County commissioners in Wesley Chapel approved a mixed-use plan for the Kenton Road corridor, allowing a self-storage facility, hotel, and retail complex near the Connected City community hub. The project includes 110,000 square feet of non-residential space and 120 hotel rooms, with conditions addressing resident concerns about community hub criteria. Opposition focused on integrating storage and hotel developments in a residential area, but developers conceded to extend a retail ban from two to three years. The board unanimously voted to approve the plan after debates over zoning standards and design aesthetics. The project also involves constructing a missing Kenton Road segment and adding traffic signals.
