Planning bosses to hear health dept. proposal

Hernando Today

BROOKSVILLE - County staffers will recommend planning and zoning commissioners approve a plan Monday that would modify the health department facility on the north side of Forest Oaks Boulevard.

The revised plan, called a public service facility overlay district, would increase the size of the structure from 45,000 to 50,000 square feet.

The request sets aside 20,000 square feet of future expansion and the addition of 0.56 acres from the adjacent sewer treatment plant side to include more parking and drainage.

The health department would occupy about 6.24 acres of the overall 11.1-acre Forest Oaks site.

Also Monday, planning commissioners will consider an amendment to the county's future land use map to accommodate a future housing, commercial and industrial development on a 4,282-acre tract on the north side of U.S. 98 and Lake Lindsey Road.

The developer, Brooksville Quarry LLC, is proposing building on former mining land.
