The project is served by a single right-in-right-out access on US 41, and traffic analysis shows all study segments and intersections will operate at adequate levels of service at buildout, though some intersections are projected to approach capacity limits.
COM-100 — Townhome development with multiple units (front-loaded and rear-loaded configurations), clubhouse, pool area, play area, and associated infrastructure
This case involves a Planned Development master plan for the US 41 Town Homes project featuring townhome units on parcels with mixed zoning (C2 and AR1 districts). The project includes multiple parcels along US 41 with varying current zoning designations and proposes a comprehensive development with townhome buildings, infrastructure, and open space.
MPUD-100 — Residential single family attached townhomes (171 units)
This case involves a Planned Development amendment for a 23.67-acre residential project in Pasco County planning to develop 171 townhome units on US 41. The project includes both front-loaded and rear-loaded units with specified setbacks, buffers, and amenity areas per the master plan.
TAZ-225 — Townhomes (US-41 Townhomes MPUD)
This rezoning petition seeks to reinstate and establish a Master Planned Unit Development (MPUD) for a 23.67-acre townhome project near US-41 and Carriker Road in Pasco County. The property contains wetlands (1.73 acres) and will be subject to environmental permitting requirements including gopher tortoise surveys and coordination with the Southwest Florida Water Management District. Developers should note this is an expired MPUD being renewed and will require compliance with extensive conditions including habitat surveys for protected species, landscape buffers, and neighborhood parks.
PDD22-7570 — 171 platted townhome units
Clarke Property MPUD (West) rezoning approved by BCC on 12/7/21 for maximum 410 single-family dwelling units. The subject site, previously platted for 387 units under expired Caliente MPUD entitlements, is now proposed as a standalone US-41 Townhomes MPUD for 171 townhome units on primarily undeveloped land. Roadway and utility impacts have been assessed as acceptable with standard conditions of approval.
PDE26-050 — Private helicopter landing pad for occasional personal transportation
The applicants are requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CU26-06) to operate a privately owned helicopter landing pad on their 17-acre agricultural property in Dade City. The proposal includes two public hearings before the Planning Commission (August 6, 2026) and Board of County Commissioners (September 9, 2026) to allow occasional personal helicopter operations meeting county and FAA requirements.
PDE26-0777 — Temporary moratorium on large-scale data centers (with exceptions for server rooms internal to buildings)
This case involved a temporary moratorium on large-scale data centers in Pasco County, with discussion of a proposed data center project at the Double Branch Complex. The moratorium is intended to allow the county time to research and establish regulations for data center development, which could significantly impact future commercial real estate opportunities in the county.
PDE26-7927 — Amusement Park
This case involves combining two previously approved conditional use permits (CU12-07 & CU19-01) into one unified permit for an amusement park on 118 acres in an Agricultural-Classified district in North Central Pasco County. The project has been operating for 12 years with the prior permits and was approved by the Planning Commission.
PDE26-7901 — rezoning
This case involves a low-density development project in a rural area with significant environmental and infrastructure concerns raised by residents, including impacts to Ryals Branch, wetlands, stormwater, and existing dirt roads. The project involves a Euclidean Zoning request affecting Future Land Use density and has generated substantial public opposition regarding flooding, drainage, and community character.
PDE26-1016 — Private Residential Helicopter Landing Pad
This is a conditional use request for a private residential helicopter landing pad on a 16.79-acre parcel in an A-C Agricultural District in Northeast Pasco County. The request is for a continuance and has a staff recommendation to approve. This case is likely not relevant to most commercial real estate developers unless they have operations or interests in Northeast Pasco County agricultural areas.
PDE26-0025 — other
This case involves amendments to Section 408 of the Pasco County Code establishing a process for reasonable accommodations requests under the Fair Housing Act and ADA requirements. The decision authority was modified so that the Planning Commission makes accommodation determinations while the County Administrator determines disability eligibility, with both mailed and sign notice required for decisions. This impacts developers and property owners seeking reasonable accommodations for disabilities in land use applications.
PDE25-0193 — text_amendment
This ordinance amends multiple sections of the Pasco County Land Development Code, affecting public notice requirements, conditional uses, variances, and zoning districts across agricultural, residential, and multiple-family classifications. The changes establish new standards for community residential homes and reasonable accommodations, which could impact land use approvals and development requirements throughout the county. Developers should review the specific amendments to understand how they affect project eligibility and approval criteria in their target zoning districts.
PDE26-0356 — comprehensive_plan_amendment
This case involves a Comprehensive Plan text amendment to Subarea Policy FLU 7.1.34 for the Palmetto Ridge Planned Development. The amendment was recommended for approval and processed through the consent agenda, indicating staff support for the changes to the underlying plan policies.
PDE26-2112 — rezoning
This rezoning request seeks to change approximately 1.03 acres at the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and Keena Street from C-1 Neighborhood Commercial to C-2 General Commercial zoning. The case was continued to an uncertain date, so the hearing did not proceed at the scheduled 2026-08-06 meeting.
RZ-4012 — Flex industrial building (6,927 sq ft)
A property owner is seeking a variance to reduce the required 75-foot side setback to 15 feet on a C-3 zoned parcel (0.576 acres) to accommodate a proposed 6,927 sq ft flex industrial building, given the property's narrow 100-foot width. The variance is necessary for the site plan approval to proceed, as strict setback compliance would render the property economically undevelopable.
