What This Bill Does
Hillsborough County has approved a request to a 0.85-acre public drainage in the Belmond Reserve development. The land is no longer needed for drainage purposes and will be repurposed for residential lots, contingent upon the approval of a replacement drainage plan in the nearby Cedarbrook Phase 6 development.
This decision allows for the conversion of public drainage land into private residential lots in Riverview, provided that a replacement drainage is established elsewhere to maintain local stormwater management.
