Okay. So then for P sixty.

We have proof of publication in the June 8, 2025 edition of the Tampa Day Times, supplemented by an affidavit of certified mailings and site post.

Amy Heiler

Good afternoon. Amy Toll with Planning Development and Economic Growth. Item P sixty is a substantial modification to the River Ridge MPD Master Plan Unit Development in the name of River Ridge Homes Inc. It is a rezoning request from MPUD Master Plan Unit Development to MPUD Master Plan Unit Development to allow for the reinstatement of entitlements from the River Ridge DRI. To the River Ridge MPUD, increasing commercial entitlements on parcel K3, increasing

residential entitlements on parcel J and L, decreasing commercial entitlements on parcel I2, increasing the height limit on parcel P2, and associated revisions to the conditions of approval on approximately 1,388.2 acres located in west central Pasco County. County. This comes with a recommendation of approval with conditions, and staff is here with a presentation for that as well. Okay.

Planning and Development staff

Good afternoon. We're in Vermillion Planning Development Economic Growth. I'll try not to belabor some of the stuff that's already been covered. County map, location. Like Miss Hole just said. This is for the the cleanup of the former River Ridge DRI, uh to codify and to move those entitlements and some of those changes now into the River Ridge MPD. Uh this increases the commercial entitlements on parcel K three. by sixty

thousand square feet to a total of 125,000. It increases the residential entitlements on parcel JL by four dwelling units by one townhome block from two fifty-six to two sixty total. It decreases the commercial entitlements on parcel I2. to the county attorney's point, uh when the gentleman last spoke By two hundred and ten square feet and For the clarity of that gentleman, the uses allowed there are only C one, so it's very low intensity neighborhood scale commercial that's gonna occur

on parcel I two. And it does increase the height limit on parcel P two from forty-five feet in height to fifty that was in the previous uh paperwork of the MPUD throughout the years, that height increase and we're simply moving that height increase over to the to this MPUD. Their overall location map.

And the zoning map. The future land use map reflecting the future land use uh that reverted after the DRI rescission back to its original original residential flues. A context map showing the uh you have the Pasco Mernando College there, the elementary school, as well as the high school and the middle school for River Ridge.

This is the MPD master plan to give an overall layout about the parcels that are subject to this modification here today. You can see P2 all the way to the north along Moon Lake Road. And then as you get towards the intersection you can see K three and I two as you move further west.

There's one variation analysis for this MPD from 8056, restrictions on post-development wetlands and upland buffers. This is one we see a lot. This has to do with ownership of common areas. for those uh for those non residential uses to maintain their own uh common areas here.

And to answer Commissioner Weightman's question, condition 46 of this MPUD, we do address live local on the subject parcels.

WeightmanSecond Vice Chair

Mm-hmm. There's no question.

Planning and Development staff

No question. Uh to answer your statement, Commissioner, that that is included. This comes to you with a recommendation of approval from both PDE and the Planning Commission.

StarkeyChair

Okay, or do we have any questions for the I for uh William?

WeightmanSecond Vice Chair

No I think um we'll So the customer in the back.

StarkeyChair

Yeah.

WeightmanSecond Vice Chair

I think Maybe not in the mic or someone talked to him, explain to him the commercial uses, like what's in the C one that way. Will we approve the zoning that the customers have a general idea? What it what it means to them since it's their first time here? Absolutely. I can certainly do that.

MarianoVice Chair

And I don't are you gonna speak David? Or are you going back to the gentleman? All right, um do we want the applicant to make a presentation? Are we good?

Barbara Wilhite

Barbara Wilhide, I was just gonna answer the question, do we know what's going on with I2? No. It's just a paperwork cleanup. So I won didn't want that to go unanswered, but

WeightmanSecond Vice Chair

you want to check and see if he wants to make a comment or not?

StarkeyChair

Um if that gentleman wanted to comment, he can. Now this is this was the issue that you were bringing up, but they're gonna explain to you we down We down

Robert Solfio
