DESCRIPTION
This is the adoption hearing for an applicant-initiated LDC Text Amendment to Chapter 4, Section 401.01, I-4/NE Parkway Plan Districts, to remove outdated criteria and requirements for residential development from the I-4 Selected Area Plan (SAP), including the replacement of a tier system necessary for gaining density with the density requirements and Planned Development process used elsewhere in the County. State law requires one Planning Commission hearing, which was held on March 5, 2025, with a recommendation of approval by a 7:0 vote.
Section 163.3202, Florida Statutes (F.S.) requires the Board to adopt Land Development Code (LDC) regulations consistent with the implementation of the Polk County Comprehensive Plan. Amendments to the LDC require two public hearings before the Board to be adopted. This is the second of the two hearings.
