# Joint Planning Commission-City Council Meeting (10-20-2026)

The City of Zephyrhills Joint Planning Commission–City Council workshop on October 20, 2026, focused on land use, growth, housing, and economic development. Procurement-related items included city bike racks for Pasco transit stations, which were reported as being manufactured and shipped; no vendor or cost was stated. The meeting also noted that the Pasco County Board of County Commissioners had approved approximately $2.4 million for an AmSkills workforce-training facility, including land acquisition and staffing. Zephyrhills officials discussed advocating for the facility to locate in the city and identifying a suitable site, but no city purchase or funding commitment was approved. A potential local-government membership costing $500 per year was also discussed in connection with workforce training, without a recorded decision to join.

Officials discussed developing regulations for data centers, including possible zoning limits, residential buffers, public hearings, and review of water, electricity, noise, and stormwater impacts. They also considered housing and development policies involving lot layouts, parking, accessory dwelling units and related fees, annexation, and conservation easements or transfers of development rights; staff may bring forward further research and options. The transcript records no formal motions or votes on city procurement or spending.
