Correction! I have learned a variance like this does not go to the Board of County Commissioners.
I am going to call tomorrow and get more information!
Please Stay tune!
*******************************
Heads up Keystone community!
This yellow sign is at the corner of Tarpon Springs Road and Jorene Road.
On September 14, 2026, at 9 AM. The developer/land Owner will be having a Land Use hearing asking Hillsborough County to grant their application for variance to build a multi Business strip Center at this corner. Their application states in part that it is a hardship for them to have to meet our Land Development Codes requirement’s for wetland setback and the landscaping and buffering as this is not a requirement for other developers/Land owners to meet with larger parcels. The property size is 1.67 acres. There is a pond that this property is adjacent to, and they’re required to build a wall and a storm vault to protect it from runoff.
What can you do ? If you are opposed to this application then please contact our County Commissioners before September 14.
What could you say if you are opposed? Please try to be specific on your issues and concerns regarding a multi Business strip Center at the corner of Tarpon Springs Road an Jorene Road. Also include the application number VAR. WS. 26–289..
You can find the phone number and email for your comments and concerns at the bottom of the yellow sign. You can also find the County Commissioner’s emails on the Keystone Civic Association homepage at Keystonecivic.org.
Our voices count!
