HCCPA 25‑35 and HCCPA 25‑36, companion requests to expand the Urban Service Area by about 34 acres at 6210 County Road 579 and to change future land use from Residential‑4 to Suburban Mixed Use 6, were both found consistent and forwarded by unanimous vote.

Planning staff said the site is contiguous to the existing USA, meets the comp plan criteria for expansion, and lies within a corridor identified for commercial and industrializing uses; staff recommended consistency for both the USA expansion and the SMU‑6 land‑use change while noting wetlands and evacuation‑zone considerations and that part of the parcel was intentionally excluded from the request to protect environmental/open‑space resources.

Applicant counsel Jake Kramer emphasized that part of the parcel was carved out as open space and that PD conditions and utility connections were already required by earlier approvals. Nearby residents at Buster Bean Drive and Mango Road expressed concern that rezoning could enable industrial uses to extend up to their back yards and increase truck traffic; the applicant replied access to Buster Bean will not be granted and committed to a community meeting and PD conditions.

Commissioners noted the area’s existing industrial and commercial intensity (landfill, Amazon, trucking and recycling operations) and the technical nature of the USA expansion. Both items will go to the Board of County Commissioners with the Planning Commission’s consistency recommendation.
