Citrus County Planning Division

  8. EAR Based Amendments • Once deemed sufficient, the county may then prepare amendments to the Comprehensive Plan based on the recommendations contained in the report. • The amendments must be adopted in a single cycle within18 months after the report is deemed sufficient. A 6-month extension may be requested. • Failure to timely adopt and EAR based amendments will result in a prohibition on future amendments to the plan. Citrus County Planning Division

Major Issues • 10-Year Water Supply Plan • Water supply facilities work plan mandated by the 2002 Florida Legislature. • A 10-year work plan for building public, private, and regional water supply facilities necessary to serve existing and new development. • Coordinate with the regional water management plans adopted by the water management district. Citrus County Planning Division

  13. Major Issues • Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) • Consider a “transfer of development rights” system to permanently move development density away from sensitive areas in the coastal and lakes area to more suitable development locations in the central ridge or Planned Service Area. Citrus County Planning Division

Citrus County Planning Division

  16. Major Issues • Future Land Use Guidelines and Standards • Family Homestead – consider possible policy adjustments or other regulatory relief related to family homesteads consistent with Ch. 163.3179 Florida Statutes. • Needs Analysis – review the issue of requiring a demonstrated needs analysis to justify changes to Generalized Future Land Use Map to assure consistency with the requirements of DCA Rule 9J-5 and Florida Statutes. • Industrial land use – clarify future land use designations as to light industrial versus heavy industrial. • Low impact development standards – consider the adoption of appropriate policies for low impact development standards.

If the County chooses not to exceed state standards then a standard septic tank would be sufficient and Policy 3.20.4 should be modified or eliminated. Citrus County Planning Division
