Wolff Farms Subdivision Pre-Application Review
Summary
Lennar Homes got the zoning it needed for 199 single-family homes on about 73 acres between SW 28th and SW 32nd Streets. Neighbors raised flooding, traffic on US 441 and lot-size concerns, but commissioners said state law leaves them little room to deny projects consistent with the land-use plan. Chairman Hazellief abstained and the rezone passed 4-0.

Impact analysis
No direct county cost from the rezone itself, but 199 new homes will demand schools, roads and services — the county's newly adopted impact fees are meant to offset that.
Lennar and future homebuyers gain housing close to two schools; local workers in construction trades benefit.
Neighboring one-acre homeowners fear increased flooding, traffic and a character change in their rural area.
