Developers of Epperson and Mirada – the first Connected City communities – recently rezoned their master-planned communities.
Pasco County commissioners approved the changes, which consolidated prior approvals under the umbrella of the state-approved Connected City corridor.
The corridor covers about 7,800 acres in northeast Pasco County. Its borders are Interstate 75, State Road 52, and Curley and Overpass roads.
Construction is underway at both developments. Epperson will soon be the first North American community to open a Crystal Lagoon.
The 7.5-acre lagoon, with its crystal blue waters, is a featured amenity offering pristine views, kayaking, swimming, paddle-boarding, cabanas and sandy beaches.
Mirada, with a total of about 1,800 acres, is expected to feature its own 10-acre lagoon.
At build-out, Mirada is expected to have the following:
- More than 4,000 single-family houses
- About 1,500 age-restricted single-family houses
- About 900 apartments
- About 421,000 square feet of retail
- Nearly 288,000 square feet of office/medical/hospital/university
- About 200 hotel rooms
