About Preserve Rural Lithia

Community Lead

Preserve Rural Lithia is a community-led initiative dedicated to protecting the rural character, environmental resources, and quality of life of Lithia and surrounding areas. We work to ensure land use and zoning decisions are transparent, responsible, and aligned with existing infrastructure, water resources, schools, and long-term planning goals.

Through education, organization, and civic engagement, we empower residents to participate meaningfully in the public process and advocate for thoughtful growth that respects our community, our land, and future generations.


Our Mission

The purpose of Preserve Rural Lithia is to inform, organize, and empower residents affected by land use and zoning decisions that impact our rural communities.

We exist to:

  • Monitor and respond to proposed zoning, comprehensive plan, and land use changes
  • Educate residents on how county planning decisions affect water resources, schools, roads, and rural character
  • Encourage meaningful public participation through meetings, written comments, and public hearings
  • Advocate for responsible, transparent decision-making that aligns growth with existing infrastructure and environmental limits
  • Provide a coordinated voice for residents navigating multiple, overlapping development proposals

Preserve Rural Lithia serves as a resource and organizing hub for community members who want to stay informed, engaged, and heard as decisions are made that will shape the future of our area.

Contact County Representatives

TAKE ACTION

CALL AND EMAIL ALL 7 COUNTY COMMISSIONERS


We’ve created a contact list for all 7 Hillsborough County Commissioners, and we need everyone to start calling each one to voice opposition to the proposed rezoning and site the corresponding Zoning/Land Use Application number.

Zoning changes will impact our rural AR community, and it is critical that every commissioner hears from us.

Important to know:

Christine Miller is our local district commissioner

Donna Cameron Cepeda is the county-wide commissioner

Even though we have local and county-wide representatives, ALL 7 commissioners vote, so every one of them must be contacted.

When you call, simply say:

“I am calling to oppose zoning application "XYZ" on "XYZ Road" and I ask that the land remain zoned AR.”

Please take a few minutes to make these calls and encourage your friends and neighbors to do the same. This is how we protect our community.

EMAIL THE COMMISSIONERS

MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD

We are urging every member of our community to contact the Hillsborough County Commissioners and express your opinion. We need to protect our quiet, low-density lifestyle, our animals, our safety, and the rural character we all moved here to enjoy. Higher density results in more traffic and over-burdens our already crowded schools.  Your email or message to the Commissioners can make a meaningful impact—please take a moment to share your concerns and help preserve the rural community we’ve all worked so hard to build.

The link to contact your county commissioners can be found at:

https://hcfl.gov/government/board-of-county-commissioners/contact-your-commissioner


Be sure to check the box indicating this is related to an active zoning application, and include the correct Application Number found above.

DON'T FORGET TO REFERENCE THE ZONING APPLICATION NUMBER
