- 5 REVIEW PROCESS & STANDING TO SPEAK BEFORE THE BOCC FOR REZONING (RZ) REQUESTS, AND MAJOR MODIFICATIONS (MM) TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS
- 6 The Land Development Code (LDC) requires that a public hearing be conducted on certain land development requests (RZ, MM) prior to final decision by the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). Land Use Hearing Officers (LUHOs) conduct hearings. LUHOs do not make final decisions, but instead render recommendations to the BOCC. Final decisions by the BOCC are made at a public meeting governed by the requirements of the LDC. The BOCC considers the recommendation of the LUHO at a public meeting. The BOCC can, by law, consider only the record of the proceedings before the LUHO. Additional evidence requests may be filed pursuant to the criteria in the LDC. The BOCC will consider the requests and may grant them if the appropriate criteria are met by the party making the requests. Those persons wishing to speak before the BOCC at the public meeting may only do so if they qualify as a Party of Record. A Party of Record is a person that meets one of the following criteria: A. A person who was present at the hearing before the Land Use Hearing Officer (LUHO) and presented with oral testimony or documentary evidence. B. A person who was notified by Proof of Mailing on the hearing before the LUHO. This includes the Designated Representative(s) of the registered Neighborhood Organizations within 1 mile of the site for which the request was made. C. A person who submitted documentary evidence to the master file two (2) business days prior to the LUHO hearing or by proxy during the LUHO hearing. Testimony from Parties of Record will be permitted at the BOCC public meeting for those applications placed on the Regular Agenda. Applications that do not meet the criteria for placement on the Regular Agenda are placed on the Consent Agenda. Testimony is not provided on Consent Agenda items. As no new evidence or testimony is permitted at the BOCC Land Use Meeting, qualifying Parties of Record can only speak to the oral testimony and/or documentary evidence submitted at the LUHO hearing or placed into the master file two (2) business days prior to the LUHO hearing. The BOCC Land Use Meeting Agenda can be viewed at HCFLGov.at least 5 days prior the meeting. Requests for Additional Evidence must be filed on the appropriate forms within ten (10) calendar days after the date of the filing of the LUHO’s recommendation. All requests for Additional Evidence must be filed with the Clerk to the BOCC no later than close of business on 01/16/2026. You can file Request for Additional Evidence with the Clerk via email boccrec@hillsclerk.com or in person at 601 E. Kennedy Blvd, Tampa, FL 33601 or 419 Pierce Street, Room 140, Station 14 and 15, Tampa, FL 33602; fax (813) 272-5044; telephone: (813) 276- 8100, ext. 4567.
