These include residential districts such as Low Intensity Coastal and Lakes (CL), Rural Residential (RUR), Coastal and Lakes Residential (CLR), Central Ridge Residential (CRR), Low Density Residential (LDR), Medium Density Residential (MDR), High Density Residential (HDR), and Planned Residential Development (PDR); commercial districts including Professional Services/Office (PSO), Coastal and Lakes Commercial (CLC), Neighborhood Commercial (NEC), and General Commercial (GNC); industrial districts (Light Industrial LIND and Heavy Industrial IND); and additional districts such as Extractive (EXT), Public/Semi-Public Institutional (PSI), Transportation/Communication/Utilities (TCU), Recreation (REC), Agricultural (AGR), Conservation (CON), Recreational Vehicle Park/Campground (RVP), and Port (PORT). For each district the code sets permitted uses, densities or intensities, minimum setbacks, and height limits.
The Citrus County Land Development Code (LDC) is organized into twelve chapters: Chapter 1 General Provisions, Chapter 2 Land Use Districts, Chapter 3 Use Standards, Chapter 4 Development Applications, Chapter 5 Landscaping, Buffering and Tree Preservation, Chapter 6 Stormwater Management, Chapter 7 Transportation System Standards, Chapter 8 Concurrency Management, Chapter 9 Signs, Chapter 10 Non-Conforming Development, Chapter 11 Subdivision Regulations, and Chapter 12 Development Agreements. The LDC works alongside the county's Comprehensive Plan to regulate how land is developed.
In the Medium Density Residential (MDR) district, single family residential development is allowed at a maximum density of 4.0 dwelling units per acre. Higher density development of 4.1 to 8.0 units per acre may be permitted when additional standards in the Land Development Code are met, per Chapter Two, Section 2406.
The Planning and Development Commission (PDC) reviews development applications including rezonings, subdivisions, site plans, special exceptions, and variances. On rezonings and amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code, the PDC makes recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners, which takes final action. The PDC itself has final action on Variance and Conditional Use applications. The Land Development Division within the Growth Management Department is based at the Lecanto Government Building, 3600 W. Sovereign Path, Lecanto, FL 34461.
