LDCPAS-2026-14 — Commercial retail (existing 2,400 sq ft retail building constructed 1974) in Polk County, FL
This small-scale comprehensive plan amendment seeks to change the Future Land Use designation of a 0.50-acre commercial retail property from Residential Low-1 to Commercial Enclave to legitimize an established commercial use that has operated continuously since 1974. The change will enable potential intensification of commercial development on a parcel surrounded by low-density residential uses and newly platted residential neighborhoods, subject to compatibility standards and infrastructure requirements for centralized water/sewer in the Transit Supportive Development Area.
