BROOKSVILLE - The county Planning and Zoning Commission on Monday voted to recommend that Thomas Richards, currently a commission alternate, replace Nick Nicholson, who left the board in September.
Nicholson, a board member for seven years, resigned to concentrate on his engineering business. A semiretired insurance professional, Richards lives in Weeki Wachee, according to his application. Richards, 56, has been an alternate for one year. The recommendation to fill the vacancy will go to the County Commission for final approval.
In other business, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to rezone a Winter Street property that would allow the Times Publishing Company, parent company of the St. Petersburg Times, to build a publishing distribution center off Cortez Boulevard.
In addition, the commission voted 4-1 to postpone a decision on Florida Rock's application to build a concrete batch plant at Ponce de Leon Boulevard and Hawksbury Road. The commission voted to wait until its November meeting after residents near the site expressed fears that the plant would worsen storm runoff and increase the risk of flooding.
