DESCRIPTION
This is a joint County and applicant-initiated request for an LDC text amendment to change the text of the Land Development Code Appendix E, Section E105, Parcel Specific Comprehensive Plan Amendments with Conditions, to establish the Poinciana Commercial Activity Center Plan. State law requires one Planning Commission hearing, which was held on April 1, 2026, with a recommendation for approval by a 7:0 vote.
