Citrus County approves VA clinic rezoning and PUD, 5‑0
Summary
The board approved a change to the future land‑use map and a Planned Unit Development to allow a new Veterans Affairs clinic adjacent to the Suncoast Parkway interchange; commissioners asked staff to coordinate access changes with FDOT.
The Board unanimously approved a land‑use and zoning change with a Planned Unit Development for a new Veterans Affairs clinic located in the IMA near the Suncoast Parkway interchange.
Melissa Morris, county planner, summarized the application and noted the project meets the new 44 MU land‑use direction and includes required buffers to nearby residences. The applicant presented building materials and facade samples described as faux wood on an extruded aluminum backing; staff and the applicant said they are coordinating with FDOT about potential access changes. Josh Wooten of the Citrus County Chamber spoke in support of the project on behalf of veterans in the community.
Motion and outcome: Commissioner Davis moved approval of CPA/AAPUD 2025‑011 for the VA clinic (with the staff‑recommended conditions, including an FDOT coordination condition); Commissioner Barrick seconded. The vote was 5‑0 in favor.
What happens next: Staff will continue permitting and FDOT coordination. The applicant said site plans are proceeding in parallel with county zoning approvals.
