The Pasco County Planning Commission has recommended approval of a request by Jeffrey Hust and Margaret Hust for a mixed-use development that includes 1.6 million square feet of mixed use and 1,000 multi-family dwellings.
The proposed mixed uses are 800,000 square feet of light industrial, 400,000 square feet of office and 400,000 square feet of commercial and retail uses.
The proposed master-planned unit development (MPUD), known as Abbey Crossings, is being planned for 245.24 acres on the south side of County Road 52, intersecting with McKendree Road.
The land currently is zoned for agricultural and commercial uses.
In addition to the rezoning, the applicant is asking for greater flexibility in the neighborhood park design for the multi-family apartments and is seeking a reduction in the on-site parking requirements.
The planning and development department has reviewed the requested variations and found that they meet or exceed the intent of the code, according to the planning commission’s Aug. 24 agenda materials.
The proposed project is within the boundaries of Connected City, specifically in the Business Core Center.
No one spoke during the planning board’s meeting for or against the project.
The request now goes to the Pasco County Commission for final action.
