Derek Walters of Catalyst Design Group, representing Hilltop 408 LLC, described the filing as a reestablishment of a previously approved plan for an 11,500-square-foot freestanding emergency room on a 1.75-acre parcel near the intersection of Spring Hill Drive and Dearing Avenue. The Planning & Zoning Commission had recommended approval 5-0 and staff also recommended reapproval without modification.

Commissioners asked county counsel and administrators to research an operational issue raised by several elected officials: whether hospital systems that operate freestanding emergency rooms should be required to arrange private transport between their urgent-care/ER sites and their full-service hospitals rather than rely on county emergency medical services for inter-facility transfer. Commissioner Laca said the county's EMS system had previously experienced excessive \"wall time\" at hospitals and that private facilities should not require county EMS to provide prolonged transfer duties.

County counsel said the request is not a land-use condition that can be imposed under the current review process and would likely require changes to county policy or appendix requirements; staff agreed to research options and report back. The board approved the reestablishment of the master plan 4-0. Petitioner representatives said they would comply with required landscaping and buffer standards in the code and that shared access agreements exist to address circulation and emergency access.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Hernando County - Board of County Commissioners on 2025-04-03 9:00 AM - Land Use Hearings - Apr 03, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board reestablished a 2019-vetted master plan for a 11,500-square-foot freestanding emergency room associated with HCA on Spring Hill Drive and asked staff to investigate whether private facilities should be required to arrange inter-facility transport instead of relying on county EMS.","taxTitle","Hernando County, Florida","taxId",2876,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6613616,"Commissioners approve Shoreline Boulevard dry-storage site with screening, fencing and tree-planting conditions",520,7200000,7720000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2869941-04830f4f0a32f5abecd96cc8a7d802c5&start=7200&end=7720","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2869941-04830f4f0a32f5abecd96cc8a7d802c5/thumbnail_7200000.jpg","/articles/6613616/Hernando-County/Florida/Commissioners-approve-Shoreline-Boulevard-dry-storage-site-with-screening-fencing-and-tree-planting-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6613616-441ba503c96b67fc51ae7785aec60d44/orig.mp4?Expires=1771143502&Signature=PyEn8tGCIzI6GB~qvGGXvAg1j6NVab4XkoSkV7P1WXhyIuIPfu5G68zkGeS5euqpTFbtTkAJSDrdRThXt6qa2CxyJZfpk3IXSYQ3dIlbi1LKlWB6E7jB-EmokJCq01rbS6tPlEu6e4LH6GmoK9pH7NJSyM7SDZXFU4tZt4mmiPoVV2j4~mI1JlIoV9Kva~b2brtdoGJ6H147uC-mOUqMZGPtGnOL-ZJF-ecNRm-8xE7bJf~vBQ-lLwBD30MmsSEqX4~ulOpw9SJy71hXz~iJU2lZYAKtVTfuiQG4oMp~AL1Owb1rx9dwN5u6Y2-NeZtPD4Dso9qRKFQvD1TagJErOA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hernando County Board of County Commissioners approved a plan development commercial marine rezoning for a Shoreline Boulevard property to accommodate dry boat storage, subject to added screening and fencing requirements intended to reduce visual and flood-related nuisance risks.

Staff explained that a straight CM-1 zoning district would not permit the board to impose performance conditions, so the Planning & Zoning Commission converted the original request into a planned development commercial marine district with specific permitted uses and conditions. The Commission recommended that approach 5-0, and the board adopted staff's recommendation with added conditions on fencing and landscaping.

Commissioner Olaka and other commissioners noted the area’s history of boats and floating debris during storm events and asked for robust screening. The board required a chain-link fence with slats, darker (earth-tone) colors rather than white, and a planting buffer with trees to increase visual opacity. The board and petitioner discussed fence height; the board settled on a six-foot fence supplemented by planting to increase visual screening rather than an eight-foot barrier.

Local residents and commissioners also discussed enforcement and responsibility when boats or other vessels float off private storage during storms. Several commissioners said a change to county code could be needed so marinas bear responsibility when boats from their facilities become debris hazards; counsel advised that mechanism would likely require an ordinance change rather than being achievable through a single rezoning condition.

Petitioner David Greiner confirmed the proposal is for dry storage only. The board voted 4-0 to adopt the planned development zoning with the stated screening and fencing conditions.","The board approved a rezoning to a plan development commercial marine zoning to allow dry boat storage on Shoreline Boulevard and attached conditions requiring chain-link fencing with slats, darker colors and landscape screening to reduce visual impacts.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6613620,"Rezoning for Linden Drive auto dealership continued to May 6 after applicant absence",507,5254000,5761000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2869941-04830f4f0a32f5abecd96cc8a7d802c5&start=5254&end=5761","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2869941-04830f4f0a32f5abecd96cc8a7d802c5/thumbnail_5254000.jpg","/articles/6613620/Hernando-County/Florida/Rezoning-for-Linden-Drive-auto-dealership-continued-to-May-6-after-applicant-absence","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6613620-a91e9350ceca6127a7569794d43caf10/orig.mp4?Expires=1771143502&Signature=QVlU8nZrQ~VU1Bs6C2yMw7Ff1ubE2SbPfcDq1bieSQa6sHdInssyEZ0yrUFQPbI8Fd1vgXr-7l9A2PNb99plBW7p6mbhwzfuDBkKidl2g7Va-Xr0sWmzu1H1niMeS3I6rQUeaYDVHnXq9cTMR4ADZX9qloHe-5IXP5DaLR66I9kYSwH6AStH9FCAbiL-iU34-EU~6e-IIouC95gCDVo9thiT939kUkW3jbqT731SJsb5CWgaIywNxM8d1JW9Q2HQYLKpf0WFqAxRBNR-xvSWLwgMA75Xe0XEnT5MmPexBfx1IGlf62dNiyP568qQTjAtvzZFlJhdVFkFHEmVZZk7tw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hernando County Board of County Commissioners agreed to continue a rezoning request for property on Linden Drive to the May 6 land-use hearing after the petitioner was not present for the public hearing.

Staff described the request as a rezoning from Planned Development Project General Highway Commercial to Planned Development Project General Commercial to allow an automobile dealership (used-vehicle sales) on a 0.9-acre parcel near Spring Hill Drive. The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval 5-0 and staff recommended approval with performance conditions.

Neighbors who spoke at the hearing said the property’s existing chain-link fence and visible vehicle storage were degrading the appearance of the nearby residential block. \"Could we at least get some kind of requirement to put some slats on that chain-link fence? Because it's bringing down the neighborhood,\" said resident Don Johnson.

Because the applicant was not present and three commissioners indicated they preferred the petitioner be present for a quasi-judicial hearing, the board set the matter for the next available land-use hearing, May 6. The motion to continue to May 6 passed 4-0.

The board’s continuance preserves the Planning & Zoning record; when the applicant appears on May 6 the board will again take public comment and may adopt staff and P&Z conditions or take other action.","A request to rezone a 0.9-acre Linden Drive parcel to allow used-vehicle dealership and a mobile office was put over to the May 6 land-use hearing after the applicant did not appear.

The petitioner, Revard Development LLC, sought to revive an earlier master plan that carried entitlements from a 2019 approval. At the Planning & Zoning Commission the applicant agreed to increase previously approved 5-foot side setbacks to 7.5 feet for certain smaller lots; the applicant's representative, Kyle Bridal of Bendelon, told the board the revised plan also increases many lot widths so the smallest lot in the new layout is 55 feet wide. \"The smallest lot width is 55 feet,\" Bridal said, adding the project will still achieve the vested unit count tied to the earlier approval.

Several neighbors urged additional protections. Residents described repeated flooding in the area and asked for details about how stormwater would be managed if new homes and roadways replace parts of the old golf course. \"We just don't know what the water plan is for this new development,\" said Clearview resident Lee Beavers, raising concerns about past storm flooding on the golf course that many neighbors use informally as retention area.

Developer and builder representatives said current engineering and permitting would upgrade stormwater infrastructure and that any new phase would be master-graded and engineered to modern standards. Builder Chris Glover, who said his company has purchased lots and intends to develop under the reestablished vesting, told commissioners the civil engineering and permit submittals before the county account for drainage, roadway construction and site grading.

Commissioners pressed for clarity on parking and circulation in the proposed neighborhood. Commissioner Lako asked whether the proposal included dedicated visitor or \"holiday\" parking to prevent on-street parking from blocking emergency access; the petitioner said lot widths and driveway sizes in the new layout should reduce visitor parking on streets.

On the Planning & Zoning Commission's recommendation and subject to the performance conditions recommended by staff, the board approved the resolution reestablishing the master plan by a unanimous vote. The motion passed 4-0 (Amsler, Alaco, Champion and Vice Chairman Campbell: aye). The board specified the revised setback standard and adopted the plan submitted with the agreed changes as the zoning basis for future platting and engineering review.","The board voted 4-0 to reestablish a previously vested master plan (referred to in the hearing as the Revar/Rivard master plan) after the petitioner agreed to planning commission recommendations about lot setbacks and reconfigured lots with wider widths.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_46":116,"_48":117,"_50":118,"_52":119,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":120,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":121,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6613629,"Hernando County commissioners approve Pinery Community Development District for 1,072-acre project",1479,858000,2337000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2869941-04830f4f0a32f5abecd96cc8a7d802c5&start=858&end=2337","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2869941-04830f4f0a32f5abecd96cc8a7d802c5/thumbnail_858000.jpg","/articles/6613629/Hernando-County/Florida/Hernando-County-commissioners-approve-Pinery-Community-Development-District-for-1072-acre-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6613629-29935ff3ecb663eaa69f7b15b7183c43/orig.mp4?Expires=1771143502&Signature=a8Pzm~AJ4dH8Ztvnj5aDrmgf9iVz2MwwIcvWtYAW2~8n9FfJsEPt3SSCfEcl3Ti-NEn3AqWT7SPjWLMkh~4B~seIqBF~QIzzdyQv9EuUrxGELeseY~wFk43NONR20r9f85p91mYLYgxgqap4FKQlzShSfqwg9psT-rdXfPB9hdyY0yp3nPaK9LJCt7pNWGX61AcbxouvnlzAaGSx7FzhclvfDw3l3K5Dpt~hqUI6RWint2iLkpqX3uAwhAewQ1NlpuJDwrWY9BIbJ6r3Wk2y14bLx-R1WM0m~~yE01v9MCQIcyNvkIPPv9unq832XzIaaRwFGqpu1YS~HmeNrQOxvA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hernando County Board of County Commissioners voted 4-0 to adopt Ordinance No. 2025-04 on the petition to establish the Pinery Community Development District, a proposed special-purpose unit covering roughly 1,072 acres east of Mayberry Road.

The CDD petition was filed by SV Tampa Land LP. The district, commonly referred to in public remarks as the Seville or The Dunes project, would be used to finance and operate public infrastructure — utilities, stormwater, roads and other internal improvements — for a large residential development that speakers said could ultimately include thousands of units.

County staff and the petitioner framed the hearing as a limited decision about the financing and maintenance entity rather than project layout. \"What we're talking about today is what sort of entity is going to [finance and] operate maintenance of the infrastructure,\" said Jarrett Earlywine of QTAC Brock, representing the petitioner. Earlywine and other petitioner representatives noted the CDD is authorized under Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes and that the petition met the county's statutory criteria.

Opponents and nearby residents who spoke raised concerns about public safety, flood control, traffic and home sizes. \"We don't see law enforcement there now,\" said resident Ken Sedario, describing the existing neighborhood and expressing worry about policing if thousands of new homes are built nearby. Resident Michael Katane asked about minimum home sizes and how new construction would relate to 14 existing lots adjacent to the project.

Commissioner Champion said he is wary of CDDs and how their assessments affect homeowners over time, saying, \"I hate CDD fees. I hate these things because they stick with the community forever.\" Petitioner representatives and county staff responded that a CDD places assessment funding into a trustee account and that county taxpayers are not liable for CDD debt; petitioner counsel cited Chapter 190 and said county debt obligations would not arise from the district.

Staff and several speakers explained the property has long-standing entitlements through an earlier, large-scale development approval (a vested DRI/master-plan entitlement). County Development Services Director Omar De Pablo described existing public infrastructure in the area: an access road from U.S. 19, a county well field and a pump station and force main that run to a regional wastewater treatment facility. Those existing features affect how the project can be built and how drainage is handled.

The board added a clarifying statement on the record — that if portions of the property were to escheat to the county, the county could return certain parcels to the CDD to avoid carrying costs — and approved the ordinance by roll call vote: Amsler, Alaco, Champion and Vice Chairman Campbell voting \"Aye.\" The motion was made by Commissioner Alaco and seconded by Commissioner Champion.

What the board approved was the CDD entity and related ordinance; detailed project approvals (lot sizes, road realignments, conditional plats) will continue through the county's planning and permitting processes. Petitioner and staff said the first phase already in a conditional plat calls for roughly 708 units, and any future change to entitlements would require a separate master-plan process.

The board's action: ordinance adopted 4-0 to establish the Pinery Community Development District. Public comments and staff clarifications at the hearing focused on law enforcement coverage, drainage and how CDD assessments affect homeowners — items petitioners and staff said will be addressed as the project moves through platting and engineering review.","The Hernando County Board of County Commissioners voted 4-0 to adopt an ordinance establishing the Pinery Community Development District (CDD), a special-purpose unit that will finance and manage infrastructure for a planned residential community east of Mayberry Road.","actionData","errors"]
