4:33P sixty six. Proof of publication, Tampa Bay Times, September 17, 2025, P sixty-six.

4:43Good afternoon, Commissioner Starise Hernandez with the Code Compliance Department. Item P66, just to let you know, this is a glitch amendment. Today we are not I am not asking for a um for any action from the board, just to please uh take public comment. And this is the Land Development Code Amendment 80. It is an ordinance by the Pasco County Board of County Commissioners amending the Pasco County Land Development Code, Section 530.5, parking or storing of recreational vehicles,

5:13Section 530.16, parking and storage of commercial vehicles and commercial equipment in certain residential areas prohibited, and other sections as necessary for internal consistency, providing for applicability, repealer, providing for severability, inclusion into land development code, and an effective date. Mm-hmm. Again, this is Land Development Code Amendment 80. These were presented to the Horizontal Roundtable and Interested Parties meeting on September 17, 2025. They did provide comment and we made changes based on the comments that were provided. On October 2nd,

5:432025, the local planning agency found the proposed amendments consistent with the Pasco County Comprehensive Plan. And going through these amendments fairly quickly because these are just glitches and these are items that came about as a result of a code compliance case. The first change is in Chapter 500 zoning, section 530, 530.5, parking and storing of recreational vehicles. We just wanted to make it absolutely abundantly clear that parking and storing of recreational vehicles

6:14are not allowed over the right-of-way in any zoning district. Previously, it just called out that there were certain zoning districts where it was prohibited in. That was clearly a get a glitch. It should be that it's not allowed in any right-of-way of any zoning district within Pasco County. Yeah. The following uh portion is five thirty point six parking and storage of recreational vehicles and parking and storage storage of commercial vehicles, sorry, and commercial equipment in residential areas. That was also

6:44a glitch. We wanted to make sure that MPUD Master Plan Unit Development District was in there. PUD Plan Unit Development District was in there, but not MPUD. That should have always been in there. Also include the pat the county owned right-of-way. And then this is one of the concerns that the horizontal roundtable had that it might Prohibit um the uh usage of commer that stating that uh someone is not in compliance if they're parking a a commercial vehicle in a commercially zoned

7:15portion of an MPUD. And we want to make it clear that that's not a violation, that that's okay. So those are the changes that we're making. Again, today we're not asking for any um action from you. Just please accept public comment. And this is set for adoption on November 12, 2025 at 1.30 PM in Dade City. And I'm here for any questions that you may have.

7:38Well, I this is another God speed on this because we're fixing some big problems that are happening. If you if you ever drive on rangeland in Starkey Ranch, um people are parking. Their commercial Trucks and boats and all their work vehicles on our roads. They've got campers. They're you they're using our parking spaces uh instead of putting them in in storage places. So um,

8:06yeah, and as Commissioner Starkey stated, uh and I do want to mention, I do want to thank uh both Sam Boundy and Elizabeth Blair uh for their assistant with assistance with this. It's been very they've been very helpful. Maybe we

8:18can

8:18speak.

8:19Huh? No one's signed it.

8:20Oh

8:20no one signed it. And there's no action right here. Can I just ask a question? Yeah, we'll take public.

8:25Yeah. Go

8:26ahead. Okay. So if someone, let's say they work for Stanley Steamer and that's their work vehicle, are they allowed to park it in their driveway?

8:34No. Yeah. That's parking a commercial vehicle in a residential district.

8:39Gotcha.

8:41Um I think it I think it depends on what it is. What it they can park it while they're doing business. So like for example, let's say they're cleaning the carpet or doing some type of cleaning in that location, they can park it while they're doing that, but not park it overnight.

8:56So some people that are just struggling getting on their feet and they they work for a company, they'll give them a company trust. To use just as transportation to get to and from work and stuff like that. So in that instance, they're not servicing their home, but they're using that as transportation to get to work.

9:11They could park it inside the garage. Somewhere where it's not visible. Um it but the just to just to clarify, the code is not changing that. It's always been that way. So it's not We're not modifying it to make it that way.

9:24So they can't park their work vehicle in the driveway.

9:28And like both the whole state. Um

9:32Um what was I just gonna say? Um we have people parking semi trucks. Uh Mr. Carbal and I were driving around their parking semi trucks in our parking spaces. So um in in front of um our blueberry farm that's you know being um developed, we have three Um right now we have three storage trailers that the kind you hook behind your truck to move or you know, but and they say advertise

10:03here and they've been there for months sitting in our parking spaces. Um I say they're abandoned and we should tow them, but Um okay, so is there anyone else here who would like to speak to this ordinance today?
