What happened

On November 9, 2026, Hillsborough County approved Rezoning PD26-0803, Villas at Unison (5-0).

Free sample: decision 1 of 13

Agricultural enclave certification AGENC261535 (Dibbs property)

Denial of agricultural enclave certification for eight folios totaling approximately 317 acres owned by Steven Dibbs. Approximately 42 acres were historically excavated, creating Brooker Creek Lake. Staff found the site is not undeveloped because of excavation and an active special use and operating permit, that three of eight folios lack greenbelt status, and that the perimeter tests are not met (31% existing development, 57% designated, 28% within the urban service area). The applicant proposed 17.2 du/ac plus commercial, office and hotel uses at 0.25 FAR. Opposition came from the Keystone Civic Association, the Berry family and others. The motion to deny, based on staff's findings, carried 6-1, with Commissioner Cameron Cepeda voting no.

The other decisions are listed below. Available full write-ups and conditions are included with Pro.
