Planning and Development Commission Board - July 16, 2026

The Citrus County Planning and Development Commission held a public hearing on July 16, 2026, primarily to review a conditional use application (CU-2026-00006) for an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on a parcel of approximately 9.6 acres. The applicant sought approval for an ADU of 1,377 square feet, which complies with county zoning regulations for parcels over 5 acres. The Commission discussed site plans, driveway access, and compliance with local codes before unanimously approving the conditional use. Additionally, staff provided updates on upcoming projects, including two planned unit developments (PUDs) and a data center ordinance currently under review, with a workshop anticipated in the fall. The discussion also touched on potential state-level legislation that could impact local regulation of data centers, which may affect future county planning efforts.
