Shopping Center Proposed Near I-75

Planning and zoning commissioners on Monday will consider a developer's request for a 57-acre shopping center on the county's eastside.

Nature Coast Crossings would be situated on the north side of State Road 50, about one-quarter mile west of Interstate 75.

H.R. Hernando LLP needs a conditional plat to build on nine commercial lots. Planning staffers reviewed the proposal and found it consistent with the approved master plan and zoning conditions.

If required by the Florida Department of Transportation, the developer would dedicate additional road right of way along S.R. 50 for six-laning and turn lanes.

Planning and zoning board members will meet at 9 a.m. Monday at the Hernando County Government Center, 20 North Main St. in downtown Brooksville.

Also Monday, P&Z members will hear:

• A request to redevelop an existing parking lot area on the east side of U.S. 19, just north of Trenton Avenue, to include a new outparcel with a 5,060-square-foot retail building.

• A special exception use permit to build a cemetery on part of a 2-acre parcel on Malvern Street, west of Dempsey Road.

The petitioner has a 13-acre goat ranch consisting of five adjacent, separately deeded parcels - one of which would be used for the cemetery.

• A proposal from Saakey LLC to re-establish a master plan on 7.25 acres on the east side of U.S. 41, north of Old Ayers Road.

Saakey has proposed a 50- to 60-unit recreational vehicle storage facility along the eastern side of the property and a 25,000-square-foot retail/office facility on the western portion.
