Pasco property owner suing county for zoning rules

MansonBolves says its client F.A.K. Enterprises Inc., which owns commercial property along Mitchell Boulevard in Pasco County, is suing the county claiming it has placed unreasonable and unconstitutional conditions on the development of the property.

The property in question is near the proposed intersection of Mitchell Boulevard and Pemberton Road. The county wants the landowner to connect the roads and complete intersection improvements, which is estimated to cost around $1 million dollars.

The lawsuit alleges that the county is improperly leveraging its police power to coerce any future developer to construct the road that the county would otherwise have to pay for itself.
