The community development district that governs the Angeline master-planned community in Land O' Lakes lost 22.55 acres after the Pasco County Commission adopted a boundary contraction on Tuesday, Aug. 25.

Ordinance 26-31 removes 22.55 acres from the North AR-1 of Pasco Community Development District (CDD). The district finances, constructs and maintains public infrastructure, community facilities and services within its boundaries in Angeline, the 6,200-acre development straddling Sunlake Boulevard, Suncoast Parkway and Ridge Road in unincorporated Pasco County.

Two parcels are being removed. A 7.525-acre tract sits along State Road 52. The second, called the Crescent Parcel, runs along Sunlake Boulevard. The ordinance does not list the Crescent Parcel's exact acreage separately, but the two parcels together total 22.55 acres.

Chairman Jack Mariano signed the ordinance. Clerk & Comptroller Nikki Alvarez-Sowles attested it. The ordinance states it was adopted "with a quorum present and voting," but individual commissioner votes were not recorded in the document.

According to the petition filed by Tampa law firm Straley Robin Vericker, the CDD was not providing any services or facilities to the two parcels at the time of the request. The developer had been handling those services instead. The landowner of the parcels gave written consent to the removal.

The CDD's Board of Supervisors, chaired by Mike Lawson, first authorized the boundary change through Resolution 2026-02 on Nov. 11, 2025. Attorney Whitney Sousa of Straley Robin Vericker filed the petition on March 17 and revised it three times before the commission hearing.

The contraction does not change the conditions attached to the Project Arthur Master Planned Unit Development, which governs land-use rules across Angeline. All existing Pasco County development regulations still apply to the remaining district land.

Metro Development Group said on its website that Angeline ranked No. 16 on RCLCO's mid-year 2026 list of top-selling master-planned communities nationwide. That was up eight spots from No. 24 the prior year.

The ordinance takes effect once the Florida Department of State confirms receipt. The clerk's office has 10 days from Aug. 25 to transmit the document.
