Board approves Boyette Road plan amendment, defers rezoning vote until companion PD; applicants agree to reduce eastern parcel
Summary
The board found HCCPA 24‑28 (Boyette Road) consistent with the comprehensive plan and voted to transmit the plan amendment after the applicant agreed to remove a 500‑foot southeastern portion to provide a transition buffer. The companion PD rezoning to allow 62 single‑family homes was presented concurrently and staff recommended consistency; both items moved forward with conditions and votes recorded.
Hillsborough County planning staff presented HCCPA 24‑28, a privately initiated map amendment to change a 24.93‑acre parcel at 18116 Boyette Road from Residential 2 to Residential 4. Staff said the parcel is inside the urban service area and within the South Shore area‑wide systems community plan; the proposed change would increase theoretical density on the site from 49 to 90 dwelling units under Res‑4 but the applicant submitted a plan recalibrating density after agreeing to remove a 500‑foot southeastern strip (about 2.33 acres) to provide a stepped transition to adjacent rural areas.
Applicant Michael Brooks and counsel explained they are not seeking maximum density in the associated PD and that the design includes buffers, an internal loop road, and stormwater ponds along the western edge to serve as a buffer between the site and existing neighborhoods. The zoning hearing master recommended rezoning the ~25‑acre parcel from AR and PD zoning districts to a plan development allowing up to 62 single‑family detached units; no plan development variations were requested.
Public comment was minimal on this item; the applicant said transportation capacity and utilities are available and that the PD will address detailed engineering and any required improvements. Planning commission staff found the CPA and the concurrent rezoning consistent with the comprehensive plan subject to the proposed conditions and recommended approval.
Board action: The board moved and approved the adoption/transmittal for CPA 24‑28 and recorded votes showing motions carried 7–0 for both the plan amendment and the companion rezoning (RZ 24‑0707). Staff and the applicant noted the PD stage will address mobility fees and any required public improvements and that the CPA does not itself authorize construction.
Next steps: The PD application will return to the board as it progresses through zoning and site plan review, where specific conditions, road improvements and any required mitigation measures will be considered.
