Commission approves rezoning to agriculture‑residential for Riverview Drive parcels
Summary
The Board approved rezoning of parcels on Riverview Drive from R‑1C to AR to allow hobby‑farm uses; staff and the planning and zoning commission recommended approval.
Hernando County commissioners on Oct. 7 voted unanimously to rezone several parcels on Riverview Drive from R‑1C (single‑family) to AR (agriculture‑residential) at the request of owners Andy Garcia Rivera and Samuel Medina Rivera (file H2519).
Staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval. Planners said the area is undergoing a transition and that the applicants proposed hobby‑farm uses; the request was consistent with the rural land use designation. The applicants said they intended to use the property for small‑scale agricultural activities such as poultry and hobby farming and that no immediate timeline for home development was specified.
Commissioners discussed parcel configuration and advised the applicants on merging lots and permitting for accessory structures. The board approved the rezoning 4‑0.
