Commissioners approve special exception for TNG to store wholesale fiberglass with modified review condition
Summary
After debate over numeric limits on hours and employees, the board approved Special Exception 25‑63 for TNG to use existing warehouses for wholesale fiberglass storage on Garza Road, adding a condition that substantial changes to use or operations must be reviewed by planning and zoning (and site development if required).
The board approved a special exception allowing TNG to use existing structures on two parcels along Garza Road for wholesale fiberglass storage and limited on-site operations. Planning staff told the board the proposed use is consistent with the Hardee County Unified Land Development Code (section 90804) and recommended approval with conditions limited to a standard work week and restricted employees/deliveries — subject to later site-development review for any changes.
Commissioners questioned specific numeric conditions, including a suggested 40‑hour workweek and a 2–4 employee limit. Several commissioners said those fixed numeric limits could hinder growth and instead asked that any substantial modifications to operations be reviewed by planning and zoning and be subject to site-development review if necessary. The board agreed to modify condition 2 accordingly.
A motion to approve Special Exception 25‑63 for TNG with the modified conditions was made, seconded (by Commissioner Wells), and the chair called the roll. The motion passed unanimously. The adopted condition requires that any substantial changes to the use or operation be reviewed and determined by the planning-and-zoning department and, where appropriate, a site-development plan will be required.
