LDCPAL-2026-8 — Pipe extrusion manufacturing facility with outdoor extrusion equipment, raw material storage silos for plastic resin pellets, finished pipe storage, internal access drives, utility infrastructure, and stormwater management in Polk County, FL

Mosaic Fertilizer seeks to change the Future Land Use designation on approximately 118.78 acres from Phosphate Mining to Industrial to enable development of a pipe extrusion manufacturing facility on reclaimed mine land. The site is remote (14+ miles southwest of Fort Meade), surrounded entirely by Mosaic-owned Phosphate Mining parcels with no structures, and the nearest school and residence are 14.5+ miles and 3.6 miles away respectively, making compatibility concerns minimal but requiring buffering and infrastructure accommodations at detailed development review.
