County commissioners are scheduled to consider the rezoning request Sept. 22 after the county\u2019s zoning hearing master recommended approval.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Velair Development Company is behind the project, positioning the apartments among commercial and residential uses already established along Sheldon Road. That setting supported county planners\u2019 finding that the proposed density fits the surrounding development pattern.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wetlands on the property will determine the project\u2019s final scale, with Velair planning to preserve portions of the site while completing environmental approvals required before construction plans can advance beyond 186 units.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The full 228-unit development would add more traffic to Sheldon Road, with county transportation analysis estimating about 1,020 daily trips compared with about 104 under the property\u2019s existing zoning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Velair is working with Gardner Brewer Hudson, Kimley-Horn and Bold Line Design on the project. The county\u2019s Development Services Department has recommended approval subject to conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRelated<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vacant land near Citrus Park Town Center is moving toward redevelopment with plans for 228 apartments along Sheldon&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":377011,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[135,137,136],"class_list":["post-377010","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa","tag-tampa","tag-tampa-headlines","tag-tampa-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377010","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=377010"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377010\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/377011"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=377010"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=377010"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=377010"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
