LITHIA -Neighbors of the proposed Lake Hutto subdivision protested Monday in front of the County Center, anticipating that the County Commission will consider a developer's zoning request tonight.

As a Development of Regional Impact, Lake Hutto, a Pulte Homes project, needs the approval of more than a dozen local and state agencies for up to 3,200 homes and 360,000 square feet of commercial space south of the Alafia River and west of Lithia-Pinecrest Road.

The developer is seeking planned development zoning for Lake Hutto's 1,100 acres and a change in the county's Comprehensive Plan, doubling the density in a part of the project from two to four units an acre.

The County Commission meeting on Lake Hutto starts at 6 tonight at the County Center, 601 E Kennedy Blvd.

That area is already congested enough, and there are a bunch of homes that have been built that are sitting vacant because the housing market crashed; what are they crazy? If the County approves this, that proves they're $$$ hungry!
