On November 15, 2023, the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) directed Planning Commission and County staff to provide a report on possible geographic areas that the BOCC might consider for future expansion of the existing Urban Service Area (USA) boundary and what public and private funding options exist for providing infrastructure and services commensurate with new development.
The Urban Service Area is both a boundary on the Future Land Use Map and a strategy to focus 80% of new
growth and redevelopment within that boundary aligning with public and private infrastructure investments.
The land within the Wimauma Village Residential-2 (WVR-2) and the Residential Planned-2 (RP-2) future land use will be examined for expansion of the Urban Service Area boundary.
Areas along and around the I-4 Corridor and Little Manatee South, as shown on the map, will be studied further. This would include further refinement of study areas, infrastructure needs and land use assessments.
A timeline has not been established but the study is anticipated to be a phased, multi-year process that will include extensive public outreach. At the time a schedule is established, it will be made available on this webpage.
We encourage engagement, please let us know what you think!
