DESCRIPTION
This is a County-initiated request for a LDC Text amendment to amend Chapter 206, Accessory Uses, to allow EV Charging Stations as accessory uses and provide standards; amending Chapter 8, Subdivisions, to require notations and standards for 20 MPH speed limit signs on Level 2 plans for residential subdivisions with public roads; and amending Chapter 10 to provide definitions. State law requires one Planning Commission hearing, which was held on April 3, 2024. The Planning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval.
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.
