TAMPA — The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners on Jan. 13 handled a full land‑use docket, approving a mix of routine and substantive items by unanimous votes.

After hearing agenda modifications from Brian Grady of Development Services, the board approved the revised agenda and the consent agenda. The board then approved three vacate petitions (C‑1 V24‑0009; C‑2 V24‑0016; C‑3 V25‑0008) to vacate small portions of platted rights‑of‑way or utility easements to resolve encroachments and support redevelopment.

Staff presented a suite of PRS/minor PD modification items (E‑1 through E‑7) affecting projects across the county (examples include a minor modification to a mobile‑home PD on Hall Road, a restaurant‑to‑mixed commercial modification near the I‑4 interchange, and an access/parking modification for a US‑301 parcel). Planning staff recommended approval on these items; applicants were present and no public opposition appeared in most cases. The board approved each by recorded voice votes (motions reported as "carried 7 to 0").

The board also approved several rezonings (including F‑2: F2PD25‑0932 on Fernhill Drive; F‑3: rezoning at MLK and Pine for a grocery‑oriented CG restricted site; F‑4: Lakeside Drive rezoning to RMC‑9 restricted) by unanimous votes. Multiple Community Development District petitions (E‑9 through E‑11), including establishment and expansions for Berry Bay and Watershed South CDDs, were also approved after staff reported statutory compliance.

Most items passed on recorded motions with votes of 7‑0. The meeting closed with further PD/PRS item presentations and board discussion on larger items scheduled later in the hearing.
