Tevalo Hills Continues to Fight a Zoning Change!
We circulated a petition last year around this time for the same rezone, but due to county policy, we have to start a new petition opposing the same developer. This developer has now filed a planned Development Application (19-1344).
We are a well-established Rural neighborhood zoned (AS-1) 1 acre lots, since 1971. Our "name’ is Tevalo Hills. We have watched our quiet, serene surroundings slowly give way to what is deemed “progress” and have not complained; UNTIL NOW Please help us stop the overcrowded potential development of a 15-acre parcel in the midst of our neighborhood. Many of us have farm animals to include horses, chickens, roosters, and goats. We already have to put up with traffic from a school; our children are not zoned to attend, in their own backyard. We have already changed our lifestyles to accommodate the vast sprawl in the SE corner of Hillsborough county. Enough is enough! According to the Hillsborough County Land and Development Code Intent (Sec. 1.02.03) "to foster and preserve public health, safety, comfort and welfare, and to aid in the harmonious, orderly and progressive development of the unincorporated areas of Hillsborough County". While our elected officials continue to approve development beyond what our county can safely accommodate. We know with each new development comes the need for more schools, hospitals, fire stations, law enforcement facilities and roads which will take years to develop. All of this will impact our Health, Safety, and Welfare as a community. Not to mention the wildlife that has nowhere else to go. Speak up and stand with us. HELP STOP OUR REZONING IN TEVALO HILLS by signing today!

Why is this important?
We are starting this petition to gather community support to help us maintain the character of our long-established neighborhood.
