New Port Richey Board Approves Storage Facility on Missouri Ave

The New Port Richey Community Development Board approved a new storage, warehouse, and distribution facility at 706 N. Missouri Avenue. The board made the decision Thursday, August 20, 2026.

The approval allows flexible development within the Institutional (I) District as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project. This strategy aims to revitalize areas like parts of the historic downtown.

The project, FLD2026-03007, includes a building not exceeding 35 feet in height and 29 off-street parking spaces. The board granted flexibility for the facility's specific use under Community Development Code Section 2-1204.A, a Level Two Application. Developers often seek this flexibility for parcels near major roads such as US-19.

Redeveloping the property as a storage, warehouse, and distribution center aligns with the city's infill redevelopment goals. This approach encourages new uses and development on existing urban footprint properties to shape New Port Richey's landscape.

The board reviewed the official application, public meeting documents, site plans, and staff reports. The approval moves forward the utilization of this parcel within the Institutional District, contributing to the city's growth.
