DESCRIPTION
This is a County-initiated request for an LDC text amendment to add a Section 403.01.L. to establish the Main Street Corridor (MSC) Overlay, plus reinstate Table 3, Wahneta Neighborhood Plan Temporary Uses Modifications. State law requires one Planning Commission hearing, which was held on April 1, 2026, with a recommendation for 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 first of the two hearings.
