Holdings II, LLC/The Forum involves a 3.05 acre parcel requested to be 
rezoned as Planned Development Commercial (PDC).

Several Tallevast area residents addressed their opposition to the 
ordinance before the commission on Tuesday, citing their concerns over 
traffic problems, noise, compatibility and potential water contamination.

been detected since a study in April of 2009.
