During the meeting, the commission reviewed the proposal for the Citrus Crossing development, emphasizing its alignment with affordable housing criteria. The project is designed to include 32 small lot subdivision homes along with essential amenities such as stormwater areas, sidewalks, and street lighting. The site will also feature an upland preserve and two different types of landscape buffers to minimize the impact on surrounding residential areas. The project aims to provide affordable housing by meeting specific income criteria verified by the county.

Discussion also highlighted the project’s compliance with zoning regulations and the reduced lot widths and setbacks that facilitate its affordability. A member of the commission clarified these adjustments, noting their importance for qualifying the project under the affordable housing designation. The commission had previously approved a similar project by Habitat for Humanity.
