**Hillsborough County BOCC — Land Use Meeting, April 7, 2026**
All seven commissioners were present (Hagan, Myers, Cameron Cepeda, Cohen, Wostal, Miller, Boles). Every item passed unanimously except one litigation vote.
**The one split/failed vote — J.1, G.L. Acquisitions litigation**
Commissioner Hagan moved, seconded by Commissioner Myers, to proceed with an appeal of the circuit court's Amended Order Granting Petition for Writ of Certiorari in favor of G.L. Acquisitions Corporation, Inc., which quashed the Board's denial of rezoning RZ-PD 23-0132. **The motion failed 3-4.** In favor: Hagan, Myers, Miller. Opposed: Cameron Cepeda, Cohen, Wostal, Boles. The Board therefore did not direct the County Attorney's Office to appeal.
**Largest dollar figure — E.1, Vista Diroma CDD**
The Board approved establishment of the Vista Diroma Community Development District. Of a total **$36,557,996** budgeted for CDD-qualified common area infrastructure development costs, an estimated **$7,928,340 (21.7%)** is expected to be funded with long-term CDD bond proceeds. Moved by Wostal, seconded by Cohen; carried unanimously.
