DESCRIPTION
This is an applicant-initiated LDC Text Amendment to Chapter 4, Section 401.01, I-4/NE Parkway Plan Districts, to remove outdated criteria and requirements for residential development from the I-4 Selected Area Plan (SAP), including the replacement of a tier system necessary for gaining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.

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 first of the two hearings. The adoption hearing will be held April 15, 2025.
