New Procedures Manual Streamlines Plan Amendment Process
On Monday, December 12th 2011, the Planning Commission unanimously passed a resolution to consolidate the Comprehensive Plan Amendment Procedures Manual for Unincorporated Hillsborough County and the Cities of Tampa, Temple Terrace and Plant City.
