There is property set aside for commercial use. With the rapid growth in HPP.I don't think it would be hard to find a developer to build.
That property is still "zoned Ag", and I've seen references to a covenant that further restricts the use.
It would also take a lot of traffic off of 130.
Absolutely -- and if schools were built, some children would be within walking distance.
I think HPP needs to bring in some professionals who know how to make this come about.
Yes. Start with a development consultant (to get the appropriate rezoning), then bring in the high-powered lawyers when County/State refuse to allow it. Should only take about 5 years, during which time the traffic on 130 will keep getting worse...
There is conflict between the original plan for the development created by the developer and the zoning created by the county. The county zoned all of HPP Agricultural lands, so anyone wanting to deviate from that has to get a special use permit since so far the county has not been willing to rezone those parcels.
The commercially designated lots are not owned by the HPPOA, they are in private hands, I think the original developer still owns them, but I am not sure. They are the ones who would have to push for rezoning and so far they are just banking the land.
The HPPOA controls the lots designated for schools and parks, there are tight restrictions on what those lots can be used for.
