Panel grants two‑year temporary RV permit after applicant says mobile home was stolen
Summary
The Planning & Zoning Commission approved a two‑year conditional use permit (CU2504) allowing an RV as temporary housing for Blair Hottinger through Sept. 8, 2027, after staff recommended leniency due to hardships and the applicant confirmed a police report on the missing mobile home.
The Hernando County Planning & Zoning Commission approved a two‑year conditional use permit (CU2504) to allow an RV as a temporary residence at a Ridge Road property after staff recommended a longer permit period based on hardship. Planning staff recommended a two‑year permit through Sept. 8, 2027, with conditions: the RV must remain unmodified (no attachments), meet R1A setbacks, connect to the property well and septic under Florida Department of Health requirements, and be subject to county inspections.
At the podium, petitioner Blair Hottinger said he had been working to replace a mobile home that was dismantled and not delivered. When asked whether a police report had been filed, Hottinger replied, “Yes… they found it, but it was so badly damaged that it would have cost me more to move it.” Planning staff said the longer two‑year period was intended to give the petitioner time to secure permanent housing; the commission approved the two‑year permit on a motion citing hardship.
The approval includes county‑inspection authority and standard performance conditions intended to protect public health and neighborhood character. The commission recorded no public opposition during the hearing.
Next steps: the petitioner must comply with the permit’s performance conditions, connect utilities as required, and remain available for any required county inspections.
