Level <br /> of service standards for Zephyrhills are indicated on REC Table 4 and REC Table 5, City of <br /> Zephyrhills Comprehensive Plan, which are attached, and indicate that more than sufficient <br /> recreational facilities are in place to handle populations of more than 20,000 and to serve the City and <br /> its residents through the horizon year of 2010. Furthermore, the city is building a second phase onto <br /> its recreationaUcommunity center for Zephyrhills and the East Pasco area. The building, currently <br /> 8,000 square feet, will add an additional'15,000 square feet through its second and third phases for <br /> a total of 23,000 square feet. The facility will include weight rooms, aerobic areas, gymnasium, <br /> , ill <br /> racquetball courts, classroom and youth activity room.

Surrounding land uses are residential, airport and industrial. <br /> (2.) Hammond site. This site abuts the city site and is largely undeveloped. A partially <br /> constructed free fall simulator is located on the property. Future land use is industrial. Surrounding <br /> land uses are residential and industrial and airport related. <br /> (3.) Armstrong site. This site is an existing single family home. Surrounding land uses are <br /> residential, future land uses also are residential, <br /> (4.) Moates property. This site is comprised of five acres and is vacant property, with <br /> mostly cleared areas. Surrounding land uses are residential as are future land uses. <br /> (5.) Phyllis Pose property.
