Hillsborough County's Planning and Growth Management Department has scheduled a bi-annual public meeting to discuss the first round of proposed amendments to the Land Development Code for 2010.

Some of the amendments in this round include codifying notice procedures for land use applications remanded by the County Commission back to the hearing officer, regulation of the installation of propane tanks and electrical generators in the same manner as other similar accessory mechanical equipment, and codifying the use of open storage and storage containers in agricultural zoning districts to be allowed only if they serve a bona fide agricultural use, a release said.

These amendments will be considered for approval by the County Commission this May.

County staff will be at the meeting to provide information and receive input, and public participation is encouraged.

The meeting is planned for March 4 at 6 p.m. at the County Center, 26th Floor Conference Room B, 601 E. Kennedy Blvd., downtown Tampa

A complete list of the amendments and background information is available at the county's Web site.
