Commission finds proposed Office‑Commercial 20 map amendment inconsistent for West State Road 60 parcel
Summary
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended HCCPA‑25‑01 (2002 W State Road 60) be found inconsistent; staff concluded the requested change to OC‑20 would increase density and intensity incompatible with the surrounding rural area.
Planning Commission staff recommended April 14 that a privately initiated map amendment at 2002 W State Road 60 (HCCPA‑25‑01) be found inconsistent with the Hillsborough County Comprehensive Plan; commissioners unanimously agreed.
Staff presenter Tyrique Royal described the 9.5‑acre site and explained that a change from Residential‑1 to Office‑Commercial‑20 (OC‑20) would increase the allowable residential density from 1 dwelling unit per acre to 20 dwelling units per acre and raise the maximum non‑residential floor‑area ratio. Staff found the change inconsistent with rural‑area guidance in Objective 1.4 and policies intended to protect low‑density character and neighborhood compatibility.
Applicant counsel Todd Pressman said the site adjoins several intensive uses and that the proposed OC‑20 would support agricultural support and office or community commercial uses appropriate to the corridor. He argued the existing on‑site activity qualifies as an agricultural support use and said State Road 60 is a busy principal arterial suitable for higher intensity.
Commission discussion was brief. Commissioner Kona moved to find the map amendment inconsistent; the motion carried unanimously. The commission’s recommendation means the amendment will not be transmitted as consistent with the comprehensive plan.
