Board of County Commissioners - June 22, 2026

The Citrus County Board of County Commissioners held a regular meeting on June 22, 2026, which included significant discussions on land use, zoning, and infrastructure projects. A major procurement-related topic was the consideration of the Holder Industrial Park rezoning and expansion application by the Deltona Corporation. The board addressed a request for continuance of this application, which had been previously denied by the Planning and Development Commission (PDC). After extensive public comments opposing the continuance and the rezoning due to environmental, infrastructure, and community concerns, the board voted 5-0 to deny the continuance, keeping the final hearing scheduled for July 14, 2026. Additionally, the board approved a $3 million grant application to update law enforcement radios, enhancing public safety communications. The meeting also included approval to transmit a comprehensive plan amendment for the County Road 486 Interchange Management Area, aimed at guiding future development with specific land use and infrastructure policies. Furthermore, the board adopted updates to the Land Development Code, including reinstating requirements for Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) for asphalt and concrete batch plants to ensure greater oversight and environmental protection. These actions reflect the board's focus on balancing development with community and environmental concerns, infrastructure improvements, and public safety enhancements.
