CU26-15 — Personal residential helicopter landing pad in Pasco County, FL
This conditional use permit authorizes a 100-foot by 100-foot personal helicopter landing pad on a 16.79-acre rural residential property in northeast Pasco County, limited to non-commercial use with maximum 100 landings and 100 departures annually. The proposal includes noise-abatement measures, flight corridor restrictions over adjacent conservation lands, and restrictions to the current owners, Jacob and Malia Steel. Development impacts are minimal as the property is rural, the site is not in an Urban Service Area, and helicopter operations will not generate measurable impacts to the surrounding transportation network.
