BRIEF OVERVIEW
In Hernando County Planning Department File Number H-22-58, Adam Webster, Wayne Karastury, and Civil-Tech Consulting, LLC ("Webster") applied to the County to reestablish a master plan for land zoned Planned Development Project (General Highway Commercial) to add a specific additional C-2 zoning district use for the operation of a mini-warehouse.
On November 14, 2022, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of Webster's application.
On December 13, 2022, a public hearing was conducted on the application to reestablish the master plan and add a specific C-2 use and the Hernando County Board of County Commissioners denied the application.
