He said this amendment was initiated by the City of Dunnellon to ensure consistency and emphasized the action is unrelated to any builder or neighborhood concerns, which are handled through separate processes.

James Hartley, attorney for the applicant, explained the request is a rezoning to bring the property into compliance with the Future Land Use designation. He noted the code does not allow agricultural (A-1) zoning under low-density residential use, so the proposal is to rezone to the least intensive classification available.

He added there is a 150-foot conservation easement around the perimeter of the property, limiting development to 5% of each buildable lot. Mayor Green invited Council comments and there were none. 9
