities and those that will emerge in the future.

The request is consistent with the neighborhood community development objective and policies as the surrounding land use pattern is comprised of mostly single family residential and agricultural uses and south of Saffold Road.

There are mainly public quasi-public institutional uses.

The proposed request complements the existing community character and development pattern.

And lastly, the proposal meets goal five of the Waiamama Village Community Plan.

Goal five of the plan seeks to encourage housing to accommodate a diverse population and range of income levels.

The expansion of the urban service area and change of the future land use designation increases the type of housing allowed on the subject site, as well as allows for housing on a smaller lot size, which can be more affordable for the residents of the Wimama village area.

The planning commission recommends that the proposed map amendment be found consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the unincorporated Hillsborough County Comprehensive Plan.

And this concludes my presentation.

I'm here if you have any questions.

This is a combined public hearing for HCCPA 2519 and HCCPA 2520.

If you're wishing to speak, please come forward.

Good evening, Cammy Corbett with the law firm of Hill Ward and Henderson.

I don't really have anything else to add here.

It's pretty straightforward.

These are little add-on pieces to the council zoning that you've already approved, and you'll see our rezoning in a few months that shows that we're not adding any units actually to the PD.

We're just kind of adding the acreage.

So I'm here to answer any questions.

Should you have any questions?

Not seeing anyone else.

Um we do have to vote on these separately.

What's the pleasure of the board?

Move approval.

Second.

So we have to vote on them separately.

Thank you.

Please record your vote.

We had a um motion by Commissioner Wistel and a second by Commissioner Myers for HCCPA 2519.

Motion carried six to zero.

On C2.

Move approval.

Second.

Sorry, the confusion was we thought the presentation was for both.

That's what I was advised.

So that's why I moved forward.

So I'm sorry if you would like this second one presented.

Um that's the decision of the board.

If you'd like to hear the presentation, then staff can give the presentation.

I apologize.

I thought it was uh combined, but if you'd like to proceed with the presentation, they can okay.

I think we should no one come back and say we did not.

Okay, so then item C2 is HCCPA 25-20, which will be presented by Alexis Myers.

Thank you.

Good evening, Commissioners.

Alexis Myers Plan the Commission staff here to present HCCPA 25 uh 20 located at 4950 Southworth Road.

This is a privately initiated map amendment that is small in scale and approximately 10.01 acres.

The applicant is requesting the change of future land use designation from agricultural rural one to five to residential four.

This is the general location map.

Uh, this amendment is associated with HCCPA 2519 to expand the urban service area.

It is in the rural area and within the limit the limits of the South Shore Airwise Systems Plan and Wawama Village Community Plan.

It is located north of Saffold Road and west of County Road 579.

Here is the area of the site.

The site is online in pink, and the blue line indicates the urban service area boundary.

Here's some photos of the site.

This is looking north of the subject site from Saffold Road.

This is looking north as well.

Um, to the single family use on the subject site.

This is looking west of the subject site from Saffold Road, and this is facing east of the subject site from Safford Road.

And then this is on the subject site looking north.

Currently, the future land use designation is agricultural rule one to five.

Um, the agriculture rule one of five category allows one uh dwelling unit per five gross acres, and a maximum fluoride ratio of 0.25.

This does a designation allows for the consideration of farms, ranches, V lots, residential neighborhood commercial offices, uh, industrial uses related to agricultural uses and mining related activities.

Other future land use categories shown in this map include natural preservation and agricultural one at 10.

The applicant is opposing to amend the future land use category to residential four.

The residential four category allows four dwelling units per gross acre and a maximum flora ratio of 0.25.

This designation allows for the consideration of agricultural, residential, neighborhood commercial, office uses, and multi-purpose projects.

Next are the impacts.

As far as the existing conditions, currently under AR 1 to 5, the site could consider up to two dwelling units or 109,08 square feet of non-residential uses.

Under the proposed future land use designation of res four, the site could consider up to 40 uh dwelling units or 109,000 and eight square feet of non-residential uses.

During the rezoning process, uh commercial and locational criteria may affect the allowable square footage for potential non-residential development.

The proposed amendment will result in the increase in development potential by allowing higher residential density.

This is the consistency review.

The proposed amendment is also consistent uh with South with the South Shore Airwise Systems Community Plan and Waiwamid Village Community Plan, as well as the livable communities element.

With this, planning commission recommends that the proposed map amendment be filed consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the unincorporated Hillsborough County Comprehensive Plan.

And this concludes my presentation.

Thank you.

Again, thank you, Miss Myers.

Uh, sorry for the confusion.

Um, would the applicant like to come forward?

Okay, thank you.

This is a public hearing.

Anyone wishing to come forward and speak on CPA 2520.

Seeing none, what's the pleasure of the board?

Move approval.

I hear a motion by Commissioner Cohen and a second by Commissioner Myers.

Please record your vote.

Motion carried six to zero.

Okay.

We will now adjourn the comprehensive plan amendment public hearing and begin the land development code amendment public hearing.

The board of county commissioners will consider the adoption of the amendment to the land development code.

The board will vote on the proposed amendment after the close of the public hearing.

I will now request that the development services department staff introduce the land development code amendment of this evening's agenda.

Good evening.

Uh Israel Monsanto Development Services.

Um land development code 25126 updates to the well head and surface water protection area.

This uh the purpose of this proposed land development code amendment is to update regulations associated with the well head on surface water protections to reflect the proposed updated maps requested in AC CPA 2516 that were um adopted earlier by this board today to provide clarity to the existing land development co-language and align the review frequency with the Tampa Bay Waters Master Plan uh updates.

Uh these will consolidate the regulations of the for the removal of the uh WRPA zone one, improve the current land development code text from 30500.

Um it will also remove the WRPA zone one areas delineated in the map since there has been no new public portable water supply wells constructed in this zone since its adoption 2021 years ago, uh, nor are there any future plans to do so.

And lastly, we'll provide flexibility for the county to review and provide map updates between review cycles to propose the rule RPA or or SWRPA designation for future or additional sources of drinking water when discovered.

Uh, no significant changes since the first public hearing, and this concludes my presentation.

Um Savi Savel, if you have any questions.

Thank you very much.

This is a public hearing.

Anyone wishing to speak, please come forward.

Seeing no one in the queue for discussion, pleasure.

Move approval.

Second.

I have a motion by Commissioner Whistle, second by Commissioner Cohen.

Please record your vote on LDC 251126.

Motion carried six to zero.

Any other business?

We are adjourned.
