Proposed deletions of environmental protections in our Comprehensive Plan
Under pressure from developers and politicians to “streamline” (i.e. deregulate) growth management in Hillsborough County, a whole slew of changes (mostly deletions) are being proposed to Hillsborough County’s Comprehensive Plan.
You can see all the changes online. Please check carefully the proposed deletions of the environmental protections in the Coastal Management Element (CPA 12-04) and the Conservation and Aquifer Element (CPA 12-05).
