Commission approves AS‑1 rezoning for longstanding sod business, omits Type B buffer requirement
Summary
The board rezoned a 3.03‑acre Palm River parcel to AS‑1 with restrictions to regularize a sod/landscape contractor operation, directing that the Type B buffer requirement be reviewed during subsequent conditional use/site‑plan review and omitting it from the rezoning conditions.
Hillsborough County commissioners on March 11 voted 7–0 to rezone a 3.03‑acre parcel on Hartford Street and South 70th Street in Palm River from ASC‑1 to AS‑1 with restrictions to allow a landscape contractor nursery and to resolve citations against the operator.
The rezoning recognizes a long‑running sod and landscaping operation at the site; the applicant and staff agreed to most restrictions but requested that a required Type B buffer be omitted from the rezoning and handled at later site plan/conditional‑use review because of site geometry and operational needs.
