Dropping townhomes for apartments
By ANDREW MEACHAM
Published November 3, 2006
SEFFNER Dropping townhomes for apartments M/I Homes of Tampa is asking permission to modify a 57-acre planned development on Bryan Road between Williams Road and Interstate 75, changing 575 townhouses to the same number of apartments. Attorney Judith James, representing the developer, told a zoning hearing master in October that the modification would fall below the county's comprehensive plan density of 20 units an acre. The proposal goes to the County Commission on Dec. 12. PETITION 06-1963 RIVERVIEW Landowner seeks commercial zoning Property owner Tarya Tribble is seeking to rezone one-third of an acre from residential to commercial neighborhood to make way for a law office or for other professional use. The property sits northwest of Hackney Drive and U.S. 301. Several adjacent properties have made the same move, including a grocery store, gasoline station and an accounting office - all on formerly residential properties. The request goes to a zoning hearing master on Nov. 27. PETITION 06-1673 RIVERVIEW Houses, townhomes planned for 5 acres Owner Han Lin Bing seeks to build a subdivision on 5 acres south of Symmes Road and one-quarter mile west of U.S. 301. The request is to change the property from agricultural to a planned development. It would contain 17 houses and 12 townhouses. The Planning Commission has recommended the zoning change, which goes before the County Commission on Nov. 14. PETITION 06-1145 VALRICO Zoning for retail, offices proposed Property owners Michael Abdoney and Edward Gorman are seeking to rezone 6 acres on the northeast corner of State Road 60 and St. Cloud Avenue for a retail and office complex. The change from agricultural and commercial zoning to a planned development would pave the way for a grocery store anchoring other retail, plus a multistory office building. The proposed development would also host a bank, a convenience store with gas pumps, a "quality restaurant" and a fast-food restaurant. The request goes to county commissioners on Dec. 12. PETITION 06-1207 Andrew Meacham can be reached at 661-2431 or ameacham@sptimes.com.
