Zoning: Staff says no to horse center
KEYSTONE: Zoning staff are recommending denial of a request to allow a horse farm and equestrian events center on 39 acres off Huckavalle Road, north of Tarpon Springs Road. If approved, the rezoning would allow horse breeding, horse shows, summer camps, concession sales and boarding and stables for up to 257 horses. But in their recommendation to county commissioners, staffers said the equestrian center would "create intense peak periods of traffic activity" on Huckavalle and nearby rural roads during special events. They also wrote that the horse facility would be too intense for the surrounding rural community. The zoning hearing master will hear the proposal Tuesday. (Petition 02-0053)
