06:39The board discussed the proposal in detail, noting that the parcels are located north of Old Bartow Lake Wales Road and east of McLean Road. The petitioner’s intention to develop the property with single-family residential units was highlighted, and while the zoning permits up to 12 units per acre, the maximum density is unlikely to be realized due to development standards, rights of way, stormwater requirements, and floodplain management considerations. The proposal includes a large-scale future land use amendment that requires review by the Florida Department of Commerce and other state and local agencies.

12:29In addition to reviewing the Cassidy Land Development proposal, the Planning Board also received updates on several other projects. Notably, a rezoning request for property at the southwest corner of Dundee Road and Overlook Drive was approved by the City Commission. Furthermore, the board advanced a rezoning and land use assignment for a property at the northwest corner of S Road and Dundee Road to the City Commission. Text amendments incorporating transportation corridor policies into the comprehensive plan have been successfully transmitted to the state for review, with adoption expected by June.
