At its Jan. 12 meeting the Hillsborough County planning commission received briefings on multiple comprehensive‑plan amendments and heard the executive director’s monthly update.

Megan McCarthy summarized TACPA 25‑18 (3602 West Euclid Avenue), a privately initiated small‑scale map amendment (≈0.29 acres) proposing a change from Residential 20 to Community Mixed Use 35; under CMU35 the parcel could be considered for roughly eight dwelling units and up to 25,264 square feet of nonresidential uses depending on locational criteria.

Quinn Steele briefed commissioners on TACPA 25‑19, a publicly initiated, approx. 11.25‑acre amendment for the Mosey site at 4615 and 4801 East Fowler Avenue to unify the site under a public semi‑public designation; staff described surrounding industrial and public uses and noted that the public semi‑public designation would guide future development based on proposed uses and compatibility.

Emily Phelan presented TACPA 25‑20, a regular‑scale amendment for about 63 acres near the University of South Florida. The applicant amended their request to change a parcel to Community Mixed Use 35 while the remainder is proposed as Urban Mixed Use 60; Phelan said the whole site under UMU60 could be considered for approximately 3,000 dwelling units or more than 8.7 million square feet of nonresidential uses, and that staff will provide adjusted figures at the next hearing after the recent request change.

Executive Director Melissa Zornita highlighted interjurisdictional work, upcoming outreach and hearings, and staff review prompted by recently enacted state legislation (referred to during the meeting as Senate Bill 180) that required reverting some draft language to avoid creating more restrictive requirements than state law permits. Zornita said the draft future land use update will be released to the public Friday ahead of a Feb. 17 public hearing at city council and described upcoming joint meetings with municipal partners.

Commissioners had limited questions on the briefings and thanked staff for the presentations.
