San Antonio is taking St. Leo to court — that is, unless St. Leo town officials work out a settlement with its neighbor instead.
City officials in San Antonio filed a suit against St. Leo in Pasco County’s Sixth Judicial Circuit claiming town officials there violated its comprehensive land use plan and development codes by allowing what San Antonio has called an “industrial style” facility in the middle of a residential neighborhood.
The conflict is over a proposed plant operations facility on property owned by Saint Leo University off Pompanic Street.
“The construction of the facility at this location is inconsistent with the rural character of the community and the adjacent residential uses,” said Brian Bolves, San Antonio’s attorney, in a release.
