## Summary: Hillsborough County Zoning Hearing Master Results, August 24, 2026
This was a zoning hearing master (ZHM) session covering rezoning and planned development applications. No dollar amounts, contracts, or budget items were involved, as this is a land-use/zoning proceeding rather than a fiscal one. No named individual moved or seconded items — motions/results were recorded procedurally (e.g., "Withdrawn," "Continued," "Heard and Pending Recommendation") without indicating a second party or seconder, consistent with the hearing officer format (a single Hearing Officer presides rather than a multi-member board voting).
**Withdrawals (2):**
- MM 26-0154 (Todd Pressman/Pressman & Assoc.) — withdrawn by the Zoning Administrator per LDC Sec. 10.03.02.C.2
- RZ-PD 26-0206 (Karla Llanos) — withdrawn by the Zoning Administrator per same code section
- RZ-STD 26-0979 (Todd Pressman) — withdrawn from the hearing process
**Continuances (14 items):** A large number of applications were continued to the September 28, 2026 ZHM hearing, either at Staff's request or because they were "out of order to be heard." These included multiple applications tied to Todd Pressman, Jacob T. Cremer/Barbas Cremer PLLC, and Learning Gate Community School, Inc. (two separate applications).
**Heard and Pending Recommendation (9 items):** These applications were heard and are pending a recommendation to the BOCC Land Use Meeting on October 13, 2026, including:
- RZ-STD 26-1168 (Larry Poliner/RCE Consultants) — 0.45 acres, W Linebaugh Ave
- RZ-STD 26-1184 (Mattamy Tampa/Sarasota, LLC) — 16.51 acres, Raulerson Rd
- MM 26-0062 (Chris Doherty) — 9.48 acres, Apollo Beach Blvd
- RZ-PD 26-0363, 26-0445, 26-0822 (Todd Pressman, three separate parcels)
- RZ-PD 26-0671 (Balm Rd LLC) — 79.9 acres
- RZ-PD 26-0673 (Corporation to Develop Communities of Tampa Inc.) — 1.71 acres
- RZ-PD 26-0974 (Leaders Companies, LLC) — 3.4 acres
**Unusual/Notable items:**
- Two applications (D.6, MM 26-0800, Perfection Partners Limited Partnership, 24.22 acres; and D.7, RZ-PD 26-0803, 22nd Avenue Tampa LLC, 22.2 acres) were routed not to the standard BOCC Land Use Meeting but to a **Comprehensive Plan Amendment Meeting** on October 8, 2026 — a distinct procedural track from the other applications.
- No Special Use items were listed under Section E.
- No Remands were listed under Section B.
Overall, this was a routine procedural hearing consisting largely of continuances and withdrawals, with nine substantive applications heard and referred forward for BOCC action.
