LDCT-2026-20 — Amendment to compatibility review procedures in Polk County, FL
County-initiated text amendment to Chapter 9 of the Land Development Code to modify residential compatibility standards and review procedures to comply with Florida HB 399 (effective January 1, 2027). The amendment requires staff to identify specific areas of incompatibility and consider feasible mitigation measures before recommending denial based on compatibility, and establishes procedures for documenting compatibility concerns. This procedural change affects how all future rezoning, subdivision, and site plan applications will be evaluated for compatibility.
