Future Land Use and Planned Development The primary future land uses in the redevelopment area are Heavy Industrial, Light Industrial, Residential, and Mixed Use, shown in Figure 4 . There are portions of the redevelopment area along Causeway Boulevard that are categorized as Office Commercial. There is a small portion at the southwest corner of the redevelopment area that is categorized as Natural Preservation. Currently, there are approximately 2,263 acres of Planned Development (PD) within the redevelopment area. Competitive Sites have also been identified in the redevelopment area. Competitive Sites are defined by the Hillsborough County Economic Development Department’s Competitive Sites Program as locations with the capacity to support targeted office/industrial development. The Program crafts policies and programs to guide public sector engagement and investment to meet economic development objectives in redevelopment areas. Most competitive sites have an approved Planned Development or Development of Regional Impact (DRI) Development Order with a minimum of 100,000 square feet of office and/ or industrial entitlements or the site has appropriate zoning that allows for a minimum of 100,000 square feet of office/industrial targeted industry development. Competitive sites located in the redevelopment area have a lower threshold with a minimum of 50,000 square feet. The redevelopment project locations shown in Figure 5 are part of Hillsborough County’s Targeted Redevelopment Grant Program. The grant program targets development and uses in areas that are traditionally seen as declining in value or are underutilized relative to their location and existing built infrastructure. In the Palm River Redevelopment Area, these sites include site development and construction for warehouse and flex workspace uses.
