DRI #59/#209 - APOLLO BEACH (PHASE II)
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY
On July 10, 2006, the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners rendered to the Tampa Bay Regional
Planning Council Resolution No. R06-119. The Resolution reflects an amendment adopted by the Board on June
13, 2006.
BACKGROUND
Phase I of the Apollo Beach development (DRI #59) was specifically approved in 1979 to include 5,719
residential units, 149 acres of commercial development, 15 acres for school sites and 18 acres for recreational
facilities on 5,180 acres. This mixed-use development is located between U.S. 41 and Tampa Bay, in southwest
Hillsborough County. Conceptual approval of the later three phases was contingent upon further potable water
supply, sewage disposal, drainage, historical and archaeological and transportation analyses. The entire project
was initially proposed to contain 17,971 residential dwelling units, of which 4,418 were vested from DRI review.
On April 25, 1990, Hillsborough County granted specific approval of Phases II and III. Phase IV retained
conceptual approval status and required further analyses.
The Development Order has subsequently been amended seven times, most recently on October 22, 2002
(Resolution No. 02-267). The amendments have cumulatively: consolidated DRI #59 (Apollo Beach Phase I) &
DRI #209 (Apollo Beach Phases II-IV) into a single Development Order; down-scaled the project in terms of
acreage and entitlements due to acquisitions under the ELAPP program and/or Harbor Bay DRI; modified the
number of project phases and extended each of the phase build out dates; relocated the golf driving range (to
Pocket #108) and the golf clubhouse (to Pocket #99A); subdivided Pocket #70; authorized an additional 133
single-family residential units between Pockets #70A, #72 #99A and #105; and corresponding legal description
and Master Development Plan modifications. The Development Order for DRI #59/#209 expires on April 29,
2011.
The following summarizes the current entitlements approved for the project:

Phase II entitlements) from the Apollo Beach Development of Regional Impact.
RECOMMENDATION

determined to be consistent with the Council’s NOPC Report, adopted on February 13, 2006, and with the
Council'sFinal Report adopted on January 19, 1990.
It is recommended that the Department of Community Affairs concur with the Development Order amendment
issued by Hillsborough County for DRI #59/#209 - Apollo Beach (Phase II).
